I've been working on the path for a few days, cutting lots of tiny 'cobbles' from cardboard and glueing them on individually to a long length of cardboard. Very simple and didn't require much skill but I achieved the cobbled look I wanted and made a street long enough to run through the scene. The buildings now look more in place, like they're actually in a street not a bare field.
I needed material big enough to cover the whole width of the scene to make the sky and I couldn't find paper big enough for this but I did find some wallpaper and cut this to the right length. I added clouds by dabbing white on with some scrap toy stuffing I'd saved from work. A lot of what I do is just collecting scraps and finding ways to use them.
I wanted the town to look like it was hidden inside a bramble bush so I have made all these leaves from cardboard and coloured paper, but I think I need to make them a bit taller in order to show the miniature scale of the town and how the buildings would be hidden inside this hedge.
