Next backlog papercraft - another for Plated Prisoner!

Ahhh this was such a fun little vignette for the second book. I really enjoyed the banter between Rip and Auren - the story really took off with these two for me (though Gleam just wiped the floor with the first two books, omg).

So Auren doesn’t have long hair like this in the books, but it was a nice embellishment for the bird swing. It also acts as a slight nod to the Rapunzel-esque situation Auren finds herself in; plucked from her ‘tower’ and rescued by a man covered in thorns. (HAH!) That’s if you could define rescue as strong-arming her off of her perch that she’s stubbornly clinging to. (hence, hinch)

I really love how I could render Auren’s ribbons in papercraft fully this time - subtly taking shape of a birds wings. So. Many. Symbolisms. Y'ALL. I can’t with this series. I already had something in mind for the third book (previewed a while back with a MAJOR spoiler for Gleam). It’s pretty likely this train will keep going. ✨
