The Makings of 'Sugar Sugar' part 2

These are the materials I used to make Sugar Sugar.
One plastic garbage can. 
Roll of neon pink duct tape.
6 boxes of sugar cubes.
A cookie tin.
A 600 ml beaker.
White draw ties.
Two wooden dowels.
A foam tube.
A masonite board. 18''x24'' 

 6 Boxes of sugar cubes I used to create the giant sugar block. The sugar block is held together by a mixture of egg white and cream of tartar. The cream of tartar prevented the dissolving of the cubes as I stuck them together. 


 The 600 ml beaker used to collect the sugar water mixture to create the crystals.


 Could not resist the neon pink duct tape.. will be useful in future projects.
The white ties were to keep the tubing in place


This is the original plan on the masonite board. It evolved into different shapes as the project progressed and as it became more self supportive.


Next post will be the process and failures of building Sugar Sugar.
