Twelve Days of Christmas Domo

Contrary to popular belief, Christmastide, which is celebrated by the familiar carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas" begins on the day after Christmas, or Boxing Day, if you're not American. It concludes on January 6th, Twelfth Night, which apparently isn't just a Shakespeare play, but marks the beginning of Epiphany. The carol proved to be great inspiration for a daily photography project: The Twelve Days of Christmas Domo. I had a lot of fun with this project, especially figuring out how to fit the theme of each day when I didn't readily have supplies, such as turtle doves or pipes.



On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a Domo in a Christmas tree!

Disco said he can't get his glitz wet or he'll rust. No one's really convinced, but he's allowed the HMS Hippo just in case.


On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me eight Domos-a-milking.

Well, more like praising a glass of chocolate milk, but you get the idea. And of course chocolate milk. That's the only milk Domos will drink.


On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me nine Domos-a-dancing.

Everyone was so excited to dress up for the Domo Formal. Hawaii Five-Domo said his date was going to be late, but no one really believes him. Disco and Grimace treat everyone to a traditional Candy Cane Dance to bring peace and good luck to the new year.


On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me ten Domos-a-leaping...?

"C'mon guys, leap!"

All: "We ARE leaping!"

No, your feet can't be touching the tub. You need to get lift, get into the air.

All: "We ARE lady!"

Hawaii to Disco: "We're leaping...right?"

Disco: "It feels like it!"

(Bonus points for finding Adalind.)


On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me eleven Domos-a-piping.

Wait...piping, you guys are supposed to be piping! I thought we went over this yesterday!

Pink Mama Domo: We're cleaning pipes... with pipe cleaners. Thus piping.

Final day! I just happened to be going to my friend's house on Twelfth Night and he's a drummer! So that's why I packed everyone in and off we went.

A Domo a Day

For 2012, I've decided to do a Project 365. This is A Domo a Day, where I take a picture of one of my Domos each day. There aren't any rules and no specified camera - I can use my iPhone or Charlie (DSLR) as long as it's a photo of a Domo each day. I made a special tumblr to keep track of them all, and will be keeping track on Flickr as well as the page above. It'll have the links to everything, the monthly mosaics, and a Flickr widget, if I can find one. I won't be posting a picture a day here, but will make a monthly review mosaic and post it.

Since it's the 15th (technically, it's 2 AM) I'll post the past 14 so we're all caught up.

A Domo's Guide to Making Cupcakes

Starman Domo and Snowflake Domo would like to show you how to make cupcakes. 

Starman Domo and Snowflake Domo would like to show you how to make cupcakes.

Domo sized grapes! 

Snowflake Domo: This is a big grape! 
Starman Domo: Indeed, but I don't think we can put it in the cupcakes...can we? 
Snowflake Domo: Probably not. It's too big!

"I'll get the oil." 

"I'll get the oil."

"I'll get the water!" 

"I'll get the water!"

"Next, we set the oven for 350 degrees." 

"Next we set the oven for 350 degrees. That's Domo Melting Temperature, so be careful."

"We have to attach the beater thingy to the big mixer." 

"We have to attach the beater thingy to the big mixer."

Eggs! 

Domos like things that are their size.

Our little secret 

Snowflake Domo: "This is our little secret to make box cupcake mix not taste so boxy. A little bit of vanilla extract always helps baked goods." 
Starman Domo off camera: *snickers* "can we call you Martha Stewart Domo?!"

Hello!


"These cups are rather large, Snowflake Domo." 

"These cups are rather large, Snowflake Domo."

"I agree. I thought these were Domo sized?" 

"I agree, Starman. I thought these would be Domo sized?"

"These are BIG." 

"These are BIG."

"Can we use these?!" 

Starman Domo: "Can we use these?!" 
Snowflake Domo: "But it's not Halloween!" 
Starman Domo: "What? So! Look at these little spears!" 
And then Starman Domo proceeded to chase Snowflake Domo round the counter with little spears with happy pumpkins.

"Much better." 

Starman Domo: "I like these much better." 
Snowflake Domo: "ay gov'na."

"Party time!" 

"It's party time! These are much more fun than beer bottle caps."

"Oy, I got me a top hat gov'na!" 

"Oy, I got me a top hat gov'na! Oy, tall lady! Can we send um to me mates 'cross the pond?"

Yay, filled muffin cups! 

Yay, filled muffin cups!

"Can we use these now?" 

"Can we use these now?"

"Is it spear time yet?" 

"Is it spear time yet?"

"I know we need these to make sure they're cooked! You can't try to tell me otherwise! I READ IT!" 

"I know we need these to make sure they're cooked! You can't try to tell me otherwise! I READ IT!"

Waiting is SO HARD.

Waiting for cupcakes is so HARD and takes so LONG.

Yay, cupcakes! 

"Yay cupcakes!"
