The barrels and boxes for the Motiongate project in Dubai were looking pretty good last week as the second and third glazes were applied. Over the long weekend I spent a little time cleaning, prepping and applying the primers to the galvanized metal parts so that Jenessa and Angie could continue their work today. And that they did with great style. The painting of the metal parts and the last layer of dark glaze really added weight to the bottom of the boxes and barrels. One more day with the brushes should polish things off beautifully! It is hard to believe this is all carved concrete! Well done!!!
Time for us to practice
It's only two and a half weeks away from our first Sculpting Magic Workshop. We've felt the excitement of everyone who's coming. We are excited too! We've been busy preparing samples and getting everything ready. We'll be switching things up a little in these workshops and that meant we needed to create some new demonstration pieces as well. Our primary goal is to pass on as much knowledge and experience as possible and send each of the participants home with things they can use in their work. It's going to be a lot of fun!
New easter ride
As Juniper begins to grow up its time to kick in the grampa plan. My philosophy is not to spoil grandchildren of course. That would be bad. Spoiling would involve giving little Juniper everything she asked for. But of course if I can think of something first then it is open season.
Janis & I were on a date recently (shopping at Costco) and came across a beautiful little convertible-push buggy. It looked a whole lot like NON-SPOILING to me and besides, easter was right around the corner. Juniper agreed.
