Today was spent building the floater frame for “Pushing The Limits”. Thankful I have 4 corner clamps :-D  

After consideration, I decided to paint the inside of the fame in a deep blue/black. I didn’t want to use just black as it seemed too harsh and whenever I can use color (even this deep) I’d rather. I purchased simple corner moulding that had been primed. That let me sand it down to give the pickled look I like for simple frames here in Florida.

Here is the beginning of Spiral #3. This will be the last one made out of steel, I am switching to aluminum now that I no longer have my steel shop for welding (sold - yay!). 

I also am returning to having figures on these spirals, I like the change in perception of scale with them. I think it allows for a grander feel to the strength of the spiral in it’s force of nature as it lifts us.

I have been thinking of opening my studio/home for a holiday Open Studio, we shall see…

Here is Spiral #2 with texture on wings

Here is Spiral #1finished on it’s base of pecky cypress

After adding to the top, I have all the “sails” attached. Now to work on their textures…
