Description

Figure made from a turkey (or chicken) wishbone, fabrics for clothes, silly-putty for shoes and face, plastic (shell) beads for eyes and shoe decorations; wood for hair. By placing silly-putty at the three ends of the wishbone, someone made two shoes and a face. Beads were placed in the silly-putty and allowed to set as the putty hardened. A red fabric was draped over the bone to look like a dress. A floral fabric was draped over that to look like a shawl. Wool was placed on top of the bone to look like hair.
