Medium Yellow Die

Medium Yellow Die

please read this question, this animal can die without ur help?

my dad went fishing on his boat on monday in the ocean. and when he came back, my mom discovered a medium sized crab with a shell, and it was on the boat. my sister came and took it inside, but she does not know what to feed him and how to keep him alive. TODAY we bought some special salt that u can add to the water so the water becomes saltwater. we plan to keep him like this until the next time we go fishing(which is in like about 8 or 9 days). he looks alright he has been coming out of his shell. well not like completely but it does stick its head out. wat should we feed him, how should we take care of him, anything else that can keep this animal alive.

i know that you want to try to keep it alive but nothing can replace its natural enviroment you need to try to get it back were it came from. In the mean time the water needs to be flowing. it need to in an environment that has land and water, the water should be moving and the land should have sand and the usually eat little fish so maybe some little fishes from the pet store. They eat little krill too, sometimes they will eat bread but its not the best thing to give it. Make sure the water temperature is slightly warmer than room temperature too, for the ocean is cold.

Good Luck, and for the animals sake, try to get it back to were it belongs, they ae not pets!

Making Miniature Food Replicas For Dollhouses and Craft Projects

Nothing completes the lived in look of a dollhouse or other similar craft product quite like having scrumptious food sitting out on a counter or table. Buying these items is, of course, the easy way to go. Making them, however, is a whole lot more fun.

If you’re up to the challenge of crafting foods for your miniature kitchen, you’ll find there are a lot of things you can make in Your Own home that will give your dollhouse a more authentic look. Most projects are very simple and can even be created by youngsters who want to lend a hand. Some, however, will require a steady hand and a very patient touch.

To get started making your own food replicas for your dollhouse, you’ll have to do a few things in advance. They include:

Deciding what you want to make;

Scouring or dreaming up ideas for crafting and preserving the foods;

Collecting the necessary materials.

You will find that many food replica projects rely on basic materials that can be found in most craft shops.

Sample Projects You Can Try

There are a number of fairly easy and affordable projects you can try. Many will call for an investment in craft supplies, but most of these items can be used to make other projects. Some projects that are fairly easy to tackle include:

Creating raw eggs – There’s nothing like the look of raw eggs cooking in a pan to give a dollhouse kitchen a homey look. To create your own, you’ll need a tar gel acrylic medium and yellow acrylic paint. Make sure you have the surface you want the eggs in or on ready. Now, create your yolks by dotting yellow paint onto the surface. You can make a broken yolk look by using a toothpick to pull out your dabs. For the whites, use the tar gel to create the desired shape. If necessary, a white acrylic medium can also be used. Should you not be sure where you’d like your eggs to go when complete, craft them on a slick ceramic tile and gently scrape them off for placement once they are fully dry.

Polymer clay foods – This is the medium used for making most dollhouse and craft foods. It can be used to create such things as peaches, apples, pancakes, waffles and a host of other foods. Just use acrylic paint or another dying medium to add your desired color to the clay. Shape and then bake according to manufacturer instructions. Do keep your scale in mind when you’re working with the clay. To make waffles, for example, it’s a good idea to actually mold the shapes using a dollhouse waffle iron.

Cakes and other finished look designs – To create scaled and realistic looking cakes, you’ll need a color computer printer, acrylic paints and florist foam. Cut your cake (foam) to the desired shape. Select a picture for the top of the cake and print. Affix the picture (wrapping the sides, too) with your printer paper. Once you have a clean look, “frost” the cake by using dabs of acrylic paint to build up a more three-dimensional look.

Sure, it’s easier to buy replica foods for dollhouses and craft projects. It’s a whole lot more fun, however, to whip them up in your own kitchen!
