Bookend: modeling
With the armature ready, it's time to model the bookcase.
I found this the most frustrating part. I wanted to create eveything
from clay and add nice wood grooves to the bookcase,
so I had to add a layer of Fimo to every part of the armature.

With hindsight, it might have been easier to leave the cardboard armature as is, paint it in a nice woody color and get right to creating books and scrolls and stuff. |
When you're done adding a layer of Fimo, or took the short track, it's time to start filling the bookcase. Here's a list of items I've added in my bookcase:
- Books (of course :-))
- Candle, with some wax dripping off it
- Bottles
- Scrolls
- Scroll-cases
- Key-ring
- Casket
- Ink-pot with goose-feather pen
- Eyeball! (nice to put that somewhere, see if anyone spots it)
And below the bookcase was some room for bigger stuff like:
- Big books
- Trunk
- Mirror
- Big jar
- Sack
And not to forget: some bananas.
When I get the time, I'll explain every item in detail.
