Wisdom Stationery Diaries #3 — One Flower Short 🌼

A little more progress on the Wisdom Stationery Shop! :pencil::books:

So far, I’ve mostly just been putting everything together and watching this little shop slowly take shape. Nothing too dramatic… :joy:

Except for one little problem.

Remember the missing yellow flower from my last post? I still couldn’t find it, so instead of leaving the shop with only three flowers, I decided to make some replacements myself using air-dry clay. :blossom:

And I made two.

I figured that way, they could balance each other out and the handmade ones wouldn’t stand out too much. :joy:

They’re definitely not perfect, but I think they’ll do the job! And honestly, I kind of like that there’s now a tiny bit of my own handiwork mixed into the kit. :heart:

Another little detail sorted, and back to building! :pencil::books::blossom:

… A few minutes later … :hushed_face:

Who knew turning one long sticker into a tiny booklet requires the precision of a surgeon and the patience of a saint? I had neither! :joy:

Thankfully, I was able to pull it off … I think these booklets are acceptable.

Here are a few more pictures of my progress:

And that’s where we are so far! :pencil::books:

Still lots more to put together, but I’m really enjoying how this little shop is coming along. :heart:

I’m terrible at making those little glued-page booklets.

I would rather glue paper in parts than work with an entire sticker sheet because once you fold it the wrong way, it’s stuck and if you try to separate it, it gets deformed or worse, it rips :slightly_smiling_face:

It really is so fun to do and so many details!

Your flowers look fine and fit in there well. I think it was good to do 2. It balances it out.

I love this, you are so talented - I would never have known that those flowers weren’t just last of the kit, they fit in perfectly

The rest of the kit is coming along so nicely, I really like the stationery shop
