We were given a list of 25
things that could be used and we had to use 20 of them. In addition to posting
the picture of our new mini scene, we had to post the list of items used and how
we used them (if not obvious). When I first started this I drew a total blank.
Didn't have an idea of what I would do, but finally got a great suggestion and
it just sort of built itself. A fellow miniaturist suggested I lay out all the
items and then pick 20 of them. It went from nearly impossible to finished very
quickly.
