Goals Accomplished and Horrible Acts of Book Violence

I am happy to say that I believe I accomplished my break goals, and maybe a little more! I wanted to finish my 3 paintings, and I'm about 2/3 done with each one. I also sewed a bag (with tentacle handles!), made a sample floating shelf, collected 9 other books to mutilate and make into shelves, complied about 100 genre appropriate books to fill the shelves! In addition, I found some other props to fill the "shop" area: two chests, about 7 goblets, a dozen tiny goblets, a magnifying glass made out of a horn, gargoyle bookends, and my plague doctor mask. I made small changes to the logo and started work on a business card and continued working on employee recommendation cards.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased! But I have a lot of work ahead of me. Last weekend I went to the hardware store and bought 9 more L-brackets and cut up all 9 books, so they only need to be screwed in now. I also looked at the molding, and I think I'll be buying some to paint and make into frames.

This weekend, I hope to go to Woodcraft in Parkersburg to get a large wooden oval for the store sign! Because work on that needs to start soon if I'm going to make it myself...
