This is a Harry potter Pop up Book which is my inspiration for my exhibition work. I used to do pop up card before and I really enjoy it. For pop up book is very challenging for me because when I started to work on it, I found that it's harder than I think. It need a lot of detail and need to spend a lot of time even one page. I want to make my work become a good pice of work but yes! it's really hard for me.
