The Popsicle Stick Sculpture Contest

On August 18th our family will be attending the “Austin Ice cream festival”
What kind of contest would an Ice cream festival have? Well they’ll have an ice cream eating contest, an ice cream making contest and the one I’m going to enter…The Popsicle Stick Sculpture Contest!
Snippet:
"Make anything, yes anything out of Popsicle sticks. No pre-notched sticks allowed. Make your creation at home and bring it to the festival or make it at the festival. Get creative and have fun! You can use adhesives and decorations, but the primary building material must be Popsicle sticks. Who wants to be the Popsicle Stick Building Champion? All ages’ welcome. Free to all.”

Here are some photos from my entry, I still need to do some touch up work on them but you can get the idea!
We had family craft day yesterday and I never had so much fun with Popsicle sticks! I worked off and on for 12 hours between helping the kids with their projects and working on mine.

They stand about 18/20 inches tall and are made with love, Popsicle sticks, glue, paint and other little details like buttons!
I’ll need to put a shelf up in the game room to display them after the contest.
Win or lose I think I did a great job and…..Now I have some real PRO’s to play Wii with!
Also the kids have just flipped over them they want me to make a luigi, princess Peach, and Bowser! WOW we’d have the whole family!
I doubt I’ll “really” make all those but make some other classics would be fun!
