Land Art Diorama I've watched Adrian Gray create 'land art' on Lyme Regis beach. His work is fascinating. Adrian GrayI chose his 'Campfire Creatures' for my diorama. I made fourteen 'stones' using merino wool and the felt bead method - but working carelessly so that they looked a bit 'rocky'. I made more than I needed so that I had plenty to choose from for my little scene. To join two stones, I inserted a sewing needle so that half of it was in each piece - a joining pin. My husband painted the nightime background sea and sky and we visited our local shore to collect the gritty sand for the beach. The light from the campfire was created by holding yellow and orange cellophane in front of a spotlight aimed at the creatures. (The image will enlarge if you click on it.)

.... the one on the left looks like he has a nose. I hadn't spotted that Ann! Funny thing is, after getting the technique right for making smooth beads, it was really hard to make them rough and rocky - they're a lot smoother than I wanted.

Wonderful Lyn. How big is your little scene? They do look like they are having a wonderful moonlit conversation.

Wonderful Lyn. How big is you little scene. They do look like they are having a wonderful moonlit conversation. Thank you Ruth. The 'beach' is actually deeper (front to back) than it appears in the photo - it's 11" deep by 14" wide. I placed the 'stones' away from the backdrop because of shadowing and although they look fairly close together (front to back) they are quite spaced. The angle of the shot has caused a bit of foreshortening. The tallest 'stone' is 5" high.

Lyn, that was an amazing example of land art! Very cool idea. If you had not mentioned it, I would have thought your stones were actually on the beach with the campfire and waves crashing to shore. Kudos to you!
