"hear the world" almost done

12/6/2014

 
Picture
I thought, surely, that this job would be finished today. I did a final sanding job, and applied the final layer of primer. Of course, this showed up all kinds of little faults in the surface that had to be filled. So, again, lots of little daubs of red filler. Tomorrow, this will sand to perfection. Or not.  This is pretty much day 4 of this process.

Note the rolling stands that I've built today. These sculptures have to go to E&L Collision just down the street for the final paint job of candy apple red. Any faults in the surface are going to glare like a ketchup stain on your white tie. The carts will make it easy for the painters to position these awkward shapes for finishing.

    I'm a woodcarver, turned sculptor, and morphed into a pattern-maker for cast metals. These days I hesitate to define my work, avoiding words like 'artist' or 'craftsman'. I just love designing and making things, keeping a bit of time free to downhill ski, paddle my kayak, and sing with my fellow choristers.
