The painting crew is down to the fine details as we finish the last items for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Gretna, Nebraska. The fun dimensional sign for Tim’s Runaway Grain Train is complete save for the lettering blends and glazes which will be applied tomorrow. Stay tuned to get a peek at the finished sign…
Rub-a-dub-tub
The entire team had a little time on Friday between coats of paint to mix and apply sculpting epoxy to the Bubble’s Barn sign which will soon be on the way to Stocker’s Farms in Washington state. The sign features Bubbles the pig, enjoying a bubble bath in an antique clawfoot bathtub. While the crew mixed the sculpting epoxy and applied the prime coat to the tub, I worked on sculpting Bubbles. This is already a fun project!
Dragon metamorphosis
This past week the blended coats of paint were completed on Celeste the dragon who will soon be on the way to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Gretna, Nebraska. The painting crew applied the second glaze on the tail section. This coming week they’ll continue the work on the balance of the looping dragon. This piece is much larger than the photos indicate and measures just under ten feet tall at the top of the center loop and on top of the horns. This should be an unforgettable place to grab a selfie.
