Emily Snee | I made a Discworld "Book Nook"! A ✨Magical✨ Nighttime Forest Bookshelf Insert with GLOWING STARS ⭐ @EmilySnee | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I made a book nook/book insert *thing*! I had no special model making supplies or experience making any kind of diorama or miniatures, so everything in this was a DIY! And I made almost everything you can see in the nook out of foam clay and household objects!

I wanted to pay homage to my favourite Terry Pratchett Discworld books and my favourite character from them, Tiffany Aching. I’m really happy with how it came out and really proud of myself for making something this -cool- and this *pretty* with minimal materials. Seriously, apart from foam clay and a few tiny pieces of fake plant, I only used cardboard, paper, wire, paint, a teeny bit of sand, thread, PVA glue and hot glue (LOOOOTS of hot glue)!

I LOVE that the stars glow, and it’s been so nice in the evening to pop on the little fairy lights and see the stars inside the little world I made twinkling away 😊
