Scariest Project Yet?
Err, probably. A 20+ ft scaffold tower was not my favourite thing to be teetering at the top of. However, I think it was worth it in the end to create this eye-catching exterior mural!
Far From Home…
Relocation, relocation… I spent the last week up in Bolsover, working on the side of this fruit & veg shop. It’s been hard work, and physically very tough. There is nothing worse than climbing to the top of a scaffold tower, only to realise I’d left my paint brush back at the bottom etc etc. My mood was cheered however by the very friendly locals! Located next to the local Co-Op, I had many passers by who were so encouraging with their feedback. It seems the people of Bolsover love their new mural!
The project has taken 5 days to complete, including varnishing. I had to just get over my fear and started at the top and worked down. Last night, I finished with the lettering, and then varnished this morning.
I had much help and encouragement from Chris and Emma who own the shop, and who kept me going with their fabulous produce! Also many thanks to Jason who came and put the scaffold up and down every day! I hope you like the results…
