 Gale force winds off the Barbary Coast blew these leaves on board ship our ship the Ebony Oyster. The crew believe the leaves possess "magical prope'ties".

Fingerprint Turkey

Log entry 8 November 1712:

Greetings from the mizzenmast of the Ebony Oyster. Have arrived in port late last evening for provisions-namely: glue, paper products (card stock and similar) and fancy silk trim. Our rum  ribbon supply is dangerously low.

Signed, Paper Monkey



Need:

-paper
-ink pad in various colors
-googly eyes (or small buttons, beans, hole punch paper dots, etc. if you prefer)
-glue

Press your index finger into an ink pad color of your choice to make the turkey's feathers. For the turkey's main body we dipped a thumb in brown paint (didn't have brown ink).

Cut out a wattle, beak, caruncle and feet with scrap pieces of paper. Glue the pieces on the
turkey's main body.

Glue the eyes on the turkey and set the craft aside to dry flat.
