After having been bombarded by one blizzard after another & a 3rd, although smaller one on the way, some times cabin fever just gets the best of even adults.
I was showing my teenager some photos online of re-creations of snowmen made by Calvin & Hobbes fans, which happened to spark a bit of genius on his part. At first, we were going to create our own 2-headed snow monster. And as we set out to do so, when we finally reached the poin where the head & face was under construction, my son's artisitic "genuis" came up with a very different idea. Having used a piece of red plastic for the nose & carving out "fiery burning holes" for the eyes, adding an old pair of plastic vampire fangs brought this unusual creation to life. But there was one little thing missing - blood!
What to do, what to use, on the spur of the moment. AHA! Wilton's Concentrated Red Food Coloring. made great red fiery eyes & blood dripping from the vampire fangs! But one small lesson to be learned. Never, ever again use Wilton's Concentrated Red Food Coloring without first using a pair of disposable or old household rubber gloves to protect one's hands.
By the way - the snow vampire does look very scary!
