    House Junk Diorama build?

    Hi All
    So this morning i was putting some rubbish in the dustbin and had a light bulb moment i lifted the lid on the recycle bin and jumped in ,I'll attach a pic of what i found know what to build out of this pile of rubbish ive even included a t bag i found and some died orange peel ill up date this or move it to another section once i have decided what i will build from it
    Thanks
    So stage one clay for the diroma ? Down the local wood to find the clay we have a large pit and stream that runs by the side i collected 5kg got home mixed with water to break it down to a thick paste .I sieved the thick now liquid clay in to a box lined with a old t shirt will update in two days once most of the water as evaporated my garden shed is hot i also found a big patch of Lady Orchids back in 2 days

                Todd, interesting project.
                Not wishing to be a spoilsport, and I'm not suggesting for one minute you intend to, but please don't pick those Lady Orchids. They are very rare in the wild around the U.K.

                Cheers.

                    I'm surprised...I thought orchids grew in tropical climates.

                      If you google English Orchids you will see we have a wide range of wild ones .

                        More than fifty species grow wild in the UK. Good sign of healthy grassland. I’ve taken to photographing them if I see them while walking...mostly so I can work out what type they are

                          Nice one Todd. Obviously in very safe hands. They are the most beautiful of plants.

                          Onwards and upwards with the build.....:thumb2:
