Dinosaur
Painting Kit
11 1/4" x 8 1/2"
Just for Fun
I recently found this in a box of
art supplies that I hadn't seen--let alone opened--since we moved ten
years ago. I
remember working on it for hours when I was really, really little. It
was a fossil kit, and it started out as just a big slab of clay (or
some similar material) with pieces of this skeleton plaque buried in
it. First you had to dig them out (without breaking them), and then you
had to clean them, glue them together, and paint them like a real
fossil. I particularly remember the painting--I spent forever painting this thing, trying
to make it absolutely perfect. Actually, this was probably my first
experience with painting detail--it's certainly the first big project I
remember doing. And that is a damn fine paint job, if I do say so
myself.
