- Backdrop Diorama 1,2 or 3 Walls (no ceiling)
A miniature piece housed on a platform flanked by one, two or three walls is commonly referred to as a "backdrop diorama." These are often used to display small-scale scenes with one defined vertical backdrop to set the scene while leaving the rest open for viewing. A backdrop diorama, unlike an enclosed shadow box, allows the chaise to be positioned at an angle, creating a more dynamic arrangement and giving the scene a sense of openness and breathing room. A backdrop diorama has no ceiling.

Materials Used :
Various materials are used to achieve the closest match for the item(s) being made.
Wood, resin, PLA, cardstock, printed designs, fabric, beads, and more are used.
Items like metallic objects are made to look like metal, chrome, or copper using paint and aging techniques. No actual metals are used.
Pottery items are either made with a 3D printer and painted or made of modeling clays.
As every item is made to resemble its counterpart in real life, please understand that the pieces are handmade, and slight variations in the size, color, and material should be expected.
Materials used are made to resemble the objects and a 100% match is impossible.

Let customers speak for us
Working with NC was an incredibly meaningful and rewarding experience. After losing our beloved cat, we wanted to memorialize the bond we shared in a way that felt deeply personal. NC did exactly that— and more.
If you want a realistic representation in oil, I would recommend NC without reservation.
Amazing look and great quality
Very cool accessory. Looks exactly like the pictures.
I have had Enzie paint 3 of my cat's and I have been so very delighted with each portrait. They are vibrant and warm and capture each cat's personality and charm. I am entirely pleased and would recommend her wholeheartedly!
Exactly as described and shipped fast! Thank you! A+++++ seller!
My balconies arrived in perfect condition and the timing of delivery was exceptional! This was one of the best items I’ve added to my dollhouse design. Thank you!
Nice balcony fence but i only used the sides
This little Santa is so adorable and made with great quality. Fast shipping and seller is A++++
Great communication and service! Thank you!
So cute and perfect for my craft project!
My husband loved the portrait of his horse. Enzie was very easy to work with and the painting turned out beautiful.
This mailbox will look perfect on my dollhouse, thank you!
Perfect such attention to detail and seller was great
I wanted to give my granddaughter an oil painting of her dog named Bo. I wanted an oil painting as she has had her dog since she was two and she is now seventeen. After searching I saw the website for Enzie. I filled out the order form and was very surprised as
I got a replay within an hour. I had a lot of questions all of which were answered right away. During the painting process I as well
as my family members were able to see the progress that was being made on the painting as well as a short video of the painting as it was being done. I ordered a 10 X 10 painting. I was so surprised when Enzie upgraded my painting to a 12 X 12 and no charge.
I was so happy as the larger size looks a lot better than the smaller size would have looked. In another month I am going to let her
do another painting. The finished painting came to me protected in a box that kept it secure and I received it in two days after
it was shipped.
Quality is great! They feel as the real utensils but only tiny. They came quickly too.
