Big sugar dummies



I made a mould of a ceramic insulator from a telegraph pole that I 'found' recently.  It's the old-fashioned type and reminds me of a baby's dummy and so I decided to cast the insulator in sugar like the big sugar dummies that I used to buy on day trips to Blackpool.  This was the idea:-



I was thinking as well of electricity and sugar both being energy sources.

Unfortunately after casting it looks rather phallic which gives a whole different nuance to this piece:-

Maybe it's the pink silicone I used for the mould ...

Anyway I'll be casting this weekend at home so fingers crossed.  Note to self - do NOT use pink food colouring for dummies.
