We
decided to come home a day early this week, on Wednesday instead of
Thursday, because we were not going to finish the little commission
and would have to go back next week any way. We could have finished
it but we opted to go out with friends we haven't seen in many months
instead.
So
that meant I didn't get the stencil finished Tuesday which meant that
Marc didn't get the stencil marked up which meant that by the time I
finished and he finished on Wednesday, it was too hot to start
sandblasting and one day, Thursday, wasn't going to be enough time to
complete the work so...
We're
very good at rationalizing.
I
worked on the new model Thursday,
finished
yesterday.
Starting
a new one today.
While
I'm otherwise occupied with this work, here's a peek from around the
yard this week.
a
new bromeliad erupting from the base of it's dying parent
what
passes for fall color around here
a
mockingbird singing his little heart out
the
white butterfly ginger liked the rain
zinnia
so intense it almost vibrates
ooh, aah. :)
ReplyDeleteEven in fall the flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhoa - love those flowers! Especially the zinnia - pow!
ReplyDeleteThat model is gorgeous; looking at the photos I see how closely you've observed petals. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI second Kerry -- the model is amazing. The fall color is nice, too!
ReplyDeleteA delightful share. I wondered if you smoothed the wax with heat or lots of care?
