Phoebe has been totally into art of every description since she was old enough to hold a crayon. Her skills are truly amazing. Today, we were absolutely delighted to hear that she has been accepted into an art school as she advances to grade nine. Phoebe's spending money inevitably goes towards art supplies. Today, she brought home some face painting supplies to learn a new skill. Juniper happily volunteered to be Phoebe's first customer as long as she could be a pirate!
Soon to be green
As we wait for the final official permissions in order to proceed with the construction of Hazelnut Inn we are hard at work on the project as we are able. The septic field is now installed and the final grading of the backyard is complete. Just before quitting time today we began the planting of the seed for the 8,000 square foot backyard lawn. This will be the private area of the Sawatzky residence. The picture is taken from the direction of our studio windows where we will be able to watch Peter and Hailey's children play as we work. Very soon this area will be a lush green lawn.
Time traveller
For the 2019 Sign Invitational I am building a whimsical building which houses a clock factory. Numerous details will be incorporated into the tall sculpture to both surprise and delight those who take the time to look closely. There will be a loading dock at the back of the factory which offers endless opportunity to add plentiful and fun details. One such item will be the clock maker's delivery truck which is dubbed the 'Time traveller'. It is fashioned after a 1940's Divco milk truck - hot rodded just a little for quicker deliveries of course.
