It’s hard to believe that a week from today is November 1!
In the USA people are staring to think about Thanksgiving
Turkeys are the iconic symbol of Thanksgiving,
so today I’m sharing some turkey designs
that you can use to make place cards,
cards, and decorations for your table or home
This little turkey is easy to paint in just a few steps
After you paint the basic body with orange feathers,
add more feathers with red
Then add brown, a few black feathers, and paint his legs
Then give him a hat, a face and a red wattle
You can paint him on glasses, a pitcher, place cards, whatever you want
[Be sure to use curable paint for glass if painting on glass]
For the vase below,
I just painted his head and body on the vase
and then filled it with flowers for his “feathers”
I used an inexpensive glass vase
and painted a large brown circle for the turkey body
Then a pear shape for his neck and a oval shaped head
When the paint was dry he got a red wattle, eyes, beak, bird legs
And little feathers on his chest
You can also fill it with feathers or wheat
You can a paint a turkey on a wooden sign from the craft store
to hang on the wall or a door
Simple feathers with shapes of orange and yellow
A simple brown circle and pear shape for the body
and painted lines for legs and feet
A few swooshes for details and definition
A pilgrim hat and a wattle and this turkey is done!
It was just the right size to fit in the center of my fall wreath
It’s time to think turkey,
happy painting and…
Be Fearless!
