Tuesday, June 17
I cannot believe June is half gone. I promised everyone I would post pictures from Michael deMeng’s pez class. This class was a blast. Jim and I had a great time collecting objects to use in our altered art. We went in the pouring rain one morning to the Marshfield Flea Market. Although it was raining, we were able to find some great items, including the armored mask I used on my pez.
As we got closer to the class I realized we’ve been collecting larger objects….most objects too large to attach to your normal 5″ high pez. I was talking with Marie at The Stamp Act and she suggested I use a jumbo pez. We waited until the last minute to look for pez, nothing new there. We went to Wal-Mart, Walgreen’s, Stop & Shop, Shaw’s, CVS, and there were no pez. I needed to get a couple of items from Linen n’ Things. As I was walking through the store I came across a clearance table and to my surprise there was a jumbo cookie monster pez on sale from $19.99 to $4.99, BINGO! As for Jim’s Pez, some of the girls brought in extra pez for those of us that could not find any.
We started the class by deciding on what objects we were going to alter our pez with. I knew that I wanted to use the armored mask, but it weighed a lot. I looked at Jim, and said “honey, will you make this work for me?” He was armed with a dremel and cut-off blade and made it work. I don’t mind using a saws-all at home, but the thought of melting the plastic with the dremel did not appeal to me. Jim was also able to save the sound piece that plays the theme to Sesame Street when you dispense the pez.
Here are some pictures from the class. It was so much fun taking the class with Jim.
