#Sugar Sculptures

Japanese Candy Art | Amezaiku | 飴細工

Amezaiku are incredibly detailed sugar sculptures that are often (almost) too lovely to eat. The candy-sculpting craft began during the 8th century. The handmade Japanese candy is created by pulling and twisting melted sugar. Using their hands and other tools such as tweezers and scissors, the craftsman must work quickly to finish the sculpture before the sugar hardens. In the Edo era, watching an amezaiku artisan sculpt candy was popular street entertainment. Today, you can still find skilled artisans in areas such as Asakusa in Tokyo carrying on the tradition.

the church: we're commissionning the Paige workshop 10 000 cress to craft sugar sculptures for one of the most important events of the year, where they'll be exposed at the most holy site of the kingdom, and if you fuck up, we'll scrap both money and sugar sculptures. you'll also have to deal with random inspection to make sure the quality is up to our expectations

also the church: to do so, we're lending you the most broken-ass and dilapidated castle, one that's also associated with the (hissing between their teeth) heretics who attempted to overthrow our king. good luck.

#sugar apple fairy tale #this is so funny to me #do you want them to make good s.ugar sculptures or no?? #sweetchcolate's nonsense of the day

Pair of Decorative Bronzes

(sugar shakers?)

In September 1752, the  marchand-mercier  (dealer) Lazare Duvaux recorded in his daybook that he was "to clean and restore two lacquered figures carrying sugar canes, and polish the silver sugar canes and flowers" for Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV's mistress, an important patron of the arts. This note led scholars to guess that these decorative figures may have belonged to this famous paramour. These figures are two of only a few objects documented as having been in her possession that still exist today. No other decorative pieces made in the 1700s combining bronze and silver are known.

silver 1738–1750; bronze 1745–1749

Fall Planet- ceramic, merengue cookies, and candy. Heavily inspired by The Little Prince.

Flavors are Mexican chocolate, orange and almond, and apple (made with freeze dried apple powder)

The tree was a bitch and a half to make and had to be reimagined a few times during the build, it it turned out so good! There were a few mistakes along the way (the thing over the rose is a kludged sugar glass dome that ended up….. like that), but overall I’m real happy with it

I’m so proud of my students this week!!! It’s their first go at casting sugar and they did so well! I wasn’t going to insist they do any finished pieces - just practice pouring and techniques - but they stepped up and everybody made a finished piece!

(Last one is mine, it doesn’t count!)

I can’t wait to see how they do next week!

#the more i learn about the history of life. the more alien it seems to me #thats how i want to start my letter of intent #but i dont remember how im supposed to write one. ur supposed to talk about all ur qualifications. i think. y ur the right person for the #position. but i dont want to do that. i just want to chase down the words to make the ideas in my head make sense #bc its true. life to me has become increasingly alien. and i mean that in only the best of ways. #astrobiology has always been my focus but im not quite sure its an accurate descriptor anymore #i mean. it is the way i understand it. for understanding life we have a sample size of 1. we have to start here #until we find something else. so i want to study and understand the life on this planet. how it came to be. how its changed. whats pushing #those changes. but thats not what people think when they hear astrobiology. nobody else seems to get it #like the way i see plants has completely changed. a plant is a very strange thing. it is a body with many cells reaching up to capture #light from a far off star. making sugar from starlight. and plants have a history having been something soft bodied. green goo #but they developed structure. they consumed another small gooey body and crept across the barren surface of the early earth #a biome is dicated by the plant life in a given location. plants have helped to sculpture the ecology of the world #making a landscape of green hands reaching higher and high toward the light #its weird. alien. and i never thought about that before. there r so many things i want to know. im streched in a million directions. i want #to read papers but i cant hold the words long enough to make them make sense. i want to listen to people talk about life but i know they #generalize. they miss the finer details. i want narratives and poetry. i want stories that make me think about the world differently. but i #want to listen to the same things over and over and over until ive felt out every detail and every contour of why its wonderful. until i #understand. but i can only occupy one place at a time. so ive been laying here for 3 hours. thinking about all the things i want to do and #not doing any of them. but its not all terrible bc at least i have things i want to do. and the way i feel abt these things is so different #from how i feel abt what im paid to do. my interests have diverged too much. im not having fun there anymore. i havent been for a while. #all my good will burned away and now theres nothing but the guilt of no longer being invested. but i only have to be here until the end of #spring. so not much longer. and then ill b somwhere else. doing something more interesting. hopefully #that's all. i just put too much pressure on things and then i cant do anything bc im crushing myself #hm i should stop that #unrelated #lol welcome to my blog where i draw ninjas while being unironically haunted by the mysteries of life in the universe
