Although Henry was nowhere to be seen today, two people were available to mix sculpting epoxy. I decided to press on without Henry and finish sculpting the cannon. It turned out great, and now we are ready for the painting process to begin. Since it is a long weekend and the kids get a break from school by the weekend finish the cannon should be a lot more colourful. Stay tuned…
Flamed cannon
With only three weeks until the Yarrow Days parade, it is time to get down to finishing things off. Today, we started applying the final coat of sculpt to the cannon. Henry, the art director of this project, liked the idea of embossed flames and wants it to feature bright colours, but with an aged look. We made great progress today with more planned over the long weekend. Stay tuned…
A fun look back
This evening, I came across this fun video that was captured by TJ, one of our workers. The video was produced ten years ago, as we worked on a project bound for Trinidad. It gives a wonderful and fun look into a typical day in the workshop. Ten years later, not much has changed—except for the projects we are working on. You’ll see some familiar faces, but many of our wonderful crew have moved on to their dreams since then, too. https://youtu.be/zPGV_LRIBOM?si=QA3ugaEDlokPonqH
