Peeps diorama

The Washington Post runs a diorama contest every year. Laurs's art history teacher assigned a project for them to make a diorama and enter it. She chose to recreate a Whistler painting, "Caprice in Purple and Gold."

She asked me to make a kimono for the peep, and later, I volunteered to construct the chair.
