Cap'n's Log 20 November 1713 Year of our Lord-


Another faily! Your Dear Cap'n startin' to think she's in the wrong business...The consolation is Effervescent Ethel was pleased with the results. Takes a young miss to put things in perspective. Cap'n Mad Ellen will retire to her quarters succoring a tired, small crafted out brain...


C.M.E.

Supplies:



-paint chip samples
-two toilet paper rolls (one for the body, one for the head)
-brown paint (or you can cover the toilet paper rolls with brown construction paper if you prefer)
-paint brush
-two buttons for the eyes
-glue
-scissors
-lots of tape  (To make that blasted head stay put! See photos.)

I used paint chip samples for the feathers, beak, wattle and chest. The "back end" was covered with a circle piece of brown construction paper. The feathers were arranged in a fan shape, stapled then glued onto the back end circle. I think one reason this didn't work out as well as I had planned was because I didn't cut the toilet paper roll for the head narrow enough for it to sit on top of the other toilet paper roll properly.

Cost: few copper pennies
