You might be able to make some kind of cast and use that as a mold.  Or, if you're skilled enough, you can simply get a block of clay and cut it.  Another option is that you can make some kind of frame and cover it with clay.  Whatever you do, DON'T MAKE IT OUT OF FOOD.

just make it out of clay or soap. You can carve it out of soap with a knife.

I always found this one interesting:\n\nYou may have heard of the Ancient Greek society called the Pythagoreans (they were followers of Pythagorus - hence the Pythagorean Theorem).  Anyway, rumor says that they used the pentagon as their symbol whenever they wanted to correspond with each other via a letter.  Why did they do this?  Because it is VERY hard to draw a regular pentagon freehand.  Go ahead, try it, I would bet that it looks pretty funny when you're done.\n\nAnyway, they had a secret to drawing it that they only shared with others in the group:  They would take 5 triangles (probably equilateral - but isosceles would work also) and assemble them into the top of a pyramid-like figure.  When you look at the bottom of this figure, it makes a pentagon - and a regular one.  YOu can then trace around the outside edge of this pentagon, take apart your pyramid-like thingie, and you have your seal which others can't re-create.\n\nAnyway, that's the rumor about it... I think it's pretty cool...

Greek Reconstructionism\nhttp://www.hellenion.org/\nhttp://www.sponde.com/\nhttp://www.elaion.org/\n\nThey attempt to honor Greek Gods in a way that reflects the ancient Greek cultures as accurately as possible in our modern world.  Like any other Pagan Reconstructionist, they are an excellent source for accurate information concerning the culture of the peoples who once worshiped their deities.

To Make a diorama:  Get a shoebox or a box of similar size.  Cut out paper to fit the inside walls.  Decorate the background and paste inside of box.  Cut out the figures and place in the box as you desire.  To make the figures stand up use a small strip of paper and attach on side to the back of the figure and another to the side or bottom of the box.  Enjoy.

A statue of the Hindu Goddess Kali. She, for me, represents the feminine aspect of the Divine. Two pieces of art work with eagles. Eagle is one of my more important Totem animals. A turtle shell. Turtle represents the sort of Native American medicine I work with. A stone with a natural hole in it. Like the statue, this represents the feminine aspect of the Universe, and that's important to me. And a pentacle. Which represents, for me, certain aspects of European metaphysics that are important to me because of the Universal truth I found there. ~ Peace & Blessings ~ BTW ... I'm not religious. ;-)

Make a 3d model and print it out using anim8or @ anim8or.com\n\nIf that is not in option, try using a styrafoam block and carve it.
