The boys did their second day of sculpting on the Hazelnut Inn gate tower. Peter decided to go with brickwork from top to bottom rather than using a mix of large stones and bricks like on the second tower. They should be able to finish it tomorrow, making it ready for paint next week. Stay tuned…
Early concept art
I am currently transferring the files I had saved decades ago from CD’s to cloud storage. Many of the CD’s are no longer readable. Some of the drawings, although now digitized, were hand-drawn on paper back in the early 1990’s. This concept was an early version of a mini-golf course that I was dreaming of back then. We had wanted to build it on Vancouver Island, but it wasn’t to be until we constructed a more advanced version called Giggle Ridge at Cultus Lake ten years later.
New sign on the gate
We’ve long had to keep our gates closed to prevent random uninvited visitors from driving into the yard. Yarrow Central Road is a main artery to get to the Lower Mainland’s favourite lake, and in summertime it is often very busy. Many who drive by are intrigued by our unique house and are curious about what we do. Often they believe our place is a tourist attraction. We certainly don’t mind those who stop to get a closer look or even grab a picture from the sidewalk. Security and safety concerns keep our property off-limits except for those whom we invite to our studio. Our new sign was installed on our gate today, giving our visitors a little more information.
