I was interviewed not long ago for BBC Radio 3 about Frances and her Nutshells. The entire episode is on dioramas - Between the Ears, Diorama Drama. The Nutshell section starts at about 24:50. I love how much the UK is waking up to Frances and the questions I get asked from the UK - so thoughtful and full of wonderment toward Frances Glessner Lee.
I gave the producers of the show a bunch of photos to use, but unfortunately they didn't add an online gallery. I think it is truly difficult to do justice to the Nutshells with out seeing them, so I've added my photos of Barn - the spotlight Nutshell. Interestingly, this was the first Nutshell created. Frances Glessner Lee's grandson Charlie told me how he repurposed the wood from an actual rundown barn on the Rocks estate to work on it with the carpenter Ralph Mosher and his grandmother.
What do you think of the BBC's take on what could have happened in Barn?
