Someone asked me yesterday why I cut new frames for all of the insides of the windows from mat board. It is simple. They do not come with the Corona Buttercup kit. So I just took the outside window frames and traced them. I had to cut some of them down a bit to make them fit inside.
Here's a first look at the final placement. I glued in the bookcase. I decided that the table for the cash register etc. is going to have to set on a slant so that people can get to the books in the shelf to the side. The chair is borrowed from another scene. I still have to make two chairs like that to go on the opposite side of the tables in front of the bays. That particular table won't have one when I am finished. The door is not officially in place yet. I still have to add the hinges, handle and the grill over the window.
Would you believe that most of the books I have made so far are on the first floor?!? How can that be?
My dad used to have a description of a not very smart person......He said "If you bought him a book, he would eat the cover." I think that there are a big gang of really stupid tiny people sneaking in at night and eating whole books!!
That's got to be where they are going. This has to stop!
On the other side, the bay is pretty much finished except for a couple of pillows. I still have to put the curtain over the front window. Again the chair is borrowed. I am thinking black green for the chairs.
The last photo today is how you can tell if someone is a true miniaturist. How do you like my manicure?
I guess the next task of the day is nail polish remover. Then on to painting the ceiling and readying the second floor for attachment.
See you tomorrow.

I have to say, I've been following this project enthusiastically as I have a book shop to finish as well... I'm not looking forward to making all those books... sigh.
The bay window is so inviting.
