The Shining Carpet Curtains have arrived
Quick update from bavastudio, I’ve had some custom curtains made for the diorama window, and I think they’re pretty awesome. I got the idea from the fact that the carpet in the Grady Twins hallway scene is actually not the iconic carpet, but the fairly drab grey and blue carpet in the help wing of the Overlook Hotel.
I was using a cheap area rug with the classic design to cover-up the window between the Creepshow and The Shining dioramas. I liked the effect and figured having real curtains that could open, close, and even festoon for each of the dioramas would be pretty cool, so there you have it. The bav-o-rama now has official stage curtains to finish the effect of the coolest diorama this side of the Atlantic.

Also, one more image to provide some context of where and how the bav-o-rama sites on a little side street in Trento.

“One day, lad, all this will be yours!”
“What, the curtains
“No. Not the curtains, lad. All that you can see, stretched out over the dioramas and the shops of this lane! This’ll be your kingdom, lad.”
So who are your neighbors? What is Blender— a wine shop? And what is Cialli- a store front for the Mob? And what do they think of the bavastudio?
Blender is a vape shop and Cirilli a bakery, both are awesome folks and they have come to accept the bavastudio is an oddity. I really like being amongst shopkeepers, there is a schedule of work that’s healthy for that sense of showing up and getting work done.
Also, I am amassing an awesome set of tools that I can lend to folks 🙂
