Books in Bloom

Tonight I was at the opening of "Books in Bloom" at the James Library in Norwell. I interpreted the book"Water for Elephants " by Sara Gruen. I made a diorama with fabric from the dump and cardboard. sand, collage and a flashlight. It fit right into the shelf.
The "buckets" are painted medicine cups left over from Nyquil - filled with tiny flowers -and inside there is a flashlight shining on a cutout of an elephant and the inside of the tent.
My sister Bryson helped me a lot on this-it was fun!

How original! Kudos to you for using 'found' objects - no need to buy anything! Nice job - and I loved that book!
