Arister Gifts Diorama

I just scored this clock shadowbox at Goodwill! What a great box! I love finding things like this. I’ve made several other scenes from thrift store treasure.

In my eagerness to get started, I forgot to take the “before” photos. Luckily, there are similar pics of this piece on the Internet. Here’s what this looked like before I took it apart.

Everything was glued and screwed into the box. I was worried about breaking it as I disassembled the pieces. But, it turned out!

Here are the scenes before I reassembled to cover and glass.
