Dino Project!



My son Ferdi is almost 14 years old and is not into mini's
at all,haha! But something changed over night? He decided
to make his own summer project...A Dino Museum!



He asked me if I could help him with this project and
as I am his mom I was gladly to help him.
We Googled some inspirational foto's and started to make
a showcase for in the Museum. A box with a glass window
we used,was his own collection box,were he kept all his
treasures in he gadered over the years.
All the treasures will be used in his Museum project.






Here he is cutting egg carton to make a brick wall.




Today we went to a Museum to see some real
stuff for inspiration,Naturalis in Leiden.
This was not our first visit and I know for sure
that it is not the last,haha!

He bought a dig up dino to use in his museum,
he already had one but that is not enough for a
Museum....

The show case for so far... at the wall he will put a print
off the Deinonychus when he lived.


One of his treasures he found at our last visit to Normandiƫ.
We sent an email to Naturalis if they could tell us more off this
fossil? They sent him this massage......
Beste Ferdi,

Mooie vondst, hoor!

Het is zeker een fossiele zee-egel, zo te zien van het
geslacht Micraster. De zee-egel is hartvormig, en de
vijfstralige lijntjes liggen vrij diep. Het lijkt er op dat
het fossiel is bewaard in vuursteen. De vondst toont
veel gelijkenis met soorten als Micraster breviporus
en Micraster coranguinum.

Vergelijkbare fossielen zijn ongeveer 65 tot 100
miljoen jaar oud (Boven-Krijt).

Some New Kitchen Stuff !



This picture I googled was my inspiration
for making some new mini kitchen stuff.






All the mini's together.....
The basket I made with the materials Sylvia
gave to me at her last visit.



The wooden scoop I cut them myself.





Inspired by Josje,I made a salt cellar.
I used only metal to make it....
I'm working on a new project,these are the
mini's I will use for it so far.

Lisette had made a kit to build a kitchen
chaircase,and the fun part of it is, that it
acctually works.
