Got a Therizinosaurus skeleton model from Wonder Artistic Models for my bortdoy the other week and got it all assembled. I think it looks pretty legit!

I think it turned out pretty well. Being labeled an “advanced” model was p accurate 😂 Tho tbh I think it being “glue free” was more aspirational than anything else 😂😂😂 I’m 500% willing to admit that was user error tho. This bro just Was Not wanting to stay together without some help from superglue 😛

Overall: 👍👍👍 I’m here for it! My fave dinosaur? And it’s accurate (with what we know about Therizinosaurus atm)? And it looks good? Hell yeah 💪

Why did I first post this to my *~aesthetic~* blog vs the crafting/“I made this shit” blog? Who the hell knows 😂

Drew this dinosaur. Real Fuckhands McMike hours 😎

My carnivorous plant bog! Ft.:

3 sundews (Drosera capensis, D. tokaiensis, and D. madagascariensis)

a tropical pitcher plant (Nepenthes spectabilis x mira)

an Australian pitcher plant (Cephalotus follicularis)

a butterwort (Pinguicula primuliflora)

a terrestrial bladderwort (Utricularia sandersonii)

an aquatic bladderwort (Utricularia gibba)

2 air plants (Tillandsia caput-medusae and T. ????? an fuckin mystery)

a bunch of moss, twigs, and licheny bark from my front yard

an un-chia’d Chia Bob Ross

The 2 tiny moss terrarium on top of the bog

The bog water ft. the critters and the strands of aquatic bladderwort. The only things I put in the water were Daphnia (D. pulex) and whatever is in the “mixed protozoa” from Carolina Biological Supply. The Daphnia are the little white specks. I have what I think are some sort of hydrozoan, the little noodle guys sticking out of the peat at the bottom with a little crown of tentacles at the end. It looks like of them have like, cocooned themselves in the peat or sphagnum and float through the water in their cocoon and reach out and try to grab at the Daphnia with their tentacles occasionally. I also have little tiny roundworms and what look like some sort of flatworm. I’m guessing all these dudes just hitchhiked in on the aquatic bladderwort. I also had some damselflies that mysteriously showed up in the bog a while back; presumably they hitchhiked in as nymphs.

A video of The Critters in action. You can see the Daphnia as little white specks jerking about in the water and what look like hydrozoans wiggling in the peat at the bottom. You can also see what looks like a white flatworm crawling toward the top right of the waterline.

Mrs. Teeth came about because I saw a terrifying antique doll somebody posted on Twitter and I thought I could make a worse one 😂

(I have no idea where the original post is at this point 😩)

Plant House REVISED 😎

I now have a tropical pitcher plant and an Australian pitcher plant, as well as a l’il terrarium I made out of lichens and moss from my front yard.

My sundews and bladderwort are doing really well. 🙂

I’ve also added a fan since pitchers like a breeze and a stocking tea bag filled with peat moss to make the water acidic and tannin rich for the sundews and bladderwort.

(I need to re-seed Bob. His previous chia sprouts went ham and then died, as they do.)

Plant House. 😎 2 sundews, a bladderwort, 2 air plants, Chia Bob Ross, and the Snail Jar.

I’ll reblog this here since it Is a Thing I Assembled

[charlesfosterofdensen]

Rearranged the Biosquare after finally vanquishing the fruit fly infestation.

Added some live moss on top of the substrate since that’s about the only plant the cockroaches won’t eat and threw down some chia seeds for them to eat once sprouted. 🙂

I also filled out the magnetic fake vine bridge at the top of the Biosquare with more fake vine since the leaves kept falling off.

I added an actual back to the tank stand with utility netting and Command hooks to keep crap from falling out the back. I have no idea why it didn’t come with a back, but whatever it has one now. 😂

Bonus vid of a bug eating chia:

This counts as a creative endeavor, so why not reblog it here. 😂

Hello, Im sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you had a pattern for your rainbow therizinosaurus? I absolutely love him and would love to make one myself. I know if was quite a long time ago but if you had a pattern for it I would be really grateful! I would of course pay for the pattern! Thankyou,

Sorry to take so long to answer this! I never check the inbox on this blog.... 😔

I never use patterns when I crochet, unfortunately, so I don’t have one to share. I just make a sketch of each piece I think I need and then kinda eyeball and try to make the Yarn Tube fit the forms I want to make as I go. 🤷
