End of May

Feeling a little pressed for time, just like the rest of us....I am positive on this!  This has been a busy morning, along with the last week!  I finally finished the back section of the TV!  Today I made the soundtrack and installed it onto my mp3 player...after waiting for months for my son to help with this, I did it myself.  Go ME!!  I also started my rug that goes with the installation (which will go together fairly quick).  The first 2 foot square is done, and I am letting glue dry.  I also wrote out my paper longhand this morning, and will start typing and editing later after the peeps settle down and hubby leaves town to go to my sons to bring back the other boys.  GOODBYE Peace and quiet!

 

All 3 sections done (not assembled) (yes, it took over the house)

  

The beginning of the rug! (out in the studio)

Middle section complete!

I just finished the middle section tonight, after spending these last two weekends working from the time I got up until bedtime, and another couple of hours during the week totaling about 52.50 hours in just the surface treatment of this section.  Tomorrow I will be picking up some more brick paint (I would run out just as I get to the smallest section).  My goal is to have the last section finished by the next weekend, so that I can get busy with the rug for the room.

 This was just after last weekend, after I had finished making and applying the bricks.  (I had some made, but ran out)

Finished section....Lots of time and caulk!

This has been very labor intensive and highly technical.  This is also my first suspended piece.  Cross your fingers!

Mays Beginnings

I had to take a second job to raise the money to get back to school, and I am beat!  I am going to be able to send in the $ today for my room fees at Massart, YEAH!!  Last weekend I finished the front section on my piece (back side, and front grout painting).  This week I have been preparing another 4x8 foam board into brick strips for the middle section and I am ready to put them on this weekend.  I am afraid that I may run out before I get to the smaller of the 3 sections and will need to by another sheet of foam.

I will post photos after I get going on the middle section.
