Is a Chameleon a Reptile? And a snail race.

More Flying Things

                        This is a paper version of the parakeet you can feed on a popsicle stick at the zoo. Mr. Squidmupod sneaked into the picture.

Zoey the Electric Moray Eel

We were inspired by the fake fur to make an eel.  The small fins are made of felt.  Other materials: fake fur, permanent marker, googly eyes, hot glue.

Osprey

We were starting to make a submarine but then Dinko noticed that it looked like a bird.  So we turned it into this osprey.  Materials: tinfoil, newspaper, tape, markers, stickers, bead, pipe cleaner.

Little Baby Barn Owl, Toucan, Turkey

We made Little Baby Barn Owl after getting inspired by the exhibits at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum.  Materials: cotton balls, tape, permanent markers, tinfoil, and newspaper.

 Toucan-- clay + paint.

"Turkey to roast."  The plate was Dinko's idea for the photograph.

Mr. Squidmupod-- today's project.

Kitchen glove, googly eyes, card for the whale tail, markers, tape, and hot glue.  "If you have a baby you can let your baby or your kid play with this."

Welcome Message from Dinko and Diana

Dear friends,

Dinko and his studio assistants (Mom and Dad) are going to try this as a way to share some of our recent art projects.  If people are interested, we'll do how-tos.

Thanks for reading!

Love,
Dinko
