gordon the gobbler, 1974

"let's talk turkey about gordon the gobbler --- the center of attention at your thanksgiving feast. you can make gordon in a jiffy and keep him on your table, mantle, or console year after year. gordon's body is a bright brown color and his foam head is accented with wigglie eyes. to make this gobbler a very proud bird, display gordon with a floral arrangement or gay wax candle."

this festive turkey centerpiece was created from an old reader's digest, a foam egg, chenille bumps, chenille stems, pair of 8mm moving eyes, madras tissue paper, brown spray paint, green felt, floral tape, and a foam block.
