Dress made from six year collection of candy wrappers

Dressing for Prom can be so daunting! What if you buy the same dress as one of the other girls? This is not the case with Wisconsin teen, Tara Frey, whose mother, Kerrin, started collecting candy wrapper’s six years ago. Since then, and with over 40 hours of straight manpower, they’ve been crafting a candy wrapper dress, with shoes and a clutch to match. Talk about a sweet Prom style.

I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to revel in New Jersey artist Heejin Roh’s impossibly subtle graphite drawings in person recently. Roh is a fresh out graduate of the SVA Illustration Master’s Program, which had it’s annual student show recently. Having been so impressed with Roh’s work at the show, I was pleased to discover that her images translate so nicely into a tiny jpeg on my computer screen. I only wish there were more!
