Jelly Beans and A Surprise


Time for some more Royal Wedding fun. I fell in love with this portrait that is featured in the Peter Jones department store on Sloane Square, all made of jelly beans.


Forgive the harsh store lights please--impossible to get a shot without glare, but isn't this fun, and I'm  amazed at how accurate it is!


It took artist Malcolm West 5 weeks to complete,


and he used over 11,000 Jelly Belly beans to make their images come alive. Only 15 of their 50 flavors were used--do you think your favorite is there?

And now for the surprise. 

Since the Little Prince arrived 11 days early (pictures coming soon,) and my husband is so persuasive, and I have a bad case of the Royal Wedding bug, I have just decided to hop on a plane and head to London for a long, celebratory weekend. Hope to share with you soon some of the joy!
