Title: My piggy bank
Post by: alongwaltz on 29 Apr 2007, 13:13

My friend made me a jar of confetti stars so I promised I'd make her something in return.  I found a good arts & crafts site for children, so I figured I could handle most of the projects on there.

Papier macher, tissue paper, pipe cleaners, construction paper, and googly eyes later and I am done.

Thats cool...

Though the Pig looks like he's scared as hell, are you sure you are putting the coins through his back and not the other entrance? :laugh:

That's actually pretty sweet. I remember making stuff like that when I was a kid. Are you gonna give him a mouth?

I did give him a mouth!

He sat on my desk for a few days before my realising that he needed one.  I'm not happy with his current one but it's alright.  It makes him look nervous and weird.  Which is unusual for a piggy bank so maybe it's a good thing.

I wanna see a picture of his newly acquired mouth!

I think a mouth where that makes him look nervous and weird is perfect, since he always kinda looked scared.

Like I said, I'm not happy with it.

It started as just a curved line but it made him look sad.  So I turned it into a mouth.  But it's far too small and off-center.

I think it makes him even cuter. And he's pretty damn cute.
