On Friday morning, the crew trowelled on a super-thick coat of fibreglass-reinforced concrete, and once it had set enough, Jay and I carved the gnarly wood texture to make it look like an ancient tree. The crew will sculpt the moon this coming week to make the Howl at the Moon sign ready for paint. This will be a fine-looking sign when it is fully painted. Stay tuned…
Almost ready to fly
There is a delightful store called Witchy Boo, in District 1881 in Chilliwack that is very popular with visitors and locals alike. During a recent visit we noticed that something seemed to be missing out front. We suggested that a ‘flying’ broom for visitors to climb aboard for a selfie would be just the ticket. Our initial proposal was a tandem broomstick that had a pair of seats and handlebars but on measuring the space it was decided two broomsticks positioned side by side was a better fit and just as good a photo opportunity. We agreed and today we got to sculpt the first of two broomsticks. These are going to look fabulous when we paint them up. Stay tuned…
Clock armature
The clock armature for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch’s storybook land is well underway. The big pieces are now in place, and we are down to the pencil rod. Next week, the frame will be completed, and the crew will begin applying the diamond lath. The piece is already looking a lot like the concept art. Stay tuned…
