While work and finishing up on the half-scale garage is still ongoing, I finally finished the last few steps on the Plaza de Los Muertos - (Fsolis/Amazon) Day of the Dead (or technically Plaza of the Dead) Book Nook.
(*Click photos for full size.)
All the colors and the skeleton figures attracted me to this one. I was going to put in some actual skeletons but didn't see where, so I skipped that as the figures they provide are rather cute. But I did add more 3D effects like flowers, pots, and all kinds of skulls on the visible side.
I had to take some leeway as I couldn't fit the plastic on because of my non-flat additions, so a piece of plastic cut from a binder pocket insert worked well, especially since it is a bit flexible.
I also used a piece of thin acrylic cut from a poster frame front to fit the front of the nook. I've used that plastic before to make cheap dust covers for other dollhouses.

Fun project! Now on to.... ?
I did see someone else's project that gave me an idea for something small (half-scale) I'd set aside that will be a good in-between project. Slightly spooky! (Of course!) Stay tuned for a preview!
