the making of lollipop

i started with layers and layers of sap green
i'm guessing there are about 10-15 washes of green!

 next, with help from the little man, 
i started on the chandelier

now, my favorite!!!
COLOR is being added
i used striped tissue paper from 
Kate Spade as inspiration
(you can see it on the back wall)

i was constantly moving from color to color
my jars of water and palette

here, i thought i may be done, 
but something was missing
the chandlier wasn't popping like i wanted
so...

i added paint pens
and voilĂ 
lollipop
:)
