Just to prove that I do things other than cards!

Hi Everyone,
it's that Book week time of year again, the kids at Tarnagulla had their parade on Thursday (sadly I'm at work on Thursdays, but Tom went and took photos and I got in a few before I left for work)
So I spent the weekend making a Dinosaur tail.... got the old paper mache technique going (plain flour mixed with water and wiped onto strips of newspaper), swiped a paper from work that nobody wanted, made a form out of old cornflake boxes and voila:

LOL one Dinosaur tail!  I also bought a (cheap) bike helmet from KMart, and green and black spray paint and the helmet got the same Paper Mache treatment, one spiky helmet!

then Sam had to do a bit of work himself, on creating a mask (he coloured it in then took all the credit for making the entire outfit - LOL typical 6 year old)

He was so chuffed to be a dinosaur.
Next Up Josh's outfit, last year he wanted to be Mr Mosely the Dog (it's a book), and we'd made up the outfit, then he was sick and couldn't attend, so this year we bought out the costume, and added to it, obviously in tail mode, so guess what? we added a tail - lol

it was meant to kind of float behind his back (tied on with fishing line), which was fine with constant re-adjustment, otherwise it tended to go to one side, however moving on.......front view:

Mr Mosely in the book has a black wonky heart looking patch on his chest, and long floppy ears, I don't think we did a bad job :)
And here they are together waiting for the school bus:

Well that's it for now, inspiration in a different way today, but I hope it inspires you to create!
God Bless love
