The first step is to consider where you will place your Dinosaur. Do you have room in your yard? What are the weather conditions in your area that impact your property? Do you have a Homeowners Association? If so, check your CC&R’s and talk to your board members to avoid potential problems. Are there any local ordinances…
Night Lighting for your Dinosaur – Dinosaurs in the Spotlight
Once you have your Dinosaur properly placed in your yard, you may wish to provide night lighting. I found these Solar Rock Lights at Bed, Bath & Beyond three LED for $14.99 (set two small and one large rock). If you save your $5.00 off coupons that lowers the price to $9.99! If you find…
Entry Sentry
If you have the right spot, your Dinosaur can be a great source of enjoyment indoors. I have a cabinet that is 35 inches in height near the double front entry doors. I was made to fit in a space with angular walls. Top surface dimensions 4 feet 10 ¾ inches across the front right…
Kevin gets a Makeover!
Kevin is my first Dinosaur adoption. My process was developed working with him. I used fluorescent paints Green (Leaves), Orange and Yellow (Head/Face). The other colors were gloss – Light Turquoise (Egg & Eyes), Berry Pink (Mouth), White (Teeth) and Colonial Red (Tongue). The tops of the fluorescent paint cans may lead you to believe…
Bette Davis Eyes
Does your Dinosaur have Bette Davis eyes? There has been debate over Bette’s eye color. My google search indicated dark blue. However, many pictures looked like green. Any experts out there? I can hear Kim Carnes singing her 1981 hit that remained #1 for 9 weeks – “She’s got Bette Davis Eyes”! Link to song…
EasTer Rex
We have all heard of the Easter Bunny. Did you know there were Easter Dinosaurs? Really! The EasTer Rex, the EasteRapator, EasTericeratops and many others. For some reason the Bunny is the only Easter animal people seem to remember. If you have been really good you may be lucky enough to be visited by one…
Happy Valentine’s Day
We hope You All are having a Great Valentine’s Day! Dominic and Raphael bring See’s candy to share. My favorites – Bordeaux & Caramels Dark and Milk Chocolate. Alejandro, Marc and Antonio have just about finished them off. Good news Antonio saves the day! He flew to Paris and back to pick-up some incredible chocolates…
Carnivores in the Kitchen
What’s your Kitchen Style – Cretaceous Contemporary or Jurassic Rustic? You can’t go wrong with either one when the chefs are Metal Dinosaurs. Too many cooks in the Kitchen? Not here! Both Raphael (Raptor) and Dominic (T-Rex) enjoy helping out – from preparing the main course (which they most likely caught), baking cooks or setting…
Art Imitating Life
I made a trip to the Natural History Museum Los Angles to see the latest Dinosaur Exhibits. I believe the last time I was there was a Field Trip in Elementary School. At that time Dinosaurs were thought to be cold blooded reptiles. I still have a few books from that time. Even then they…
Dinosaur Transports
If you want to move your Dinosaur, you need to consider how? Its size, distance, your terrain and your physical capabilities should all be considered when answering this question. Selecting the right permanent spot to begin with might help. But plans change and your weather conditions may warrant changing locations especially for those living in…
