Family Life: Marzipan Babies?










(Almost) Wordless Wednesday
Pop Quiz. These adorable infants are made of . . .

Marzipan
Frosting
Glass
Polymer
Bubble Gum
Ceramics
Created by artist Camille Allen, these 2-5 inch sculptures are made from marzipan. Oops! Just kidding. According to Snopes.com that's an urban legend. If you guessed polymer and/or ceramics you are correct.
Reminiscent of live fetuses, these sweet babies are made from Prosculpt polymer, clay, and mohair. They're blushed with paints for realism, and to enhance their tiny wrinkles and creases. Sweet enough to eat? NO. Delightful? Absolutely.

e-mom, I am cracking up! Just the thought of those cute wee things being made from bubblegum is making me cringe and shudder! (very vivid imagination here....thinking of chewing those!)

Oh my....you got me good. I"ll be thinking about his all day now. lol

They are very sweet though (and thankfully not from corn syrup)
