Description
One of my childhood dreams, to become a paleontologist.I dug up a skeleton of a Deinonychus from a chalk piece!
Used a usual black board chalk piece,
2 hours and a sewing pin.

I suddenly want to be a sewing-pin sculpture, and then I will go to schools during the holidays and create gifts for the teachers (because, let's face it, the students would be too far away).Β These artful images would represent such hopeful things as dreams, life goals, and possibly even hope itself, and the teachers will be forced to watch them slowly whittle away as they use the chalk trying desperately to get the children to learn something.Β And then, when the chalk is worn down to a stub, it will crumble in their hands in terrible significance.
You know, to lift their spirits.
(That first sentence is entirely true.Β The rest of it is merely probable.)

this is amazing, I would not have the patience for that, but I used to go with friends up to a hill where there was a chalk pit and we used to search stones with imprints on them (:

This is incredible. I imagine it takes a lot of patience to unearth bones that delicate.

Amazing work...

Bravo! It's really cool that you chose to do a dinosaur fossil in that it fits so well with the chalk. Have you seen the ones people have done using crayons? Also using lead pencils! Where after sharpening the wooden pencil the exposed lead is sculpted into something, something obviously very small! The one I saw was like a little statue of a person.
