Normal people buy Smarties because their 6 year old is having a birthday party and they want all the kids to be hyped up, running around the room from the sugar rush, so they will all sleep well at night.
I buy Smarties because I want to color-sort them and make rainbows and hearts. So that’s what I did. I played a bit with the colors and shapes for a while. The only problem: the Smarties kept telling me to eat them. That made the process a bit harder, especially because there were less and less colors to work with.
I didn’t run around my room. Partially because my room is rather small. I did sleep well though.
Hahaha love this post! ♥

Yeah.. I am still eating them haha. And will be until they are all gone ;)
DeleteHa ha, this has made my day!
ReplyDeleteI've never played with smarties, only gobbled them up, but i do play with colours when it comes to my crocheting. I love choosing colours and thinking of different colourful bags!
Have a colourful weekend.
Red xx
I love playing with colour in general too. And I completely get what you say about choosing colours and thinking of colourful bags :D
DeleteI do this too! A colleague of mine once decorated a Birthday cake with smarties, she made a tiger face out of them, it was amazing your post just reminded me of it :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I actually was more ambitious before I started, wanted to make some big famous piece of art like the mona lisa or something. but then I quickly realised I would need a lot more to accomplish that. Super fun idea for a cake though :)
DeleteHaha I always want to do this but the candy tell me to eat it too xD Love the rainbow one!
ReplyDeleteI know right? And during the process I was telling myself "no, you are gonna regret that, you will need one extra of that colour in the end" And then still ate them :p
Deletebrilliant!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's been a while since I last eat Smarties, you make them look very appealing though!
ReplyDeleteMe too, the last time was probably when I made a ginger bread house and decorated the roof top with smarties :D
DeleteAre these called smarties where you live? They look like the Skittles we have here. Our Smarties are kind of powdery flat candies with dents (for lack of a better word) on both sides. I learned something new! Woohoo! : ]
ReplyDeleteAnd I love all your pictures. I am definitely only the eat-them-all-up-right-now kind of person. I'm glad there are creative people like you in the world who think to take pictures with al sorts of things like candy : ]
In Canada, and I'm guessing in Europe, smarties are candy coated chocolates like M&Ms! The powdery smarties that I've had in the states, we call Rockets. Weird, huh?
DeleteThanks for explaining Katherine, I didn't know the states has smarties that are not smarties :p But the way I know them, they are indeed the candy coated chocolates. These are mini though, normally they are slightly bigger. that's probably why they are a bit less flat and look somewhat like skittles.
DeleteSmartie art?!!! You are genius, but how could you eat your masterpiece? lol!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for the internet high five on my yarn bomb... here it comes back at ya... *clap* :)
Yay! Great way to start the day haha. And some masterpieces are better eaten I guess than hanging in a museum :p
Deletelol.. cute.
ReplyDeleteFun! And well, rainbow never lasts long.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, kids are great excuse to buy smarties. ;)
my smarties do not look quite like that....
ReplyDelete@ Hena: thanks :)
ReplyDelete@ Mariana: That's true. Whaha guilty as charged? :p
@ shakti: does that has something to do with the discussion on smarties and rockets earlier in the comments?
