2. How the
Dream
Began

3. Once upon a time,
in a kingdom far, far away,
lived a little girl who wanted
to be a princess…

4. She liked playing dress-up,
making houses out of blocks,
and playing with her dolls.
The pinker her dress,
the better too!

5. She would make up stories as she played,
turning her dolls into lords and ladies,
and plushies into fearsome monsters.
Her room was the kingdom,
and she, the princess.

6. As the little girl grew up,
she outgrew all the pink dresses…
but she never stopped
loving the stories.

7. She grew up to love books
movies, and RPGs…
Fantasy grew close to her
heart.

8. So when the opportunity came,
she knew she had to combine her
childhood love and her current love…
into a passion project.

9. To make her DREAM CASTLE,
that will please both the little girl
and the fantasy nerd.

10. Making the
Dream a
Reality

11. Conceptualizing
In order to build her castle, she collected ideas
and took inspiration from many cool sources.

12. Conceptualizing
She drew, and drew, and drew some more,
remembering to incorporate the different
features of the different castles.

13. The Mock-up
With some old folder and some masking tape,
the first mock-up was born.

14. Building
It was time to build the castle. With the right
dimensions and a magical program called
Inkscape, she created all the different pieces.
Front Pieces
Tower (x2)
Base
Floor (x2)Sides
Extra Pieces
Stairs (x68)
Crests (x10)
(not to scale;
image can be
changed)

15. Building
With the magic Laser Cutter, a mallet, some
temporary tape, and all purpose glue, she put
the castle together. The castle began to take form.

16. Details
She then added the extra floors, some wall décor,
spiraling stairs, and outer bricks!

17. The Dream Castle
After a lot of hard work, the castle she dreamed
about finally became a reality.
