So this August
http://www.blackandbluebird.com/ had a challenge to read a book, create a book review or diorama and enter it for a chance to win one of their beautiful necklaces. I just completed my diorama and am hoping for a necklace with an "i" on it for my little Ione Vera.
I don't have much time for reading these days, but while on our 10 hour drive to Bentonville, AR area this summer to see family and friends, we downloaded audio book, 'The Hunger Games'- Collins. I was unsure at first, but loved listening to this book while driving, it made me wish the trip would never end. I've been wanting to complete this diorama before watching the movie so I would not have been swayed by the images in the film. Now we can finally rent it from Red Box.
I choose the scene that made me bawl like a baby... Jeff happened to be asleep during this part, so I had to endure it twice... the second time around I decided I'd base my diorama image around it. (*Spoiler Alert*)Innocence lost, my friends. Shortly after blowing up the food supply, heroine Katniss defends her small friend Rue and lays her down covered in flowers while she sings her to sleep, to death while the MockingJays sing along. Life, death, survival, friendship, beauty, music, humanity... it is all in here. GAhhhhh.. don't make me cry again.
Enjoy! Perhaps you have time to enter their little challenge. Find Black and Bluebird Studios on FB and post your pictures/ book review!!!! I had tons of fun making this, and think I'll try another one soon.
