Norton74 Posted July 8, 2021 Magda's Garden Shed Every time I visit a garden shop I am fascinated by the mixture of colors and shapes of the plants that you can find there. I really like that atmosphere especially in the old rustic shacks. I tried to recreate that kind of location by building a barn-shaped shed surrounded by flowers and plants. The inspiration came from a drawing by a Japanese dioramist that I really appreciate. The large tree that sprout up from the roof catches the eye and it's the leading element of the entire scene. The Garden Shed is the kingdom of Mrs. Magda (can you spot her?), a friendly Spanish lady who has retired to the countryside with her funny cat. She spends her spare time taking care of the multitude of lush plants and flowers. The diorama is full of details and strange pieces, have fun finding them. Hope you like it!

JaBaCaDaBra Posted July 10, 2021 My wife asked why my mouth was hanging open. I see the strangest things everywhere. Wow, what a wonderfull, beautifull and funny creation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoar Sonander Posted July 10, 2021 I really like he overall rustic design of the barn, and also the way that you created the layering in the ground and the roof. The handmade scarecrow is really realistic and very creative. The different plants on a small scale must have been hard, but I see they are worth it, as their flawless design matches that of the barn. Could we get some interior photos though?
