Take This Crow and Stuff It

So last week, my office did this decorate-a-scarecrow thing, and, in a fit of team spirit, I convinced my magazine group to decorate one. We brainstormed ideas and came up with creating a crow, dressed as a scarecrow. Witty, right? One of the art directors in our group teamed up with her husband to make this AMAZING crow head from a piece of styrofoam and who knows what else, and the other art director made these really cool legs and feet out of parts she gathered at the hardware store. We cut, we crafted, we hot-glued feathers, and we thought our creation was pretty cool.

Unfortunately, below is the winning entry. It was a 7-foot-tall robot that's head turned in the wind. It was pretty impressive. Though, in retrospect, it really had nothing to do with being a scarecrow.

We had fun, anyway. And I SO want a hot-glue gun now.
