Beauty's Library: Beauty and the Beast

My most time-consuming sculpture to date with 243 individually made books. Each book has a real title on the spine, and the library is organized by author. 17 of the books can actually be removed and a quote from that book read inside. Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and Chip all watch on as Belle and the Beast share their iconic first dance beneath the chandelier. This sculpture was made out of a collection of fairytales that included Beauty and the Beast.

Oh, and of course—the ladder slides as well.
