After my chores in town and yet another mowing of the lawn, I spent the afternoon signing, numbering and wrapping the prints for the Hazelnut Inn. With each stay in the Hazelnut Inn suites, guests are presented with one of these custom limited edition prints. It was one more step of many to get ready for the opening of the Copper Crown suite.
Letters ready to paint
Jay has now finished cleaning up the sculpted concrete DOWNEYS letter faces with a wire brush and scraper to ready them for paint next week. Each letter face will be painted and glazed with a different colour. I can hardly wait to see them painted and lined back up in a row! Stay tuned…
Skinning a horse
I still have a little welding to do on Kraay’s Tire Horse entry, but it was a day at the design table instead. This allowed the crew to get a good start on attaching the diamond lath without fear of being burned by sparks while I was in the studio. Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll pick up where I left off. The shape of the tire horse becomes more evident as we proceed, and by the middle to end of next week, it should be ready for sculpting. Stay tuned…
