Do you know how hard it is to get a gerbil to pose? Once Brownie discovered she could climb down the curtains she would happily romp around in the cordoned off area of the playpen in the Light Box. This is the best of an hour's work.

Details:
Balcony: One deeply, discounted decorative Corbel from Home Depot mounted to a white board.

Balcony Railing: Part of one of my child's toys painted gold and glued to the corbel.

Curtains: Some spare Arts & Crafts cloth that I sewed onto a wire frame and bent into a curved shape. Drilled holes into white board and stuck the wire through to mount it above the balcony.

Door: Black Felt and brown textured cloth from spare Arts & Crafts materials around the house.

Lighting:
Homemade Light Box: One card table turned upside down, white tablecloth, duct tape, a desk lamp and a spotlight lamp.

5 - Like the concept. Like to have seen Juliet more dominant in the frame/bigger, so a tighter crop. Perhaps a wider framing as well.
