Start of a new project...

I have been wanting to start this project for awhile.  It is almost time for school to start, so I thought it is finally time.  I saw in an issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazine a couple of months ago, a really cool idea that someone did.  They made 3D suffragettes out of fabric and wire and mounted them into a base (I believe a block of wood).  These were tall figures.  Probably about 13 inches tall.  They made a great display showcasing this period in history.  I think there were about 10 of these done.

My idea doesn't have to do with suffragettes, but another piece of history that should be honored.  I am going to make a 3D display (for our library) of 9/11.  I will make some New York firefighters and some other people who were a significant part of this event.  It should be fun but definitely a stretch of my ingenuity.  Wish me well on my endeavours.  I will try to post pictures of the process and of the end results.  Hopefully they will turn out like I am envisioning.
