Kaleidoscope Sticker Mosaics: Wild Creatures by Hinkler Books
My rating: 3/5 cats
WELCOME TO FEBRUARY PROJECT BOOK ONE
FEBRUARY PROJECT BOOK ONE IS COMPLETE! FEBRUARY PROJECT BOOK TWO CAN BE FOUND HERE: BOOK TWO
this book only has 15 projects in it, so i am going to have to do TWO different sticker mosaic books to fill up the month. i am okay with that. onward!
FEBRUARY 1
i’ve never done one of these books before, so i don’t know what’s normal. the stickers seem slightly smaller than the places they’re supposed to go, and they aren’t as sticky as anyone would like, but i think it will be a fun project. famous last words? we’ll see.
FEBRUARY 2
oh my god. i am NOT going to survive another project that’s 87% bird. please gimmie some mammals, book. please…
FEBRUARY 3
RRRAAAAARRRR I AM HERE TO EAT ALL THE BIRDS!!
FEBRUARY 4
why does every animal-themed book i choose for these projects end up being a parade of birds? this book promised “wild creatures,” not “wing’ed demon creatures.” not cool, book. not cool at all.
FEBRUARY 5
ugh, you see how bad these stickers are at sticking? you had one job!! they’re all curled up and wonky. the picture-taking process has become a sort of variation on whack-a-mole (although no moles yet), where i pound or press all the rogue sticker edges down with one hand while positioning the camera with the other and then it’s a race against time. i lost this one.
FEBRUARY 6
I GIVE UP. YOU WIN, BIRDS!
FEBRUARY 7
this animal is basically an airbnb for birds. i’m not fooled.
FEBRUARY 8
this is the same thing as that other book! even the ones that aren’t birds are bird-adjacent. more fur, fewer wings!
FEBRUARY 9
this one’s for you, greg!! i promise it is not a bird!
FEBRUARY 10
whaddya think, you guys, is this one a bird? it’s so hard to predict!
View Spoiler »
i don’t think that one could fly even if it wanted to! far too ungainly. so it’s either a) related to the emu or b) not a bird. further research will be required.
FEBRUARY 11
NOT EVEN GOING TO SPOILERTAG THIS ONE BECAUSE A RED PANDA IS A THING TO CELEBRATE LOUDLY IN THE STREETS LIKE THIS LALALLALLAAAAA
THE END.
only the end of feb 11 – there are still four more pages of book to go. will there be birds?
FEBRUARY 12
not birds! but also not mammals, so not anything i wanna cuddle with. plus, the stickers for this one were super-duper tiny, and again – they got started without me. rude, book.
FEBRUARY 13
i don’t know why i keep putting these finished products behind spoiler-tags. you guys know this is an elephant.
FEBRUARY 14
it’s valentine’s day, sean of the house’s birthday and ash wednesday all at once! what a thing to celebrate! and yet, today doesn’t feel very festive. it is a shitty week and not even kitty stickers can save it.
FEBRUARY 15
i forgot to post this yesterday, probably because i was so stunned that we were finishing off the book with yet another bird. and right now, no lie, there’s a tiny bird hopping around on my fire escape in what can only be a dance of victory. you win this round, bird. off to book two of this month’s project which can be found here.
