Artist creates 6ft UK map from sweets

An artist has used more than 4,000 sweets to make a detailed map of the UK.

Each region of the UK uses the sweets which were most popular locally, such as liquorice in Scotland and jelly babies in the MIdlands.

Artist Paul Baker even used treats like liquorice allsorts and humbugs to make miniature models of landmarks like Stonehenge and the Angel of the North.

The two metre long map was commissioned by Taveners Proper Sweets and Paul says it took him several weeks to complete.

But I guess that is what happens when you work on a "one for the art, one for me" rule.
