Yesterday, my family and I celebrated Easter. That made me think about today's project, a diorama made a while back when I was practicing "stone making." It's a private chapel in a castle, just for the Lord and Lady.
The box is constructed from 1/4" plywood. I made the walls and floor by covering them with spackle, and once dry, I carved out each stone. I then painted and distressed them to look like stone.
The altar is wood and cardstock painted to look like stone. The candles on the altar are made from polymer clay. I made each prie dieu (kneelers) with balsa wood stained walnut and a bit of scrapbooking velvet for the upholstery. I must have made 5 of them before I was pleased with the result!
The mural is a printout. I framed it with wood and painted the wood to look like stone.
The finished piece is closed with an 11X14 purchased frame.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks so much for looking!
