i want my box to have a bookshelf just like the ones from the architecture exhibition at the V&A i also think it will help with giving a better perspective on size

first i painted the inside on the lid different colours as my bookshelf after i had made in three shelve pieces to hold up the books.

because it's on a canvas i can't place in real size books so i want to make an optical illusion that makes you think its a full sized shelf. so the idea is to saw off the spines of books i no longer want and glue them on the shelf.

sawed approximately 80 books and it has taken forever but the shelf afterwards was better than i could have expected and really colourful just like i wanted. it looks like a real shelf from a distance.
