Now there is color!

When we left for our very quick trip to the World of Concrete show in Las Vegas the shop was crammed full of grey concrete features. The crew's task while we were gone was to apply the three base coats of color and that they did. A number of pieces even received they final glazes and once dry were moved out into the yard to wait for their turn to be loaded into the sea containers. 

By the end of tomorrow more pieces will be ready to be pushed out into the drive, making way for more grey to be moved in.

Hailey's GREAT idea

I love to draw as a way to pass time when I'm traveling. Wedged into an airplane seat or lounging in an airport I find once the ideas start flowing I can fill a bunch of pages in my sketchbook in a hurry. If I'm on an airplane any reference material is far away forcing me to draw on the fly. Bad pun, but true. The best way to draw is loose and fast, exploring and refining ideas as I go on successive pages of my sketchbook. Peter was sitting in the same row and working furiously on the same project.  We were dueling with an idea for the last sign for a ride up at Cultus called the 'Round-Up'. Hailey won the draw with the idea of a sheriff rattle snake, complete with six shooters and a tin star. Working from that idea and Peter's sketches the final rendering was quickly put together.

This one is going to be a fun project!
