Miniature Christmas Ornaminks
 

A Holiday project the kids and I are working on.

We bought 4 $7 mini trees, and about $40 worth of Fimo/Sculpey/cheap brand bake hard modeling clay. (you bake it on 230 degrees for 20 minutes to set it)

it's fun....

here's an hour or so worth of candy canes:

better shot of the Elephant, and the piggy:

pigs tail, and santa

the boy made a squad of ginger bread men, and some tasty beverages for them if they get thirsty:

he also made a blue bird and a cardinal:

plus an owl and an elf:

the girl made a chocolate squirrel and a baby bottle:

and dad made these:

such a crafty family! Nicely done!

Everyone gets their own tree. Sounds like a fun project, it's also interesting to see what people feel is a good decoration for their tree.

yeah.

Are those last things cigars, penii or baby carrots??

I like the elf, and the bell, and the tree shaped ones.

Great job! That is some talented art projects. I am impressed. I don't think you can ever do enough of that kind of stuff with your kids.

Bacon worms! :yum:

Verry cool !!

I thought the middle one was Mr Hankey?

Great Project. I like the Wol.

Oh man, the pig is my favorite by far. Look at that expression!

I love these, Jim! What a fun project. I might have to do that with my family, actually. Great idea!

it's totally fun. I wish I had more time in my life. I spent 3 hours doing it one night by myself!

I might do some tonight. gimme ideas?

How about cartoon characters. I have some mini Simpson's ornaments. They're fun,or vehicles,( yeah, after working with them all day, NOT :P) or some musicians.

This thread makes me wish I could do parenting all over again, or borrow some kids.

great project jim

Sky, I think someone should start a "Rent-A-Kid" franchise business.
There's a store-front in Oregon City with that sign in the window, but it's only open on weekends.
The kids do yard work or whatever.

On school holidays, there's a 10 yr old boy that loves baseball.
He bats tennis balls for my Lab, Vicky, and she retrieves the balls so he doesn't have to chase them.

A great pairing of insatiable needs...

Cool stuff! I am trying to figure out what brand those tasty beverages are...Pilsner Urquell maybe?

D'oh!

I think this sounds awesome lamp. :thumb:

...but for myself
If I could just hold a baby for 20 minutes then hand it back, I'll be fine. :)

Sounds like what nightmares are made of, or a good idea for a twilight zone rerun. :)

You should do a cellar Christmas tree. Make figurines of all the dwellars.

dragonflies and peacocks, cock.

no, wait, do dwellars!

Those are phenomenal! You, sir, are a man of many talents, and have provided 50% of the contribution toward talented children.

Grapes, Bouquet, Planets

My Great White Sharks, Orca, and Sperm Whale:

And one for UT:

It's excellence. Except we now have a copy of your fingerprints. :D

You could put little magnets in them, and stick them to metal objects when the holidays are over.

spencer's pilot whale, The Grinch, and a little dog (might do antlers for him

octopus turkey and stewie

cookie monster.... spencer made a 'cane' of these smilie faces, and the spider web

really cool!!!

Venus is really detailed, I like it.

These are totally awesome! Is this clay pre-colored or are you 'dyeing' it?

Those ornaments are really nice. Your kids are really lucky to have you doing stuffs with them. I feel guilty for not putting out enough time to do projects with my nephew. :sniff: I promised that we'll build a fan powered car and I never made time for it. He finally stopped asking. :(

Hey you found Nemo.

The clay comes in a million colors, but we bought mainly primary colors and do a lot of blending to get what we need.

I made a cock, but have not yet uploaded it.

we had whales, now we need whale........

there will be no whalepenis ornaments. this is a family event.

I'll try to get the rest of the pics up tonight. I think we have enough to start decorating the trees now. I got some store bought mini ornaments too... bells and balls and little garlands.... I'm torn on putting lights on them..... i guess I need to decide that before I start decorating them though....

Yes to the lights!

Awesome! :D

Ippy's Elmo, Spencer's Aeroplane(ala The Wall), and Daddy's Pie

cock and ball?

campfire, and more cock

spencer's guitar...and then his fast food value meal
(which won the day), and a non fimo glass ball I painted....

OK, who loves the cock?

Nice cock!

Two words you don't want to hear in the men's room

The c c ..rooster is wonderful.

The value meal is amazingly done too.

I was questioning what the campfire was until I saw the caption. lol

..and is that painted glass? I love that stuff.


Or have someone be looking over your shoulder at your comment. I am cracking up right now.

I want the value meal!!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, number 1 in the hood G.

Spencer's dog looks like Santa's Little Helper.

Cool glass ball you got there, Jim. Goes nicely with the Cock.

Have you tried reverse painting yet?

hard to get the brush inside there. the white is on the inside, but i couldn't reach any higher, so the blue is outside. as are the trees.

Where is the Whale Penis? Really, come on man, where is it?

Is he playing hide the pickle with the whale penis again?

chooooo chooooooo!
