Party Rings Set of 5 Recycled Felt Food Sculptures
A fun biscuit from my childhood!
The party ring was introduced in 1983. It is a circular biscuit with a central finger-sized hole, covered in hard coloured icing with "wiggly" lines in a different colour. The five colour combinations are:
* Peachy orange icing with white lines
* Pink icing with white lines
* Pink icing with yellow lines
* Purple icing with yellow lines
* Yellow icing with pink lines
We loved the bright colours, the hard crisp icing shell and the holes! We used to wear them as rings and eat them off our fingers as well as holding "ring races". These involved each child taking five rings and placing one on each finger of a hand. They would then proceed to eat them as fast as possible, with the inevitable danger of biting a finger a bit too hard. I used to also try to eat along the lines along the base...but then I was, indeed, a strange child...
In the late 1990s Fox's decided to remove the purple and yellow biscuit because the dyes used had been linked to certain health problems. But due to public (and particularly university society...we were all by that stage grown up but with long memories) outcry, they reinstated them using safe dyes and the party finger family was once again complete!
Made from felt and stuffed with polyfil. Completely hand sewn and stuffed.
This listing is for 5 party rings: 1 peachy orange one with white squiqqles, 1 pink one with white squiqqles, 1 pink one with yellow squiqqles, 1 purple one with yellow squiqqles and 1 yellow one with pink squiqqles,.
Please note that as each biscuit is hand cut and sewn, the squiggles, base embroidery and hole may very slightly in each piece.
