We’ve begun work on an exciting new project - two large trees for Catoro - a cat cafe in Vancouver. The trees will have cubby holes for the cats to snuggle in. The incredible challenge of this project is that we have to unload the pieces in a nearby parking lot, roll them around the block to the front of the building and then fit the pieces through a regular man door. Then we have to stand trees up inside the building - all with hand tools we can fit through that same narrow door. The trees will be assembled in halves on both sides of a wall. We have things pretty much figured out but we are going tol do a practice run in our shop to make sure we have the bugs worked out before we transport the pieces to Vancouver.
Time for an ice cold treat!
My favourite kind of sign is one you simply can’t walk by without giving it a good look. Better yet is a sign that grabs attention - even if you approach it from the rear. The Lickity sign does all that and much, much more. It’s silly, over the top. colourful and plain old fun. Reading the words doesn’t provide much information but looking at it instantly tells all you need to know. It’s time for some ice cream!
First of the name plaques
Although our Fall Sculpture Magic Workshop is still a little more than six months distant we have already begun preparations for the event. As per our practice, each person who attends will receive a custom made name plaque. I am working on the designs as I am able and then as we carve larger projects they are routed from the off-cut material. Working on the name plaques now gives us a big head start on preparations and uses up materials that might otherwise go to waste. We still have three seats left for the workshop and I’d love to make a name plaque for you.
