The Corner Bookstore is almooost done. I’m doing my finishing touches but not without challenges.
I had to do lots of sanding and painting. It was a challenge fitting the tabs of the foundation and the orange balcony. I had to muscle through to fit them together.
I painted the white statue to make it look like it’s made of marble, otherwise it’s just going to look flat.
I LOVE making books!
I rearranged things around and even added my personal touches! I can’t wait to show you the final reveal
