Blue Moon

A blue moon is a name given to an irregularly timed full moon. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but each calendar year contains those twelve full lunar cycles plus about eleven days to spare. The extra days accumulate, so that every two or three years there is an extra full moon (this happens every 2.72 years). Different definitions place the extra moon at different times - the extra moon is called a "blue moon".

Materials: brown art paper backgroud, hadn cast circular paper, beige leaf skeletons, hand cast paper face painted with acrylic paint, strip of alumium foil painted with acrylic. added a curving torn metalic blue paper at bottom and glued 3 dark blue skelaton leaves on the blue
