Dioramas

I could not find good pictures for my gods and goddesses so I decided to make a diorama and use the Greek alabaster statues that I have at home for the models. I stuck two toilet paper rolls on top on one another and then stuck a picture of a temple column on the front to create the temple columns. For the background, I used a picture of a temple wall with Greek writings on it, I copied this four times to make the area of the back wall. The sides are pictures of a wall of columns from a temple in Greece. All these pictures I got from free picture websites. For the floor, I used wet tea bags to soak the paper and give it an old stained stone look. During this process one of tea bags broke and tea fell over the paper, I decided it made it look more authentic as the tea looked like dirt on the floor, I went on and broke open a few more tea bags to create ‘dirt’ for the floor. I had a great time creating the scenes and I enjoyed the challenge.
