Jellio: Fun by Design
5000 Gummi Bears lit up
Isn't it great when you come across those moments in life when you think you've just about seen everything and then suddenly seeing something fantastic and surprising makes you realise there's plenty more creativity in the world to be seen. I noticed this recently posted on Swissmiss which I simply felt compelled to share with everyone and some comments also referenced YaYa Chou Gummi Bear Series including an amazing Chandelier. The pictured chandelier sold by Jellio is made of approximately 5000 hand-strung acrylic gummi bears which apparently takes about two months to complete. Only ten will ever be made and each one will be a little different. The chandelier weighs approximately 50 lbs and is 31" in diameter. At first I thought they were actually real edible gummi bears but the material is listed as acrylic, so that's a shame but at least it will last forever. If you want one then buy here.
So which generous person wants to buy me one?

Beautiful!
How very camp!
I wonder how many gummi bears they consumed while making that master piece. How cute.
this looks so hectic!
even a bit too colourful - it would probably making my head spin if i had one LOL
That looks way better than this one http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2007/03/gummy_bear_chandelier.html but this one is real.. and would melt ha:)
Wow!! That is awesome. I could imagine having that above my bed... that way, I'd be having sweet psychedelic dreams every night!

hi john, my thoughts exactly :-)
hi joey, hehe maybe one of the version actually has the rainbow colours :-)
hi a cupcake or two, if they're acrylic i assume not too many or they'd be visiting the dentist pretty soon :-)
hi bbsnoopy, i guess i can see your point. perhaps in the corridor so it's not constantly always to be seen. would make a great talking piece when guests come over though :-)
hi PIE-3.14, oh the real one wins in terms of amazing but i hate to think if it starting melting or going sticky, let alone the dusting hassle
hi debbii, oh yeah sweet dreams for sure every night :-)
For a second I thought they were real gummi bears...thankfully not - what a waste it would have been if they were all melted against the light. Thanks for the sugar craving though!
omg so cute!! i wouldn't mind having one of those hanging in my room hehehe
hi elaine, i thought they were real too. so life like.
hi nomnomnibblies, i'd love one too :-)
