As the base colour goes on the IBEX dino sign, it looks better all the time. With two coats of light brown on the next one will be the blended coat. Then the glazes will really make it pop. Stay tuned…
Almost a bulls eye
One of our smaller projects this year was a giant apple that the folks at Ramseyer mounted to a large target on the side of their barn. Inside, guests can use an airgun to fire real-sized apples at targets. The apple we crafted measures just under four feet across. It is made of hand-carved fibreglass-reinforced concrete and hangs on a custom-made steel bracket.
Pumpkin ride
One of the fun pieces we designed and crafted for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch was this giant pumpkin carriage. It is made from sculpted concrete over a welded steel frame. It was designed to roll - just far enough to get it into place, as the path to its display space in the Storybook Land was too narrow for the crane and too far to reach by lifting over the nearby fences and trees. Although it was a tough challenge, our plan worked perfectly, and guests to the farm continue to enjoy taking a picture with their families in the giant pumpkin.
