Xylitol sugar crystals: The wondrous Landscapes of Planet Xy

Planet Xy landscapes with visitors

The wondrous landscapes of Planet Xy, the imaginary world created by Xylitol sugar crystals, were formed when I added blue food coloring to the xylitol solution. These landscapes just called for visitors, and I could not resist! I used the GIMP software to “photoshop” the figures into the landscapes.
