We love installations! Since we don’t do very many local installations, Jay and Matt were excited to be included. As we packed the brooms and tools onto the worksite an instant crowd gathered. Word had got out that the brooms were being installed. Amber, from Witchy Boo and one of the 1881 owners made sure they were perfectly placed. Then Jay and Matt drilled the holes, hammered in the anchor bolts and tighten things down. We masked off the concrete to touch up the paint on the supports and then it was time for a first official test flight. Amber supplied the witch hats and the brooms worked perfectly as expected.
Mice - a pair
While we would love to think of everything as we create our designs, the truth is that as we build, we sometimes dream up creative additions to our projects. Not adding these changes would make the project less than it could be - which wouldn’t do. The mouse on the exterior of the clock was in our initial design and was a given. But as we were welding up the pendulum on the Hickory Dickory Dock clock, we thought a second mouse riding it back and forth as it moves would be a clever addition - the punch line of our tale. The clock now sports its first coat of paint. Stay tuned to see it come together…
Painting the clock
Peter has just a little more sculpting on the small mouse riding the pendulum of the Hickory Dickory Dock clock, which will soon head to the Storybook Land at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska. This week, Jay will apply layers of paint onto the clock. It is quickly coming to life! Stay tuned…
