Welcome back to another installation of the Knick Knack series!
It's absolutely imperative that y'all go to your local arts and craft store and peruse their paper mache offerings. I just about sat on the floor in shock when I found these darling little creatures at my local Michael's. The poison apple was $2 and the moo-cow was just under $3. Sounds just right for my budget!
I'm totally on a ceramic-animal kick these days. I technically started buying ceramic animals (like the yellow owl and flying pig in my home office) BEFORE they became trendy, but alas, I still haven't gotten over them -- they are just too whimsical and fun. I'll admit, I also really want some sort of faux animal head to hang on a wall, but am determined to get it for a steal of a price. I told Brian I would even be willing to be-head a child's animal toy and paper mache it myself if it was the right genus, species, and dimension. He said that was freaky and gave me one of those I-completely-disapprove-of-this-but-I-also-think-it's-brilliantly-funny-so-I'm-going-to-steal-your-idea-and-share-it-with-others-when-you're-not-around-and-totally-play-it-off-like-it-was-MY-idea kind of looks. Yep, he gave me one of those looks. So, just remember, you heard it HERE first.
So, uh, yeah....back to the moo-cow.
Moo.
All this bossy bovine needed was a few coats of glossy white paint, and now she's a glamorous diva, bringing haute cow-ture style to a shelf near you (yep, I just said "cow-ture").
Cheers!
P.S. I'm linking up here:

What a difference! :-) I love what a fresh coat of paint can do! Such a cute decor piece. Thanks for linking up and sharing this post!
