Project #101 - Anteater Cake Toppers

Usually there are two criteria that must be met for me to find a LOL-cats image to be funny:

It must feature an animal that is not a dog or cat. The more exotic the animal is the more I love it.
There must be gratuitous profanity.

I don't know. I think I've seen the picture above a hundred times and it still makes me chuckle.

Plus, anteaters are surprisingly cuddly. I never imagined that an anteater would be fuzzy, but they're adorable. I kind of want one as a pet. We could even team up and have our own natural extermination company. That would guarantee some wacky hijinks, which are better than plain hijinks which are kind of pathetic after a certain age. Man, now I need to go to the zoo this weekend and see if I can bribe the zoo keepers into letting me hold one. I am a bad pet owner, but I love weird animals!

I got the image from F*** You, Penguin and censored it a bit because I don't want my abuela to hit me. Abuelita, do not follow that link. Instead, please look at these tasteful dresses from Ann Taylor. Check out that muted color palette!

Okay, to continue, I had some polymer clay from my female cardinal. She will remain single for the time being, so I used it to make my anteater couple. Now, looking at the picture above and my figurines I'm realizing that they look more like long nosed tapirs than anteaters, but I'm just going to claim artistic license. Hmm, wait, I even know that the long part is a mouth and not a nose and I still screwed it up without thinking. Wow, I wasn't even drinking when I made these.
