Today, Matt & I sculpted the second twisted log to ready Kraay’s barn chandelier for paint next week. I’ll add the bird’s feet just before the paint begins. The birds are getting their first of three coats of metallic blue paint. We will apply a near back glaze at the end which will allow this dark blue to peek through and shimmer in the light. This has been a very fun piece without a doubt!
Giant twisted log
Today, rather than tackling the entire fixture, Matt & I took our time sculpting a single log of the giant barn light fixture that will be installed at Kraay’s Family Farm in Alberta. Matt worked one side while I teamed up on the second, making sure our grains perfectly matched as they joined top and bottom on the log. In the end we had a twisted chunk of driftwood that formed half of the fixture. Tomorrow we’ll tackle the second llalf. Stay tuned…
Borderline ready
Work continues at full speed over at the Hazelnut Inn. The tile work is coming along nicely. Peter is busy gluing in the hundreds of small border tiles. This double border undulates around the curved walls of the room. Peter is making significant progress, and by the end of the week, this work will be complete, allowing him to resume filling in the center section of the floor. In the bathroom, Julianne has almost completed the expansive tile work on the walls. Things are on schedule for the open house in only sixty-five days on June 7…
