Max (Maximillian) & Dominic enjoy the T-Rex hatchling skeletons. Dominic loves my Wizard Staff. But It’s too large for Max and Jeffrey’s Raptor Staff is too small. Max needs a Staff that’s Just Right! That sounds like a familiar Story. Let’s make some Wizard Staffs. The root base from Madera’s Pride makes an excellent…
Halloween & Dinosaurs
We’re getting out the Halloween Decorations. I think the Stores started in August. If you haven’t picked up your decorations you had better hurry before they disappear and are replaced by Christmas ideas. Last year it was rather strange for me to see Halloween and Christmas decorations right next to each other! I guess that…
Raptors & “Dino Fest”
Xavier gets clear coating and Brison has the remainder of the Hammered Verde Green accents painted over. Brison will require a couple of coats to completely cover the prior accents. Xavier starts on his side to make it easier to cover all the underside areas. After a few hours curing, he returns upright to finish…

See Brison & Xavier below on just bark. During Rainy weather the…

The Prehistoric Pals Love the U.S.P.S.
The Postal Carriers across America have been making sure we receive are Medical Supplies, Packages, Important Letters and Special Greetings from Friends & Family. We thought Our Postal Carrier deserved an overdue Thank You for her support during these difficult times. So, We decided to make a Special Thank You Card. First, a rough sketch…
The Clever Girl receives more Highlights
After painting over the first orange & yellow accents, I made some sketches of Clever Girl then finished in watercolors to assist with the hopefully final Real Orange Accents. In place of gold a light yellow watercolor was a useful substitute. Using the Gloss Real Orange new accents were added to the head trailing the…
