Title: Library Display
Post by: skypurr on July 16, 2012, 22:52:46

Our local library in Dumfries asked if I would put a small scene in one of their display cabinets prior to the exhibition, so I set it up on Saturday. 
The cabinet is only about a foot wide and could only be accessed from each end so I was limited in what I could do.

I decided the easiest thing would be from the Howarts display, something that I could take back a couple of days before the exhibition starts and add to the diorama without much trouble.

I therefore made up a small "Care of magical creatures" lesson with Hagrid, students and the thestral and Dolores Umbridge (Yes to all HP fans I know that they are from two different books  ::) )
I added a couple of posters, a short description of Playmobil and the exhibition and a few photos from last year.

With the lighting in the cabinet and the reflection it looks a bit dark, but thought you'd like to see what I did.

Thankfully they are in a locked cabinet!  :)

It looks wonderful, Elaine.  I'm sure it will generate a lot of interest for the exhibition.  You do so many wonderful things for your community.  :love:

I agree, a lot of people do not know what the possibilities of Playmobil are... probably we can expect new members
on the forum soon, all coming from your town!

That looks great, Elaine, a really good advert for the exhibition in Kirkbean.

Missed this when you posted Elaine but what a great idea - linking the world of Playmobil and books. I love the scene.
