I Built And Entire Diorama Using Paper Mache, Quilling Technique And Real Candy For An Image Manipulation
I do Photoshop manipulations as a hobby, and I had this inspiration in 2019, an entire world made out of real candy but had to drop it since no stock images were helping me to bring this idea to life.
Until last year, watching The Witcher while playing Candy Crush, the idea came back with a vengeance. But how would I do it? I had absolutely no knowledge with 3D, but I was always a crafty person, so I thought to myself… “What if I build a diorama from scratch?”
And that’s the start of a really fun journey that helped to ease some of my quarantine-anxiety issues.

The video shows the Photoshop part of the process:
I absolutely LOVED the final result, and don’t worry that everything that wasn’t touched by glue or paint, has been eaten ;)
First I started by roughly building little mountains with styrofoam board, making sure where things would go
Then, I mixed toilet paper, water and flour to create the paper mache. Next, I started to cover the whole diorama with it
After everything was covered, it was time to paint with acrylic paint
After the paint was completely dry, I started to add some of the candy and these golden paper sculptures with a technique called “quilling”
With all the candy in it’s place, I had to build the cookie mountain
