Handmade snake candy canes!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

So, I recently though of this wonderful little idea, and it's really too bad I did not think of it sooner. But, while they are still in the making, I decided to unveil my latest breation... snake candy canes! They are modeled after albino milksnakes, which are the closest match to a candy cane there is! This is jsut the first batch of many to be made... and this batch is actually not finished, they need a gloss applied to make them shiny. I am also going to put a little bow on each snake. I will be handing these out to my coworkers this year, and will be taking a bunch to the hamburg show and selling them for $6 each, or $15 for 3. I think they will be a hit! Even my mom says she's going to hang some on our tree! If you would like to order some snake candy canes... shoot me a PM and I will work with you on that. I have to make a whole bunch before the show next saturday and if you guys like them and want to order any, Ill make even more! Anyway.. heres the work in progress.. I'll be working on these most of today!

Great idea. Very "Martha".
Are they made from clay or are they edible?

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

haha, they are made from polymer clay. From what I understand... polymer clay is not edible nor tasty! :D

Wait...so you can't actually eat those? Aww...Seriously though, they look yummy.

the eyes are glass beads. I have 8 cooking in the oven and another tray of 8 waiting to get cooked next. I have also started rolling 8 more! that's batch number four on it's way!
