Frugaldom, I love that you didn't just go for the King Penguin but chose one of the lesser known breeds like the Macaroni Penguin.

Anyone up for this? I'm going to do a cow for the Sealed Pot Challenge. Haven't done papier mache since I was about 9!
I'm going to make myself one (I normally use a pringle tube with a slot cut in the lid for my change pot) and if it's any good I'll make some for Christmas next year. Lots of my family made home-made crafts gifts this year and I felt a bit embarrassed that I hadn't bothered - so much nicer than bought prezzies. They'd made patchwork quilts, sock monkeys, other soft toys, and wooden family trees.
Actually, as well as the cow, I think I'll see what I can turn a pringles tube into with a bit of papier mache as well. They are so sturdy they'd make great bases for um, don't know what yet. Any ideas? Totem pole?
I never did get around to making the huge pig but guess what I have found while unpacking long-forgotten 'stuff'? My 3' balloons! Now I just need to work out how to blow them up and keep them in place... not only are they several years older, I am too! :rotfl:
