I am volunteering for my daughter’s school, making an interactive diorama for their equivalent of a Santa’s grotto; an immersive experience where they step inside a large gingerbread house installation.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I decided to build a rotating diorama, operated by the audience turning a crank handle.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I based the diorama on the 4 different kingdom themes celebrated during the 4 weeks of advent by the Steiner community; mineral, plant, animal and human.<\/span><\/div>\n

Above is a little seedling for the plant kingdom section.<\/span><\/div>\n

And here is a close up of the main plant kingdom peg, with a hood full of blooms.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The last 2 images are pieces for the animal kingdom section. And below are 2 close ups of the main piece for the mineral kingdom.<\/span><\/div>\n

I really enjoyed reconnecting with peg making and crafting for this project; it brings me such simple joy. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
And it felt wholesome and rewarding to be making this as a gift to Annabelle’s school.<\/span><\/div>\n
