02-11 Give a Little Head for Valentines Day

[LESS INFO] 6 VIEWS | ADDED 05:00:00 02/01/11
Hello people! Love is in the air - It's almost St. Valentines Day and I have some ideas for you. This week on the show I'm demonstrating a charming craft project - Topiary Heads! They make delightful gifts for your valentine and are such fun to put together. Here's how: You'll need: A paper mache flour pot Plaster of Paris An 8" diameter Styrofoam ball Raffia in black or brown An 18" wooden dowel Pink tint floral spray Craft paint in brown, red or pink and blue or violet Ribbon in pink and red Red and white heart shaped paper doilies Red metallic poster board Pink poster board Artificial flowers Pink or white netting or tulle Floral wire Tiny red pompons A glue gun and glue sticks Scotch tape Wire cutters A paint brush Scissors White glue Start by setting the dowel in the bottom of the flour pot so it stands upright with the plaster of Paris. Then you can create the head. Give the ball a light dusting of the floral spray, concentrating it a little more where you want the cheeks to be. Paint a face on the Styrofoam ball using the craft paint, then use the raffia to create an attractive hairstyle, pinning it to the ball using the floral wire. Use the ribbon to tie the hair into pony or pig tails, or as an attractive headband. Mount the head on the dowel. Next, create a bow for the neck by gathering up a length of tulle and holding it together with a length of floral wire. Leave the tails of the wire sticking up. Attach an artificial rose to the bow with wire or hot glue. Then insert the tails of wire up into the base of the ball to mount your bow at her neck. Now it's time to create the hat. Cut a large heart out of the metallic paper board. The heart should be larger than either of the doilies. Next create a truncated cone of pink paper board. Cut half inch deep tabs into the top edge of the cone and fold them down to create a surface to glue your heart to. Mount the heart on the cone and, once dry, you can glue your doilies, one on top of the other, down to the red heart. Mount a pouf of tulle with an artificial flower on top of the doilies using floral wire through all layers and leave the tails. Use the tails to mount the hat on the head by inserting them into the Styrofoam. Trim the dowel by winding ribbon around it spirally from top to bottom. Tape it to the dowel to secure it in place. Your finishing touch is to fill the flower pot with tulle and stud the tulle with the pompons using your hot glue gun. Congratulations! Your Valentines Day gift is complete! This week on my NPR podcast I'm discussing the perfect Valentines Day meal - A picnic on your living room floor! It's such a delightful way to celebrate with your valentine. Be sure and listen.

This week I'm featuring my recipe for brownie cookies. They're delightful cut into heart shapes and frosted with pink icing! That's all for this week. Be sure and join me next time!

Link http://www.roarnomore.com/2010/11/jujutsu-apologetics.html Other cool sites http://guitarharrisy.blogspot.com/ http://worshipguitarriffs.blogspot.com/ http://therisingseed.blogspot.com/ Statement: "All things are relative." Answer: "If all things are relative then so is your statement. In which case I have no reason to believe it." Statement: "All opinions are equally valid." Answer: "My opinion is that not all opinions are equally valid. Is my opinion valid. If it is, then the statement is false. If it's not, then the statement is still false." Statement: "Your truth is different than mine." Answer: "My truth is that your truth is wrong. Is my truth wrong?" (Usually with this type of objection making it real is important. Give an analogy such as, "If you jumped off a building and believed gravity wouldn't pull you toward the earth would you not hit the ground?") Statement: "Words can mean anything you want them to." Answer: "I want your words to mean, 'Words can mean nothing you want them to.' Is that what they mean?" Statement: "No truth is unchanging." Answer: "So the statement you just made is changing and may not be true tomorrow." Statement: "I only believe in science." Answer: "What experiment did you use to arrive at this statement?" Statement: "Apart from mathematical equations we can know nothing absolutely" Answer: "Where's your equation proving that statement to be true?" Statement: "All is one." Answer: "Who's making the statement, you or me?" (Eastern religions have no way to account for person-hood or differentiate between entities) Emotionalism (Usually tied in with Relativism) Statement: "I feel I'm right." Answer: "I feel I'm right. Does that make it right?" Statement: "What works for you doesn't work for me." Answer: "What works for me is doing morally reprehensible things to you. Does that work for you?" Statement: "There are no laws of logic" Answer: "Martians store ponies 3 dollars cackle feathers" (i.e. answer absurdity with absurdity) or "Did you use logic to arrive at that statement?" Statement: "We must all be skeptical of any truth claim." Answer: "I'm skeptical of your truth claim."
