Progress on the Sign Invitational Challenge piece was rapid today as I got a hand from Grant. He's an awesome (and very fast) mixer of sculpting epoxy. Because of the volume of material I had to work with I tackled some large areas. I want to incorporate as many textures as possible into the entire piece. Today, it was all about the woodgrains of the trestle uprights and the stone textures of the cliff face and column supports. While most of the big areas are now under control I am excited to get back to the small details. In the next two weeks this project will be set aside while other things are happening. But I'll soon be back at it to take the project to it's completion.
Sproing!
Today I got to spend a little time sculpting the little horse on a spring for the Spring Horse Farm sign. It was a lot of fun! He has yet to sprout some wings as he is a pegasus. The sign will be ready for Becke to start the paint tomorrow. Stay tuned...
Full to the brim once more
Just last week we sent out a fifty-two foot semi trailer full of finished pieces. Just a few days later the shop is already bursting at the seams once more. The bulk of the space is occupied by more large pieces for NEBs Fun World,. Tucked into the smaller areas are other projects as well. The shop is busy with all kinds of things going on.... welding, grinding, lathing, carpentry, sculpting and painting. It's a very busy place and full to the brim once more.
