EASTER scene 1

Egg making in the land downunder.The scene can be left as a diorama in its suspended state of motion. Many people viewing it as I was making it, enjoyed it just as it is. It is possible for some simple motion to be added. A simple method to provide up and down motion, very gentle not much movement, is to insert overhead overhead a rotating shaft and cam system whereby fishing lines are connected between the cams and objects below. As the shaft and the cams rotate, a slight rise and fall of the lines creates some gentle motion. Many simple raising up motions such as the rabbit painting eggs, the legs of the stuck rabbit, the eggs in basket and on string, the teapot pouring chocolate into mould, the mouse opening and closing his chocolate egg house and the pulling of the wagon along a track are possible and add more diverse action rather than the slight up and down motion. The weight of the wagon allows it to drop easily whilst being guided along a hidden track and is then pulled up again slightly. There has been accomodation in the chocolate bowl for a small motor to be placed within and to turn slowly, whilst connected to the wooden spoon which makes it look as if the rabbit is stirring. The scene was designed by StudioM to be lit by hidden lights from underneath the grass hedge, and from behind the trees which will make a glow from within the tree through the windows. Also a light placed underneath the pot being stirred on a tree trunk stove will give a red glow. Also designed for lights behind the leaves above and underneath the grassy knoll at the back behind root system.

Scene designed and made by rgm of StudioM in Feb 2006 at our workshop. Copyright held by StudioM - Photo taken at StudioM workshop BEFORE its sale in 2006 to a Promotions company. It was sold without transfer of rights and any claims since by this company to be the 'creative force' and 'mastermind' behind it would be COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading and an infringement of our copyright. It was bought as seen here and they had no artistic involvement. Names of creators and designers are in the scene left side on the tree below the grass edge - click to see notes - and should still be visible and unchanged by copyright law.

Juanita the dollmaker in Clifton made the rabbits, and made the mice to our drawings and specifications. All original artwork, sketches and written specifications etc held by RGM StudioM.
