Today was a day for travel as I journeyed from home to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska. I had a stopover in Denver, where I snapped this picture of the beautiful terminal building. I arrived early enough to do a quick tour of the farm to size up tomorrow’s challenge. It is going to be a busy three days. Stay tuned…
Pirate dino in colour
The Sign Invitational is still eight months distant, but I am making great progress on my pieces. I know from experience that if I wait until closer to the deadline, we will be super busy, and then I will have to rush. Instead, I add a little detail or paint to the pieces when I have a few minutes to spare. Three of my dinosaur-themed signs are now fully assembled and sculpted and are in the painting stage. The furthest along is the pirate dinosaur that will go to X-Edge Tools, one of our sponsors. The base coats are now in place, and I’m ready to begin the glazing. For anyone who wishes to enter the friendly competition, we would love to have you give it a go. Just drop me an email, and I’ll send you the guidelines.
Coastal Enterprises dino
Today, I finally got the chance to sculpt the little dino perched on top of the Coastal Enterprises sign. Coastal Enterprises, the maker of Precision Board, has been a longtime sponsor and supporter of the Sign Invitational. He’s going to look great all painted up! Stay tuned…
