Visualising Time

This is the idea im going with. Here is the making process:

This is the area for working, im using a glass bowl and some mud to start with:

Then im adding a layer aof newspaper over the top to make it stronger to hold the trees etc:

Bang on a layer of pva to make it a proper surface (i peirced hole in the newspaper so the pva sinks through and binds onto the soil):

Here is a shot of the models ill be using:

Getting it all dry in time is an issue, so heres my drying rig to deal with this problem:

I then painted over the PVA base a greeny brown colour mixed with PVA, which made it possible to stick grass on:

Add some buhes and trees and the people and voila:

These are just to make it look complete, i still need to design the landscape better and as you can see from the pic below i have plenty more props to work with:

This is a very brief update as im in a rush to go out so havent explained anything about the project or the point of it. Will sort this out when i have a chance.
