rock candy on Christmas light

Today I got the lights covered with candy. I thought I was going to use gum drops from the stash of candy I got from Kathryn but it didn’t look like I had enough and they are hard and difficult to work. So I experimented with other candy and decided to use crushed up rock candy. It is good because it transmits the light well. It kind of adds some sparkle in the way it diffracts the light. It took over four hours to get the lights done so that is all I got done today.
