I was there to witness

Pinkamena's racing business.

She wants racers to notice

her bike has four hundred horses.



Hey, hi, there she goes

Driving way too fast but never too slow

Around the race track she will go

Because her bike is made of candy (and sweets).



Slight ponification of Robbie William's song "Candy" there.

Holy Mother of monkey milk, this took way too long to build. Life got in the way a few times as well, which is why it took two months to get this tasty treat to look good. (And the bike looks nice, too. HEE! Just teasing, Pinks.)

The foot pedals are made of clear acrylic mixed with acrylic colored ink that are supported with nails. The icing is original sculpy that was pressed through a large icing nozzle. (Had to do that by hand as the clay was too hard for the icing gun.)

Everything else is my usual 50/50 mix of firm and original sculpy and acrylic paint.

One note about the baking time for the paint job. It says on the paint bottles to bake the paint for thirty minutes at 350 degrees, but when I did that it looked like Pinkamena got her fur bleached pale by staying under a tanning lamp for too long. Yikes! Good thing I had a bit of dark pink paint left before the photo shoot. I'll bake the next project at a lower temperature with less time.



Anyway, I hope you like my non-creepy Pinkamena.
