How To Create A Figurine Zoo
by Victor Epand
Creating a figurine zoo is a fun idea, isn't it? You can have a little group of still animals to take care of and display all of your own. You will not have to feed them, but you will need to dust them every once in a while. A figurine zoo is a great way to show your love for animals without actually having real ones. If you are interested in creating a figurine zoo, continue reading.
The first step in creating a figurine zoo is determining the exact location. If you have a few shelves to work with, great. The other option is to have a table or a small area of floor space available in a corner of a room. Measure out enough space for the animals that you want to include in your figurine zoo.
The next step is to collect the figurines. You may have to shop around for a while in order to find all of the animals. The usual animals that you would find in a zoo are a lion, tiger, bear, giraffe, zebra, and elephant. These animal figurines will be the easiest to find in stores and online. You might be able to find other animals like birds, and if you can find them, the better your zoo will be. Make sure that they are all a proportionate size, or the zoo just won't look right. You may want to look at some pictures of these animals just to be sure of their relative sizes.
Once you have all of your figurines, it is time to set up the zoo. You can add some fake grass or a little area of sand in the zoo area. You might want to put up a small tree figurine, or put up several trees and bushes. Make a separate space for each animal, so they don't hurt each other.
Now you can put each animal in their special place. You can have them next to each other, facing one another, or facing forward. If you really want to get creative, you can add tiny people figurines looking at the animals in your zoo. Tiny human figurines will be a little bit more difficult to find, however.
Take care of your animals by dusting them regularly. Don't let the kids play with them, figurines are easily breakable.
There you have it. That is how you can create your own figurine zoo with animal figurines.

New album now available from Veggie Co, Amazon.com, and iTunes!!!!
http://www.sun-zoo.com
A video for my song "Victims" I made this afternoon by recutting old PSAs and films to tell a new story. Most of this is from a short film called "If Mirrors Could Speak: Self-Image Film", but there's bits from other things as well.
The music is all original and by me. The song contains a sample from a Black Box Recorder song. I have twoo full length albums that you can download for free at my website, http://www.sun-zoo.com
Yes, the song is about girls but the overall message is kinda universal so I used some guys in the film as well.
Lyrics:
CHORUS (sampled from Black Box Recorder)
Well, you can...
Bite the bullet
Breathe in, breathe out
Or be a victim all your life
She holds the black plastic remote in her hand
She's watching MTV, she didn't go to the dance
It's Friday night, going as planned
Her dad wanted her to go, but he's old and he don't understand
That she's ugly, she can't join the popular clique
Can't afford the right clothes, and plus the top wouldn't fit
So she stays home, watches her shows cause she knows
She could never be them onscreen modelling clothes
She wants to be an artist
But she's having trouble getting started
It's hard to paint a pretty picture if you're brokenhearted
She only wants to be ignored, not be a target
But she's just an ego-builder for them high-school starlets
She's beautiful and she don't even know it
And if she ever finds out she'll be afraid to show it
Cause everything she sees says she doesn't belong
She's been taught that from birth, but yo, what if it's wrong?
CHORUS
She holds a tiny purse with a tinier dog
It's only Wednesday, but its her tenth time at the mall
She's gotta keep up, not with the Joneses, but with the Hiltons
The Britney Spearses and the Jessica Simpsons
And all them other female role models
She's got the clothes, lord knows, got the figure of a showstopper
She stays so proper, shine like Goldschlager,
At the right party every night with the right product
Never sleeps alone but she's never with a man
Who would ever let her slow down, and she don't understand
Why the clothes and the cars, the looks and the guys
Never adds up to happy in the back of her eyes
It's no surprise that she's secretly confused
Cause she's always done everything we're telling her to do
She did it with the best and she put up with the stress
But if you've got everything what more is there to get?
HOOK
I hold nothing but a mic in my hand
All I'm trying to do is observe so I understand
How our system could fail both those girls
Although no words could ever fully capture those concerned
I hope to learn, but still gotta speak what I see
And it's obvious, even to me, what we're seeming to be
Is just slaves to the preachers that be, mother culture everywhere
From the streets to TV
Got us so focused on the external
That we can't even take ourselves out the cycle, it's eternal
But it only exists as long as you believe it
And it's goal don't make sense cause no one can acheive it
So let's break free
Both of those girls are better than what our culture defines them to be
But culture is just us
So if you think you're worth more than your looks and your possessions,
Step up
