Building the set

With all our props, wallpaper and paint bought and collected we started to build our sets. Firstly we started to strip all the excess wallpaper from our boards which had been left on from previous sets we then started to construct our boards using screws and drills to create a standing set of four walls, this part proved to be rather difficult and involved heavy team work, myself, Bryony, Pheobe and Ellen had to work well together in order to get the boards up safely. Once the boards were up we then began pasting our wall paper on bit by bit, once the first wall was up we started to paint our bloody roses on, half way through constructing the walls of the set we realised we wouldn't have enough paper to fill the last wall, we went back to Wilkinsons only to find that roll had been discontinued, we were all rather disheartened but decided to go back and buy another four rolls of wallpaper and to keep on going. Once we had finished putting up our new wall paper we realised this option of paper looked much better aesthetically and were all pleased with the end result. We then started to drip red paint from the roses to create a bloody effect.
