Candy Tongue Painting Experiment #1

This idea comes from Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith.

Candy: Wonka Everlasting Gobstopper

In box: Red, Orange, Green, Purple, Yellow.

It took me a little while to figure out why I couldn’t get the color to show up on the page. I discovered that you can’t suck on the candy for more then a few seconds before you put your tongue on the paper. That is when the color pigment is the strongest. Don’t get lost in the flavor ;)

I’d like my next one to be with different types of candy mixed together so I can play with texture and different color shades/levels of brightness etc. And maybe instead of just pressing my tongue onto the page actually making a recognizable image using this method <3

and for fun

My tongue feels really fucking weirdnow, and the front of my head aches a little.

Another downside to painting with large amounts of sugar ;) I did however not eat one friggin full piece.

I spit them out into this baggiewhen they lost color.

See my pathetic little used, whore candy:
