T. rex RayAbout the Design
What kind of dinosaur are you on the inside? Patients from Children’s Hospital answered this question with artwork that Artist/Teacher Ashley Hodder transferred to a Tyrannosaurus rex. Grouping the images by background and paint colors, Hodder created "T. reX Ray," a dinosaur that reveals its very bones. The children provided more than 100 images for the project using paper, paint, and glitter. Swarovski crystals on the dino’s toes and teeth provide a touch of glamour and high style.
