Our first Sculpture Magic Workshop was a resounding success. The students came from British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Arizona, Colorado and Washington. Our guests arrived Thursday afternoon for the most part, eager to get started.
Today we did the last of the major preparations for the Sculpture MAGIC Workshop which starts officially on Friday morning. Thursday afternoon our guests will begin to arrive. I welded up the steel structures for the tree sculptures we will be doing
For Melissa’s name tag I waned to try out the blending of the texture into the background – like I had done on Eric’s from the last workshop group. The difference was I would use the weave pattern. I first crated a domed oval
As I am gathering and sorting material for my presentations at this weeks Sculpture MAGIC Workshop it became clear to me just how much sculpture we include in our projects.
The eleventh Sign MAGIC Workshop we have hosted in our shop is now complete.
In the last days we have been busy. Name plaques have been designed, routed and painted.
Ted’s name only has three letters allowing me to do something cool with his name on the plaque. Each letter would be comprised of individual boards. The pegs that ‘hold’ them together would be built separately.
For every workshop one of the name plaques includes what I call the ‘rope trick’. It is a very cool feature of EnRoute
For Darrin’s name plaque I decided to go with a Celtic design which is part of the TEXTURE MAGIC collecion. The bitmap could be stretched a little but the shape of the file would largely determine the dimensions. It is not yet possible to rotate bitmaps in EnRoute so I created a rectangular vector and then a flat relief. Then I applied the bitmap.
