Sorry I've not posted for ages I've been busy with holidays, and work, and my international, super secret, night-time crime fighting operation.
Anyway, I'm back with a project I started working on ages ago; a terrarium for boyfriend. (This is a little garden in a bowl which you arrange in a particular scene, I chose stars wars, and in particular Bright Tree Village on the forest moon of Endor, home to the Ewoks- see below.)
I had already made my Ewok but it took my a while to get all the bits and pieces together to make the village. I used a large (30cm) glass bowl that was too large!, moss, pebbles from my garden, hay, brown textured card, scissors, tape, and glue. I bought tooth picks as well but didn't use them.
You can also see the paper prototype of the Ewok house I made as I was figuring it all out. I then remade this in card. I glued the hay onto the little house in an effort to recreate the strange texture the trees and houses have in the films. Not sure I quite got it but it was quite hard to glue on.
I also made three more little houses (I made them smaller because they are further away, and because I didn't have very much card left!) They are on the ground and a little hidden in the moss and pebbles but I think they are a cute surprise.
Pictures aren't great because photographing a dusty and fingerprint smudged shiny glass bowl in a messy bedroom with the sun shining in is slightly beyond my abilities.
