Washed the sheepskin, took two days to dry properly. Moby approves.
I know it's not an ammonite, and I'm sure I used to know the name of this tubular, early creature, but I can't remember what it is.
Orthoceras, apparently.
This was pretty enough, but I had to handle it to realize what it was.
So, got some lamp oil, and are rather pleased.
The game is Cranium, and there is some modeling clay included. Second hand, that was a bit dry, and slightly mucky. So I picked up some PlayDoh. Which I will have fun with anyway. Mom used to make modeling clay for me occasionally, occasionally allowing me some food coloring. Which I liked, and much appreciated. On the one occasion when I was given some commercial Play Doh, I was not allowed to mix the colors "because you can't unmix them." Now, it's the first thing I do, and I feel a twinge of resentment that I was not allowed this joy as a child, for a sensible reason.
I don't know where the snowguy idea came from, looks a bit like SNL's Mr. Bill though. He was immediately swished into a candy cane, then put back in the tub.

That oil lamp is beautiful, Zhoen. The glaze pattern and colors are particularly appealing.
I was told the same thing about both modelling clay and Play-Doh; the modelling clay in grade school, the other when I wanted to play with the stuff bought for younger siblings.
Now I play with poly clay and I mix whatever I want.
Not sure if that was a creature or an early marine plant (crinoid) that you usually see that in cross section not vertical section.
Working on this one, I *ought* to remember!!
It could possibly be part of Arthropda - a shrimpy spine.
I thought they were trilobites, those.
The lamp is lovely. Grotty green mixed up plasticene was a bit of a horror.
Crow,
Thanks, I feel a little better not being the only one. Still, it seems such an odd prohibition, doesn't it?
gz, RR,
Orthoceras. Took me way too long to find it, but I'm pretty sure. I'll add a link above.
Never too late to play with clay...
love the lamp. does it come with a genie?
Isabelle,
Agreed. Only wish I could still throw on a wheel. sigh.
pc,
I certainly rubbed it enough to clean off the lamp oil I spilled. So, apparently, the genie has already escaped. Ah. well.
Yes!
Trilobites are more like marine woodlice!
I've played Cranium a few times, owning it makes it more likely. I am terrible at the trivia part of the game and am okay at the rest.
