it seems greece is not as recognizable as i thought, or perhaps i’ve been to
my local greek restaurant more often than i should. the walls are plastered
with prints of “traditional” greek architecture, most of which appear to be
santorini - blue domes, round white buildings, bell towers and stairways of
dizzying heights. few in my lug recognized my first attempt at micro. what
does this say? terrible builder of micro or she doesn’t cook and eats at
greek restaurants a lot?
i believed it to be a relatively simple project considering the domes, arches
and curved pieces available, but recreating the steep, winding stairs was not
satisfactory since surrounding the jumper plate steps was next to impossible
if they did not sit at right angles. also frustrating was trying to recreate
a suitable cross for the church dome. scale would not allow me to use most
pieces, so i did without. the most fun was finishing it off with the fishing
boat. true to my mocs, there are no people around. everyone is in church.
enjoy santorini.

Well done Deborah! I still think my favourite part is the boat. Throw a little
SNOT into a MOC and it gets me all excited. I especially like the Clickits stud
joiner as life preserver. You know how much I love Clickits. ;)
