I need some suggestions what to do with some roo poo before it turns light brown .. it's nice and fresh and dark at the moment ( actually I think it's wallaby poo)... I need to resin it soon before it fades.
For the past week we've been having big gerbils bounce all over our property.. but only in the night ( that's what makes me think it's wallabies.. nocturnal, where roos normally we see at dusk) .
Hubby got a glimpse of one the other night.. but being dark, and half tanked .. he couldn't tell if it was a wallaby or a roo., or a big gerbil... just they were smaller than your average roo.
Anyway with Christmas in mind for the rellies.. I collected the droppings yesterday evening after opening a few .. definitely roo or wallaby poo .. I can't tell which one though ( I checked to see if it was cat sh*te.. nope... doing my David bellamony* impression).. and it's not koala poo ( we've koalas on our property).. I know what that poo looks like it's more oval and long.. unlike my poo ( pardon the pun)
I've thought about turning some into keyrings.. bit boring though. do people ever use keyrings??
Anyway.. this years presents to the in-laws will be literally sh*te from our own garden.. I'll take photo's when I've done something with them.. this may help some others who have a hard time in finding presents to send home to the in-laws...
I like to share my "crafty" tips
cheers

Just been thinking about you an hour ago, Ceri.
I've just been walking around a bookshop and on the shelf was a book called 'An Encyclopaedia of Poo'. Only £5! All different sorts, from human to animal. The book was shrink wrapped so I couldn't look inside, but the pictures on the front and back looked good!
Hardly bedtime reading, but it might be interesting!

I am flushing with embarrassment to ask but was it printed in Looe, Cornwall ?

I also found out later it was indeed wallaby poo. The wallaby comes each night, I've actually got him on film. And since then I've collected another big tub of his poo, as I don't want to leave anyone off my christmas list, just in case I look to be favouring mum-in-law with the best gifts - there's heaps to go around now.
Anyway, an update. I've turned some into magnets that I have stuck up on the fan. This is called "The sh*t hits the fan", and another is decorating a book. The other I turned into a paper weight, but I don't have that picture on this camera.

Now I'm not so sure...Brought them home to give out to my friends - they found them disgusting even when I said it was just really good imitation made from plastic. Should I tell my friends the truth now???

Only one way to tell - saw one half , you may find that it is real.
Nah I wouldn't tell them, they may not be able to contain their excitment at owning such a genuine treasure.They also may invite you to their cocktail parties to share in their good fortune, and if you're not a cocktail party lass, you'd have to make endless excuses to why you're not using their cocktail sticks.
Wait until you are in Aus, collect some kangaroo/wallaby or koala poo etc, put some on cocktail sticks yourself, coat them in resin.. and send them to your friends to go with their reindeer ones. Write them a note to go with it "thinking of you, thought these would go very nicely with your plastic reindeer stick collection"
Your friends will love you for it.

I was suppressed by my mum
- she also kept releasing my pet grass snakes.. saying to me they had escaped - like hell they did! I used to keep them in an old tin army trunk in the garden.I also had an imaginary friend for years ,when I was little, he was called snakey lakey ( a big massive snake friend) ..lol... if I did anything wrong and got told off.. my friend snakey lake was going to come and get them all... I always remember my dad killing him - it was on a long car journey and I was being a brat " snakey lakey" this and that ..for hours on end from the back seat of the car, my dad pulled over in a service station, got out , then came back and said "I've just killed snakey lakey" ... and I believed him! I shut up for the rest of the trip - our relationship was never the same after that according to my mum - she told him off later for doing that to a child - you should not have killed her snake, it could damage her.
Am I in need of a psychiatrist yet?? lol
cheers
P.s morale of the story let your kids collect things.. or they'll grow up to be like me :scared:
