make a diorama



I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Today, I have another bit of news that I'd been holding back. I got my latest Craft - Vol. 7 magazine (on stands on May 6th) in the mail over the weekend and on page 103 you'll find a diorama project made by yours truly. I was approached by the Craft editor in January to work on this project and nearly 3 months later it's so nice to finally see it in print. Initially, the scene was more winter oriented so I did have to revise it a bit to make it look more 'springy'. This is the first time I write an article for a magazine so I was a little apprehensive about the whole thing but in the end I think it turned out ok.

Speaking of dioramas, I was about to throw away some shoe boxes this weekend when I thought about my own project. Now I think they'll be the materials we use for our first summer project with the kids. I can't believe the year is coming to an end so soon!

One more thing - If you haven't visited the Crafty Synergy blog in a while I posted a new interview on Friday. Check it out!

  1. Those are amazing. Are you planning on attending The Maker Faire again this year? I am so excited to apply as a "maker" this year. My friends Alex and Jennifer and I want to set up a booth to do collages using found objects and frames. I've been working (when I have an ounce of free time) on finding old frames and making some new collages. I'll have to upload them soon. Anyways, I hope to see you down there in October. I can't wait.

    Take care,
