At first, I thought, from the outline that the snowman was wearing a hat, but though I tried to cut several out they never seemed to fit or sit well on his head, so I gave up and gave him a self adhesive Santa hat (from Yellowmoon). I then gave him a scarf using scraps of paper and that seemed to work OK ……..
…….But trying to get a cute snowman face was a nightmare. I used a fimo carrot nose (moulded and then baked) because I thought it would add character and extra dimension, but no mater where I put his eyes and mouth he always looked decidedly dodgy. I really thought I was losing the plot, then I looked again, what I thought was the rim on his bobble hat were ears, and I am sorry, snowmen DON’T have ears!!! I was trying to create a snowman face, but what I was actually seeing was a cartoon “human” face …… and, what made it worse, when I really looked, was the ears weren’t even level …..
So, this snowman is destined for the bottom of a box, to remind me, whenever I happen upon him, to look carefully an snowman blanks ……because, for me at least, snowmen don’t have ears!!!! ……
One way to remedy the "ears" is to give him a fuzzy pair of earmuffs - maybe in a color to coordinate with his scarf. He's still pretty cute, though, ears and all.
ReplyDeleteSnowmen do not have ears - I agree with you there.
ReplyDeleteHow strange that the makers thought they should have ears.

Hmmmmm, if it was me I would sand the snowman's ears off, or cut them off with a knive and then sand the area. Do it quicly he will not feel it!
