Things are getting a lot more colourful in the shop as the paint and glazes go onto the completed features of Hazelnut Inn. The electrical tower got it's glaze today. The effect was subtle but effective as they started at the top and worked their way down. The glaze was a deep school bus yellow as they brushed a thick coat on, but toned down as it was towelled it off judiciously. It won't be long until the three large pieces of this feature are ready to be pushed out of the shop to make room for more.
Obelisk of the day
Today was obelisk day in the shop. The mostly toppled, Egyptian relic will be placed in the explorer's garden (North Star suite) of the Hazelnut Inn. It will serve double duty as an ancient artifact and a bench. Photographs of real obelisks served as a guiding reference as we carved. But guests who are really observant will find the story of Hazelnut Inn hidden in a few of the symbols - just for fun! :) As we carved the symbols this afternoon I read and translated each symbol for the crew... I suspect that they didn't believe my 'true' version of events... but we laughed a lot!
Hazelnut Inn scale model complete
Becke and Jenessa put the final details to the Hazelnut Inn scale model. It's a real beauty! The model will be a great reference as we build the inn! While the model was a lot of fun to construct the real thing will be much more so!
