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.

The Titanic
I decided to do the Sinking of the Titanic.
A suitable picture of the Titanic was selected, pasted on cardboard, and cut out. The scene was framed to test for composition.
At this stage, it was problematic on how to cut around the mast and rigging to remove the printed background.
