Adopt-a-Yan V.3 ~ With bells on and other festive stuff!
 

Luffs to my not-husband for the event banner <3

It's that most wonderful time of the year, so they say! What better way to fill your life with cheer than to get a little bundle of joy all of your own? No mangers or wise men required here, just some minimal crafting skills.


Your task this event is to create a Baby Yan decoration! You can hang him on your tree, from your rearview mirror, you could fill him with lavender and put him in your knicker drawer (he'd like that), you can string him up anywhere you like! But you've gotta make him first!

Want to give it a go? Let's get to it then!

There's not much to it, trying to keep things as simple as possible. Just stick to the few rules and go for it!

http://www.menewsha.com/img/24237/af...3ff5cdd9b1.gif Make a thread for yourself in the Workrooms Subforum.


http://www.menewsha.com/img/24237/af...3ff5cdd9b1.gif Yan's body needs be between 2 and 4 inches long (that's 5 and 10cm for you youngun's and non-Imperial people :P). His legs DO NOT COUNT, but he still needs some, none-the-less!

http://www.menewsha.com/img/24237/af...3ff5cdd9b1.gif He needs to be 3D. Yan can't be flat, no just cutting him out of a piece of paper or cardboard and calling it good, don't be lazy now.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/24237/af...3ff5cdd9b1.gif You can't make him from a pre-formed decoration! By this I mean; no getting a snowman dec and drawing a Yan face on it. I'll be very :illgetu: at you if you do something like this.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/24237/af...3ff5cdd9b1.gif He needs to be able to hang up, and not by stringing thread around his neck, either! Do it neatly :yes:

http://www.menewsha.com/img/24237/af...3ff5cdd9b1.gif Make an effort :yes: I'll not give out Yans to someone who's half-arsed their entry by just throwing something together (cos I'm mean like that =O)
Afterall, this is all about proving you're a worthy parent, isn't it.

http://www.menewsha.com/img/24237/af...3ff5cdd9b1.gif BE CREATIVE! Let your imagination run wild, it's what this is all about!

Can I enter if I already have a Yan?

Yes you can!

Can Yan be digital?

No, he can't. He needs to be real.

Does his head count in the body measurement?

Yes it does.

... String around his neck. xD

Well, I, er... :ninja:

Hmm, this is tempting. I need inspiration though!

Oh I'm excited! I'll finally get myself a Yan...hopefully....

I can't wait to see what my family says when they realize that there's a Yan hanging on our tree. Hopefully I'll get one up there by tomorrow. :lol:

I hope so too! :D

I'mma give this a go! :3

I've wanted a baby Yan for sooo long! *really tries to make him* :)

Give it a go, Maria :D

I go I go! lol XD

Poo you ruined my string around the neck idea...

O.o btw jelly has a "not-husband"? What is that? XD

--

Is it possible to have my artistic wife help me if she's not making a Yan? o.o or do I have to fail by myself?

if i could do this.. i'd so do it 'nods'

Howdy is my not-husband :ninja:

I think a joint effort from the two perspective parents would be acceptable, yes :D

I'm going to crochet him <3

----------

With a little scarf <3

:lol: okay then... now all I need to do is bribe her with fruit and candy and hope she'll help me... XD

Goodluck everyone!!!

Hi Jelly, Can we enter this contest if we already have a yan? (purchased - not won from another event).

Yup, you can :yes:

They say good things come in threes?

Lol I'm going for it.
