Cookie Monster Mug

Cookies and Milk anyone?!?!

I made this for my cousins boat "Cookie Monster". (Yes the family boat is named the Cookie Monster...lol) 

This was made by taking two slabs of clay about 1/4 in thick, 2 circular slabs about 1/4 in thick and a pulled handle about 7 in long.

First take the larger slab of clay and make a cylinder tube, join edges. Then take the circular slab and join this to one end of the circular tube (edges may be larger it is okay you can just  trim them at this time). Next you make the same width cylinder as the first one you made. Once the sides are joined you then join the second cylinder slab as you just did to the first one. Now take the smaller slab and join it to the bottom of the larger cylinder. Now take a butter knife and cut a rectangle about 3 1/2 inches wide. now you have a shelf to put cookies on.!!! Last step is to attach the handle to the left side of the cup (when looking at the cut hole). 

Then you get to fire and paint. This will work with any character design really. 

ENJOY!!!

swaps are coming and swaps are going!

today i found this journal

So I just posted a new swap on Swap-Bot for the Down The Rabbit Hole Group. 

There is two parts to this swap.

Part One: You will be altering a journal so that the journal is decorated in an Alice in Wonderland themed scene.

For example: You Could decorate the journal so it was a scene of the rabbit hole, the tea party, the rabbits house, the race to shore, garden of talking flowers, or the strange game of croquet are to name a few scenes. The decorations can include characters if you wish or can just be the setting. But the journal should be themed to Alice in Wonderland.

Once you are finished with the journal remember to wrap it up like a gift ( tissue and a ribbon or even nice string will do)

Part Two: You will write a letter to accompany your journal. This should be attached to the “gift”. The letter should include the following: ~ A description of your day or part of your day in detail through the eyes of your favorite character. ~ The location to where you found this journal ( this would be the place where your journal theme was made)

For Example: If I chose my character to be one of the playing cards I would describe how my day was going right before I was sent out into the garden to paint the roses red by the queen. I could say I found this beautiful journal on the base of the rose bush were I saw another worker working diligently. I could say that I was looking for a wonderful person to give this to.

Please feel free to view this swap on Swap-Bot here. 

Hey Make Sure You Read This Book

Altered Journal Swap

Another swap done! I love joining journal swaps on Swap-Bot. This took me a long time. I tend to strip books down to nothing and then rebind or use in alternative ways. Well I had a found a very old comp book that was only 30 pages. So i added more paper and rebound the book. Then I altered the journal. After a while of working on it its finally done and sent off to smmarrty. 

Below is the front and inside cover of the journal.
