After my progress this past week, I really only have to add the roof before I can start on details. I prolly could have built the structure faster using tape or something, but I have learned that quicker does not always equal better. In fact, it usually doesn't mean better. I worked on pasting the paper to the cardboard. I also secured the top part that the roof will attach to. As soon as I get the roof attached, I will begin adding the windows and mailbox flag. I will also work on the door design for the opening of the mailbox. There are a few places where the paper doesn't fully cover the cardboard or the glue is peeking through, especially at the vertices. I have yet to decide how I am going to address these imperfections, but I know that I absolutely will address them. I want to make sure that even though the quality of my materials isn't exception, the quality of my craftsmanship is as good as I can make it. I think I will probably paint the inside black, but I may not paint it at all. I definitely need to cover the back wall with a piece of paper because you can see the design from the cardboard box on it. I hope to finish the roof in the next few days and then spend Thanksgiving break and the following week of class to add the details and really bring it all together.
