Project 1 Wax/Paper/Gummy Candy

So, with the mold I made, I create three positives made of wax, wet newspaper, and melted gummy candy. This part of the project was frustrating and I did not enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Since my mold was still so brittle when I made my first wax positive, the positive made chucks of my mold bust off and it simply wasn't the same after that. The next wax one I made was better but still just did not turn out at all like I had originally planned. The paper one was also a piece of crap to do because the first time I did it the positive broke when I tried taking it out and that really pissed me off but the second try work out a little better but still really shitty. The best part of making the positives was the gummy candy one. I had a lot of fun melting down the candy because it made me feel as though I worked for Willy Wonka or something and it turned out really well! Way better than expected actually and I was pleasantly surprised by what I ended up with. I guess I could eat it but I would rather have someone else eat it and see what they think. There is still candy down there too. All in all it turned out ok, but it could have been a lot better. Here are some pictures of the positives I created.
