The Floods:arty and crafty stuff




Hey Everyone!

Ok this is two more creative things I did for The Floods book.

First is 4 different types of spooky cup-cakes:
(in clockwise order from top left:blood-bomb cakes,hairy cakes, rat tail cakes and mouse ear, crystallised cockroach wings in slime cakes)











I wrote about each in my english book than interpreted what I said for the decorations(eg.the blood-bombs are coloured red -inside and out- and have a lump of jam in the middle)





Next one first needs a bit of explaining. In the flood book #1, the floods had to get rid of their really annoying neighbours, the Dents. Most of them they turned into useful things like fridges and TVs. Today I had to do a quick sketch of each of the Dents then draw what they had become. Next I had to choose one of them and draw it on my wacom. I chose Rambo, the dog, who was black and large and got changed into a sweet little poodle and given to the nice neighbours on the other side of the Floods.







You will probably need to click on that one to see the dogs better.

The Floods:arty and crafty stuff

Hey all!

First I better explain about The Floods books(#1 is my english text at the moment). The Floods is a family of wizards and witches. It is a really-funny-but-a-bit-gross book. Here is the link to the floods part on the authors website: http://www.colinthompson.com/floods/index.htm


So anyway, one of the things I got to do was decorate a bit of the house spooky. I made spiders and things out of pompoms, goggle eyes,hot glue and other things like that. The gate (pic. #3) is a gate that the floods made to try and deter people from entering. I made my replica mostly out of cardboard and paint.
