Way back on the 18th of July I promised to post pictures of my child's room for your critical evaluation. They are finally here!
This shows the north wall, including the volcano in the NE corner. The alternating bands of light and medium brown are supposed to represent different geologic layers. Yes, the T-Rex fossil spans layers. It's called "artistic license". The dinosaurs on the ground are stickers ordered from The Company Store, but the pteranadon/pterodactyl is hand painted, as are the palm trees, rocks, ferns, etc. all without stencils. (BTW, I don't care if palm trees didn't exist during the time of the dinosaurs. Nor do I care that theropods (like T-Rex) and sauropods (like apatosaurus) didn't co-exist. Artistic license.)
Here we see the SW corner of the room, including the apatosaurus mentioned above.
And finally we see the SE corner.
We're still needing to get some curtains, put up some high shelves to hold keepsakes, and put up a poster or two. I also still owe 2 of 2 a couple more fossils in the dirt.
Not shown is the window and the fossils under it (a fish and a trilobite), and the big and little dipper on the ceiling. They are done with glow in the dark stars, so they only show up at night.
