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.

Stamped metal pieces
If one looks beyond the obvious sources of zinnfiguren, there are many stamped metal pieces which could be collected as well. For example, my sister gave me these Siamese elephants which are used for cushions and embroidery.
