May Star Wars be with you! For all fans of this immortal saga, the artist Tony Larson came up with an art project Star Wars Terrariumsby placing your favorite characters in separate miniature terrariums in the form of transparent balls. From now on, each character has his own glass "globe", designed in such a way as to closely resemble the original landscape, known to us from the tape of George Lucas. Star Wars is one of those cinematic novels that fans most often recreate in sculptures, installations, collages, dioramas and other works of art. Remember at least the creative plates of Angela Rossi, a huge cake in the form of a Stormtrooper sculpture, a sand sculpture based on the most popular saga. The idea behind Tony Larson's glass balls-dioramas is that you can put this miniature on your desk or on your bedside table, decorate your office with a souvenir, or present it to someone who every year compulsorily revises Star Wars for both mood and in order not to forget a single little thing.
Unfortunately, not all of your favorite Star Wars characters live in the glass terrariums of Star Wars Terrariums. Tony Larson did not create dioramas with either Luke Skywalker, or Princess Leia, or the robot Werther or Stormtrooper … Not even Darth Vader, the dark Lord of the Sith. But master Yoda and R2D2, as well as a representative of the Ewok race from the wooded satellite of Endor, the author recreated in his dioramas with great care and accuracy, if not - with love.
Tony Larson lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota. You can get acquainted with the work of this American artist and sculptor on his creative page.

Strange Worlds: Miniature Dioramas by Matthew Albanese
We all remember the biblical story of the creation of the world. On the first day, God created light and separated it from darkness; on the second day - created firmament and water, on the third - land and plants … Who among us would not want to feel like a demiurge? Many people just dream, but the talented photographer Matthew Albanese makes dreams come true. Using the most common materials (spices, cotton, colored paper, ink, wire, etc.), he creates amazingly realistic compositions that
Works from dice. Simple shapes in sculptures by Tony Cragg (Tony Cragg)
British sculptor Tony Cragg is known for using not heavy bronze, marble or stone for his works, but light and simple materials that are always at hand - or underfoot. So, we already wrote about his plastic installations once, and the sculptures, which will be discussed today, are also made of plastic, but in the form of dice
Miniature Worlds by Isaac Kordall
How it happened that for a long time sculptors prefer marble as a material for their works - the rest of the stones are considered "ignoble" in this matter. But the Belgian artist of Spanish origin Isaac Cordal is alien to such conventions. After all, he makes his sculptures from cement. Moreover, contrary to all expectations and logic as such, he makes them very, very miniature
