Bramble Bakery

Today has been a MAKING DAY! I made the 3D model of Betty and then she jumped onto my shoulder and told me to get busy making more pies, clay food and to refurb her bakery. She's quite demanding but she's right.

I made a big batch of clay food for the bakery, though I need to make more storage/display space for this inside the shop (boxes, trays, shelves). 

I added awnings to the front of the shop (I've always wondered what they were called!) but it looks very shabby as I painted over the second floor windows behind them that I didn't want anymore. I might need to remake the whole bakery as it is all a bit shabby but is that the handmade feel I want?
The paint is also uneven and just generally messy! Hike up the refinement, maybe time for Bramble Bakery take two?

The grass I was using underneath has got messy from the paint on the building so I'll need to touch that up before I get any better photos... also need to start drawing and planning how Whistle-Stop Thistle will look as a street/town. Will there be pavements? Cobbled streets? Grass everywhere?

Testing some lighting - look into buying some small lights/dollshouse lights for better photos. The mini studio lights I used here were too bright and big, I'd need some really small lights to work with the scale of the room. Also some street lights too?
