If you read the title of this post (inevitably you did), then you probably will have noticed that instead of "collections", I put down "coollections". What are coolections? Well, in this post you will learn the answer to that question. Also, to view the photos for this post, you'll need to go to my Photo Album. The folder you're looking for is called "Coolections and Clay" and throughout this post I have listed names for photos at certain points. To see the photo at that certain point, look for its name in the Photo Album. To begin, let me fill you in on part of what I did yesterday and last night.

My little brother loves turtles. I mean, he really loves turtles. And he has this whole collection of turtles, ranging from stuffed turtles to turtles made of shells, from live turtles to turtles whose heads wiggle around a lot, and from turtle books to turtle blankets. This kid has a LOT of turtles. The pictures for this part are titled: Coollections and Clay 1, Coollections and Clay 2, and Coollections and Clay 3.

Something else that you need to know is that my brother used to have a really boring room that didn't match him at all, as it was original designed for a girl. So, with this in mind, my mom, brother, and I bought stuff for his room that would match the kid: turtle books, a sign that says "TURTLE CROSSING", a turtle bed spread and pillow case, a shelf to hold his turtle collection, and one other thing: green, light green, and brown Sculpey clay. Why the Sculpey? Well, this is where the "and Clay" part of this post's title comes in. I made my brother a turtle lamp pullchain out of clay and put it on his fan. Very cool. The picture for this part of this post's title is: Coolections and Clay 4. 

Okay, so now you're probably wondering why I posted about my brother's turtle collection. Well, the reason is this: his collection is so cool. That's why I call it a "coollection": a collection that is cool. Why is his particular collection (or coollection) cool? Because of it's range. As I said before his collection has a huge array of items, from stuffed turtles to turtles made of shells, from live turtles to turtles whose heads wiggle around a lot, and from turtle books to turtle blankets. Very big variety = very cool collection = coollection.

The second reason I posted on this is the clay. Clay is fun. There are lots of things that you can do with clay. For instance, you can make scenes with clay, you can make games with clay (for an example, follow this link), you can make movies with clay (Wallace and Grommit is a good example of claymation), you can make ornaments with clay, you can even make lamp pullchain things with clay. All you need is enough packets of the right colors of clay (unless you plan to paint your creation, but who wants to do that when you can buy died clay?), instructions, and an oven if you are using Sculpey (please do; it's so much easier that way). Anyway, lots of choices of projects and colors = very good With All Your Might project = FUN.

Until we meet again,
