The drawings were hidden until 1975 when the then-director of the Medici Chapels, Paolo Dal Poggetto, was trying to find a new space for the museum exit. A trapdoor under a cabinet led to the room, which was filthy from housing slack coal for two decades. When the walls were finally stripped of two layers of plaster, the museum discovered the artworks.

this feels like something Dan Brown made up, but no

Getting back into my lane...

I keep seeing this as being candy colored, so gonna roll with it

All the holly-jolly decor is on the way/already here, so I think that'll be a good theme to work with

Didn't really expect this would be taking on a holiday theme, but the candy canes seemed like they'd be a good addition (and easily trimmable thanks to just being plastic)

Once this layer of clay dries, I'll start adding in the other bits to fill it out

First pass with the artificial snow~

I'm wary of going too heavy with the stuff because I've never used it before. Bit like trying to wrangle marshmallow fluff. Seems like it could be easy to accidentally coat her entire cap and obliterate her spots.

Let's see what needs more of it after it dries
