PrintWaPo Peeps Diorama Contest
For Easter, the Washington Post decided to have some fun and so they held a Marshmallow Peeps Diorama Contest. They expected about a dozen or so entries and got over 350 from across the US and beyond!
The grand prize winner was freelance graphic artist and photographer Charles Johnston, who spent two weeks working on his Peeps Are A Girl's Best Friend (above); the WaPo staff was "rendered speechless by the diorama's meticulous craftsmanship -- from Marilyn Monroe's sculpted hairdo (made of clay), to her curve-hugging pink papier-mache dress (her rump is made of a whole Peep), to the fine details of the tuxedoed Peepmen, each made of 61 pieces (their toes are coat hangers bent into L shapes, taped onto a dowel and coated 15 times with liquid spackling compound)."
If you'd like to see more Peeps or are just looking for a totally fun way to kill your productivity, the Peep Show is a gallery of 22 of the staff's favorite entries from the contest. They're all pretty fantastic.
