Beautiful (truck) body!

Today we made great progress on our Cap-it project. The last of the major sculpting was done in less than three hours. Now only final assembly and paint are to be finished.

The sculpting was enjoyable and fun. Kirsten easily kept up to me as I added the finicky detail and it came together quickly.  The truck is full of character and looks to be well used - as a four wheel drive should. The final paint will reflect this same aged and timeless genre.

I can hardly wait to see it all together!

Slow but steady... and then BAM!

Sometimes it seems like a project languishes indefinitely, with little progress, even though work has been steady. All the little details need to be done in order and sometimes progress seem slow. The Cap-it truck signs are just such a project.

Each day we've worked on them but they didn't appear to be near finish... until today. All the bits and pieces suddenly came together today as I test fit everything together in preparation for final paint and detail. 

In an instant the project looked near completion and I liked what I saw. Tomorrow we will do the last of the sculpting and we will get a handle on the bulk of the painting. By late this week we will be doing the final bits.

This has been both challenging and fun - my favorite kind of project!

It is official!

After countless requests and much deliberation we have decided to launch a new workshop for those interested. This SCULPTING MAGIC Workshop will take our guests on a hands-on journey into the exciting world of adding three dimensional elements to their signs. It will be three jam-packed days of learning. We'll weld armatures, apply and learn to sculpt various textures into Fiberglass-reinforced-concrete. Each student will build an armature, then sculpt a three dimensional project, following me as I break each step of the process down into manageable bits.

It is my aim to change the way you think about sculpture and dimensional signs forever. We'll tour local projects that demonstrate these same methods on a larger scale. It will be three days packed with high energy learning and fun!
