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.

Moby Dick part 2
The waves are now carefully juxtaposed together with the main elements.
The mat frame was placed over the scene to assist in placement of the pieces.
I started painting the background. The waves were painted with a deep blue green colour with white. I used a very free and loose style of painting, including impasto techniques.
The scene with the elements added. Pretty exciting, huh?
