Prime rib, yum!

Just kidding! Today we primed all the cutouts with our spray gun and mini compressor. The poor thing could barely keep up, but it got the job done. In between waiting for the compressor to fill, we made an impromptu stack sculpture of praire dogs in the window. It was a beautiful day out. Perfect for painting. We're still waiting on news about securing a space outdoors to install our piece, eek! The regular ferry got repaired so we're back to rolling in style on a sweet vessel. Cool man.

Duck, duck, errrrr, Goose, goose, praire dog!

All day, all rain, still all good. Aw yeah. We're in the final stretch for finishing the cutouts. Today the mountain range, grass, water and some praire dogs were made. We were jigsawin' in our rain jackets. When it got too wet, we made a cat mask from an extra cat head laying around our studio and noticed that a cut off resembled a snake head. How fortuitous! Or should we say, how fortuitoussssssss! There's a chance that we'll be laying down some colors on Thursday if the weather is good. Aw yeah.

Smooch the Goose!

We worked on the cut-outs of the goose, whale and cat today. There was a slight change in design where now the end of the cat's tail will move and the goose's neck will nod. This thing is starting to feel pretty big in our studio, so we're crossing our fingers that we'll get a spot outside to install it. "Maybe it should be halved?" we thought to ourselves. Next up, more jig sawing and maybe some painting.

P.S. That cat's not angry, it's just got attitude!

Telephone Poles and Studio Cat!

The telephone poles for the rainbow are now finished. The plan is to run rope through the tops and attach colored flags. We think it's going to be extra festive. We tried to make a cut-out of a cat but it was too small, so it's now become our studio cat. It currently resides by our pile of wood. Next time, cat and goose updates!

Radio Tower and platform

The skeletal structure for Parquet Homé is almost finished. Next the fun stuff will start to appear... cats with goose heads, magnificent mountain views, rainbow pathways to eternity and whales spouting soda pop!

Rainy days and Mondays



We can't get over how lucky we are and how exciting it is to take a ferry to our studio. The fog laying over the city this day was pretty amazing.
