Muriel
E. Hope's Original Dioramas
All dioramas described below are unique, one-of-a-kind artworks. No
copies of them will be produced.
It takes some time for a
diorama to be completed due to the metal armatures that have to be made to
ensure that the animals, as well as the grasses, flowers and bushes, have
strong support structures. Most parts are made separately to allow
more freedom for detail and colour. Bases are typically in wood, but
can be in marble for larger pieces.
These are, indeed,
amongst the highest quality nature sculptures available.
