I wanted to make a batch of Turkey Magnets for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. I felt inspired by a few school art projects I had as a kid that involved making turkeys for Thanksgiving (especially the one during my kindergarten year when I made my turkey out of a bag of rice and possibly cardstock paper), along with the “Disguise the Turkey” project I got to work on with my nephew when he was in kindergarten, to give the feathers of these Turkey Magnets a rainbow color scheme (I originally planned to just do the 6 basic rainbow colors, but I decided to use both my tropical blue and indigo blue pigment ink colors and go for the colors of a real rainbow). I based the designs of my fingerprint turkeys off of my Geometric Turkey drawing, but I actually included the red wattles as well and made the eyes more cartoony for the sake of being able to see them. I then wanted to use my biggest flat glass marbles I have, after selling all of my Colorful Lion Magnets, to put these Turkey Magnets together. The magnets overall were not as complex to make as I thought.
My Blue Turkey Magnet is currently out of stock, but I should have enough materials to make more magnets like this.If you would like a Blue Turkey Magnet like this one here, or if you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].
