After completing the same paint design on Angie’s left side, it was time to experiment with the water base colors we used at the “Dino Fest” Events. For the activity at the Museum, we used 7 different colors. This project 6 colors were used; the green was left out. I wasn’t concerned about the colors running or dripping. When they are washed off there will be a light impression of these colors to provide a nice accent. That’s the plan anyway. We will let these colors bleach in for a couple of weeks hopefully that’s enough time.
Now that Jurassic World: Dominion has been out for a while; I’m looking forward to seeing it at an off time without the crowds. No spoilers. I enjoyed the Prehistoric Planet series on Apple TV+ and look forward to watching it again.

I used watercolors to make Dinosaur Designs on my N95 Masks (New Ones above). I couldn’t get a yes or no from 3M regarding any impact this might have to the effectiveness of the mask. Many Museums sell Dinosaur Themed Masks Check them Out!
