I’ve been a little obsessed with dioramas since I first discovered their official existence through the ever mind-boggling creative geyser that a good old Pinterest session can bring.

What is it? It’s basically a 3D ish picture in a box. I’ve been meaning to explore the concept for a while, but finally took the plunge in the last few days, cause you know, taking a leap on 29th Feb seems like a better time than ever to use time differently.

This is quite a smallish piece – the frame is 25x25cm, so each person is only a few centimetres tall.

What was particularly fun was to find a way to overlay them in different depths (shhhh, not telling) and to add all the cats, of course.

Yes yes yes I admit, these are all mine. My preciousses. 6 gorgeous cats. I am a crazy cat lady. Not that you could have guessed from any of my work, no no no…

Thinking of offering these up as potential commissions – what do you think? 

I’m already thinking of faraway landscapes, city scapes, days at the zoo and more! Ahhhhh, if every day could be a leap year day…
