My aim in setting up this blog is in exploring flats (zinnfiguren) as an art form. Once thought of as playthings, flats have evolved into very artistic pieces, created for and treasured by collectors. I prefer to explore flats in a contextual setting by putting them into shadow-box dioramas of artistic merit which can be reasonably contained within a manageable space. The chronology of this web blog will hopefully blaze a definite trail in this direction.

Xmas party in the Mediterranean
Been busy over the X'mas period. Besides the crafting of many boxes and frames, I carried on doodling on many sets at a time.
Mohr Gyspy pieces
Hafer Etruscan set
Ochel Assyrian dancing girls. Here, a stronger contrast is made between highlights and shadows in the flesh painting.
These pieces seem to suggest a rollicking good time.
