Toad - front side

Over the last week, I’ve been working on my entry for the Sign Invitational in my spare time, and it is beginning to take shape. The Viking toad is pretty much sculpted on the front side. I really enjoyed the sculpting process thus far and am looking forward to beginning the paint soon. Stay tuned…

Garden centrepiece

The Copper Crown’s private garden has come a long way in the last few weeks. The sculpted concrete work is now finished with two coats of paint. One more blend coat will make it ready for the final glazes. The pool under the drawbridge was also completed today. The last project of the work week was to hang the Copper Crown crest over the fireplace. Next week, the crew will finish the painting and build the forms for the patio sidewalks. The concrete is ordered for the latter part of the month, as it needs to be scheduled for when no guests are enjoying the other suites. Becke is already busy gathering a wonderful collection of plants and shrubs, which will transform it into a beautiful oasis for guests to enjoy.

Four done

Four of the sword/candlestick light fixtures are now ready for paint, and four others, plus the three large chandeliers, are in progress. The metal pieces are already cut and ready to assemble. With the practice of four completed, it should go quicker from here. Stay tuned…
