Last week I finally got round to saying goodbye to the 500 gingerbread men from the project I did earlier in the year for uni.

I have just over 500 gingerbread men lying around in my bedroom and I dunno what to do with them. Any ideas?

This is my final display of the 500 gingerbread men. It’s very plain, i’m not a fan to be honest. I think they looked that good on the stairs that anything else would have been crap. 

Got another leather carving on the go, so will put some work in progress shots up in the next few days.

Today I went to the Infant’s School in Drayton to give a talk on my work and I was absolutely brickin’ it. However all the kids were interested in what I had to say and they were all well up for decorating gingerbread men to help out with my project. So now i’m well on the way to my goal of 500. It was a really enjoyable afternoon, although there were a few tears when they realised they couldn’t eat the gingerbread…

Study of how I could potentially display the gingerbread army. 4 weeks ‘til the end of the project!

Here’s a selection of the gingerbread men i’ve had decorated so far. 

200 Gingerbread men.

I’ve now made over 500 gingerbread men for my project. I’m getting loads of people to decorate a gingerbread man each

So I have a hell of a lot of gingerbread in my room, the next step is getting the other 400 decorated and then figure out some way of displaying them all.
