When I was just a kid (and this is my parrents who
have told me beqause I cant seem to remember
meeting him untill I was older) I apparently got an
interest in clay after speaking to Carl Cunningham-Cole,
here in sweden more often called Kalle Kula, or at
least by those who did know him.

So it did not take long for me to start begging my
parrents to get some clay to play with.

Without the right equipment I never was able to do
anything lasting but since I already had many dinosaur-toys,
I started to make skeletons so the place where I put
all my toys looked a bit more "historical-correct" haha.

There was a stream not far from the house were I had
started to build a little Jurrasic Park.

I made it wider by digging up all the rocks and boulders
(and yea I was a kid so the boulders and rocks would
probobly not be as big as I remember them to be now )
and made the stream wider so it became more like a river.

Then I put all the rocks as a foundation in the middle
and started to shape it with dirt and moss, smaler stones,
brances, u get the picture, so it started to look more
lika a "natural" habitat for dinos. ^^

we had a big lake too not far from the house were all
the streams led too and in the summers when the lake
got drained, beqause of the water being drawn to nearest
towns, so when the lake were at it smalest one could
find old tree-stumps sticking up from the mud.

The most of what I had to go by when it came to
designing my little dino-paradise came from the BBC
show, walking with dinosaurs, so those uld stumps,
when u finaly got them out of the mud, had washed
them och holded them upsidedown, they looked very
close to some of the trees one could see in that show
or at least if u were a kid at 7 or something.

well I could go on and on about all the silly stuff I did
with my toys but the sad thing is that I havent been
able to find any good pictures of it, so this one will
have to do for now.

Even tho I havent had the joy of becoming a father
my self, I still wanna encurage parrents out there to
let your kinds run wild when they get cool ideas,
as long as it is not dangerous of corse.

Go with them to a strem and show them what happens
if u change the flow of the water, show them what
happens if u try to make a dam, or how u can manipulate
the water to take other turns.

When it finaly clicks what water can do, then a whole
new world oppens up for them, if they like to be outside
that is. ^^

Be creative people! and let your kids be as well if u
think it can make them grow.

Down below u sould find a link to the wikipedia page
about Carl Cunningham-Cole if u should be interested.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
