Mini Bear & Blue Bird Diorama

I made this mini diorama

out of a tuna can and a cardboard frame

that I drew and cut out. 

The whole thing was covered with paper mache

and then painted before I added the little scene

in the center. 

I made some cold porcelain roses

and glued them on with E6000 for

a cute finishing touch. 

I discovered that coloring

cold porcelain clay with Sharpies

(as opposed to paint) is less messy,

but it dries them out completely.

I wouldn't do that again. 

A little mess to clean up is better

than having to toss my Sharpies. 

Because of the frame design,

it sits at just the right angle. 

I coated the whole thing

with a gloss gel prior to affixing the

inside scene. 

The only thing left

to do is sign it!

Thanks for stopping by.
