Right now I am working on my newest project for my Structural Enrichment II class. We first had to create a mad libs for a creature that we are making. My mad libs is a follows:
Who am I?
Some would say that I have very gargantuan (size) fangs (features). I think that they only think that because my movements are clumsy (movement). The outside texture of my body hairy (texture) which leads some creatures to believe that I am stressed (personality), maybe it’s true. People think I taste like chicken because of my fuscia (color) skin but I am more of a creamy (taste) consistency. I have 6 (number) fangs (features) and ¾ of a claw (feature).
The assignment is: The above mad libs is giving you hints to your creature’s looks and personality. It is your job to breath life into this creature. I want you to create a creature with lots of personality. It could be a stuffed animal or a hand puppet. It is important that you capture all of the creatures traits listed above. Please feel free to add any attributes to your creature that you think are important. As always think about rich interesting textures and color combinations. This project has wonderful possibilities for working with movement and I encourage you to do so. Keep in mind that this is a three-dimensional work so all sides need to be finished and contribute to the success of the piece. This is a fantastic project to make your own embellishments!! Have fun.
Right now I am still trying to decide if I should make a puppet or a stuffed animal. My professor wants me to make a puppet to emphasize the fangs but I am having trouble figuring out how to actually construct a puppet. For some reason my mind doesn’t understand the construction of puppets. When I am finished with the project I’ll try to post a picture of it on my blog. We will also receive 15 extra credit points if we make our creature into a food to share with the class (the class consists of 7 students).

That is a crazy assignment! sounds kinda fun! Your monster seems pretty scary. I loved doing mad libs when I was a kid....good times.
I've gotta say that this does sound like a pretty sweet assignment. Not that I'm a huge aficionado of textile and apparel design, but it seems like a nice break from the ordinary. I'm sure everyone's creature will look rather different too. I remember mad libs as a kid. They are rather entertaining and humorous. I'm actually a little disappointed that I haven't done one in a while. Maybe this weekend.
I want to take the classes you're taking. Except I'm not at all creative or artistic. But it seriously sounds awesome.
mad libs are amazing. there should really be a mad libs english class.
