One is of a castle with knights and their horses, and a dragon.
The other stars Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf by Red’s grandma’s house. I’m going to start filling the pond with fake water tomorrow and finish making the caulk waterfall. Then I’ll add Red and the wolf and the house (which will go where the bundles of dried grasses are in the picture) and I’ll be done. I’ve been working on this diorama for more than a month. I cut and painted dead grass from the meadow behind my house, and used real soils too (and some dried coffee grounds), which I baked to sterilize. I made the cliff out of Hydrocal and plaster of Paris, and the trees out of wooden dowels, furnace filter material and moss bits. I textured the trunks with wood filler. What a long project! Good thing I’m patient, but Mr. froggy would like to have the kitchen table back, because our doggies keep trying to eat off his plate. 
Since taking the picture of Red and the wolf figurines, I’ve made a lace bed cape for the wolf to go with grandma’s sleep cap. I decorated the cap and cape (which I made out of an old doily) with pink ribbons.
When both dioramas are finished, I may spiff up the house a little. Still deciding about that.
