For this project, I made a duck beanie baby toy. When I was a child, I had a stuffed animal duck that I loved and wouldn't go anywhere without. One day, I left it in an airport and never saw it again. I was upset, but always remembered how much I loved that toy. Instead of just doing a stuffed animal, I decided to make it a small beanie baby. For the body, I used an old bottle and filled it with curled up orange and yellow paper. I made the head and feet from cotton balls and painted them orange, yellow and gold. The arms, mouth and beanie baby tag were made of cardstock paper. For the eyes I used matching bottle caps. I transformed what was once a small bottle into a child's toy made from recyclable materials. Unfortunately, my camera broke during the process of making this so there isn't as much documentation as I would have liked.
Good documentation of the process. Excellent use of materials, color, textures... everyone loved your strange duck!
ReplyDeleteNow looking at it again, it makes me think of the Ugly Duck tale.. who knows.. it may turn into a swan one day... you should keep an eye on it!
You have produced very creative, unique and interesting work all along the semester. Every single piece you have made is worth it to be included in your portfolio.
