Crafting Time Fever! Got it Bad, Meet the Witch- Gin or Witch-Penguin


 You maybe wondering what the heck is that??
Well its a Witch Penguin! yes that's right a Witch Penguin...
I took a 6 inch tall round paper mache' box and was going to make a witch for Halloween but my mistake turned out to be much better and by mistake; I mean the nose made out of oven bake clay.  I painted the box with various greens and a bit of black then added the facial features, eyes and cheeks using yellow, red and purple acrylic paints and the witch was really coming along.  Until I dabbled in the oven bake clay using green for the nose which is really more a beak than a nose and some feet.  I added some black cotton fabric for a hat and outfit on the Witch Penguin and hot glued the clothing onto the box then added a large black button which is also hot glued on.  I also added some hair using a white/blue wavy textured yarn.
When  the nose/beak finished baking I asked my hubby if it looked like a witch no.... with a sad face he stated "no it's a bird beak"! I thought dang nab it! no it's a witch nose! but as I glued the nose on; my son and husband asked again.... making a witch penguin? Looks like a green penguin dressed like a witch, my son stated.  Well that's when  I really began to take a better look....
yup! its a bird..
but what kind of bird I thought...
Then my husband piped up again and said made a Witch-gin!?
HUH??...
Yup that's a Witch-Penguin I said!
So here it is my first attempt at a .... well I think I have stated it enough for today and what the heck it turned out cute so I think I will stick it in the store and see how the bird does!
