The Gold Mole Mining Company’s machine is now wired and ready for its sculpted concrete skin. The form is complete and looks simple at this stage. It is the many details which we will sculpt into the surface that will make the machine come to life. The rocks we sculpted a few days ago will be strewn around the machine to make it appear to have busted through the golfing green from deep below.
A tower roof!
With each passing day the Hazelnut Inn becomes a little more complete. This day the roof trusses on the North Star tower were put in place and the hand framing begun to finish things off. The tower suddenly became much more finished and a whole lot grander, as we had envisioned from the start. A passerby talked to Peter and commented how awesome and artistic the building was. She was so very impressed. As she turned to leave she offered one last comment. She nodded towards our house next door and said it looked not bad as well. I’ve long predicted that the Hazelnut Inn will make our house disappear. That is happening already!
The day got off to a rocky start
It was rock sculpting day in the shop. The crew carved sixteen beautiful rocks in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are for the gold mine feature for Loco Landing Adventure Park in Penticton.
