Swap meet diorama

Description

Shopping for cool stuff at swap meets was the main recreational activity for my husband and me, before we had kids. This went on for many years of our lives, until our house became so jammed we couldn't pack any more stuff into it.
Our love of junk was commemorated with this diorama of a swap meet. It is a framed three dimensional "shadow box" type thing, with forced perspective. This is a harder thing to do than you would think!
My favorite part is the realistic crumbling asphalt and trash in the foreground , just like that of the drive-in where this swapmeet was held. Memories.
My daughter and I made this as a gift for my husband. She was three years old at the time. She made suggestions and several rugs out of play dough.
