We are exploring a bunch of concepts with a new client. One of the themes we are looking at is a idea first explored more than fifteen years ago for a project that never got past preliminary design. When the project languished I tucked those sketches away for further reference. Good ideas never go bad. With this new project now in the exploratory stage I dug up the old material and picked some of my favourite bits and then whipped up this quick concept as a teaser. The project may well proceed or it may possibly go back to the idea file and perhaps surface once again in the future. Time will tell.
Magical mud
The shop was busy today as we troweled our magic concrete mix over four more arches for the bowling alley. There was two buckets of the magical mix left over and so I troweled it onto the post for the Spring Horse Farm sign. Then at just the right moment we sculpted the curing mud into plaster, rocks and bricks. The post mud was made to look like some gnarly twisted wood grain. It's all in a day's work. there was still time for a little designing, a little painting and some welding too.
Like flying to a tropical paradise
We've only been back a few days since the IAAPA EXPO but already we are starting to dream up ideas for projects for people we contacted at the show. Dreaming up cool projects is a whole lot of fun. Anything we can imagine is possible at this early stage. Soon enough, the reality of budgets, timelines and a hundred other things will come into play. For now though it is simply a matter of dreaming, and scribbling down the ideas as fast as they come - and that is pretty quick. It's like flying to a tropical paradise!
