vaneramosAn icthyosaur. This specimen is roughly three metres long.
More from the glass collection.
The temporary felt display contained samples from around the world and some history of the fabric. There was also a video depicting the construction of a yurg, the felt tent used by the nomadic Kazakh herders in Central Asia. The dispaly was hard to photograph, but I wanted to include at least one image. Here are some hat fashions. The bell-shaped flapper specimen was Sylvie's favourite in the collection. She sews costumes as a hobby and is fully capable of making a dress to match it, I'm sure.
Behind the cut are more images from various displays, plus two bonus silly pics of girls indulging themselves later on at Futures Bakery.
A crocodile from the time of the dinosaurs. It is roughly contemporary with and same size as the icthyosaur.
Bonus points to to whoever can identify what type of modern animal the lefthand skeleton belongs to, and some of you ought to know.
ROM has a sizeable collection of armour and weaponry from Medieval through relatively recent times.
Items from a 1750 British dollhouse.
More of those fabulous glassworks.
Besides traditional dance and music, last night's Thailand showcase included these elaborate fruit and vegetable carvings. The large pink one is a watermelon, the golden one on the right is a squash, and the small orange flowers are carrots.
Here are Sarah and Brenna goofing around later at Futures.
