Whew! Big project coming to a close...two more days left of long long hours. We are scheduled to install it next week. This makes me nervous, but excited to see it up!
I'm currently mired in black epoxy grout....there are 155 pieces in the bridge project- an unreal amount of grout! Things are looking pretty though. I am working my way through hills, rocks, waves and salmon. Next I will move on to the 100 foot long snake. I am hoping to finish around December 3rd and installation should be sometime in December.
Moving along on the mosaic portion of this project. My rocks look a bit like easter eggs! I'm working on the salmon now. There are three and each is approximately 9-12 feet long and 4 feet wide. They're made up of 3-5 pieces each. I fused the glass eyes in a kiln. I am soooo excited to be working on them!
Yay! I finally get to work with color again....after all the gray cement, thin set and wedi board...it is heaven! I am working on the hills, rocks and waves....then on to my dessert-snake and salmon!
Really hoping that I will finish the last of the concrete and wedi board substrate panels today. I am dying to start working on the mosaic. I need some color in my life again!!
Saturday I gave a free community mosaic workshop in Lewiston. Anyone was allowed to participate and their mosaic designs of rocks, waves and bubbles will be incorporated into the permanent public art project I am currently working on for the pedestrian bridge and the 5th and F Street sculpture. We had around 75 participants of all ages and it was loads of fun!
I'm still working on snake parts! I've finished all of the concrete inner pieces and now working on the wedi board pieces that will go on the outside of the bridge. Lots of sawing, grouting, thinsetting, sealing etc.
