What could be more fun than creating a turkey from clay, pinecones and feathers? This is a repeat project that never turns out the same but is always fun to make. We use the homemade clay and this time used a bit of funfoam for the beak, comb and used chenille stems for legs. Although turkey feathers are boring brown we didn't have those on hand so our turkeys are much more colorful. The turkey lower right turned into an owl. I think a lot of tables will have interesting decor for Thanksgiving.The Family Arts and Crafts group meets at the Wells Branch Community Library every Wednesday night at 6 pm taught by Dianne Koehler. The program lets us turn donated or recyclable materials and imagination into great projects. You may also want to take a look at the Art and crafts database the library recently subscribed to for the patrons. Check the library website for details.
