Today, the sculpting crew started on the next wall section for NEB’s Fun World. They began with the hardest section, which was up on a scaffold and included detailed wood grains of the top beam and intricate corbels. There was also a fair amount of upside-down work, which always takes time and patience. Tomorrow, they will tackle the rest of the wall section, and although it has much more surface area and equal detail, it will go faster. Stay tuned…
Mountain view
We live near the top end of the Fraser River delta, about sixty miles from the coast. This means mountains surround us on three sides. This time of year, they are sporting the first snow that won’t melt until Spring. Of all the local peaks, my favourite is, to the south, Mount Slesse, which tops out at 7969 feet. Although it is not the tallest, it is the most spectacular!
Glowing beacon
The Hazelnut Inn positively glows when you drive by - day or night. It is purposefully designed to stand out and be calming simultaneously - seemingly opposite goals. The secret is the warm, welcoming colours combined with soft lighting at the warm end of the spectrum. There is a deliberate play of warm colours, often alongside cool ones. And as good as it feels from the curb, inside, the magic multiplies many times over. It has to be experienced to truly feel the magic! www.hazelnutinn.com
