Two of us managed to get together on-line today for a miniature meeting. During the meeting, I dirtied up the hallway and sink area, fitted up the window, and added the faucet.

Wooden Shoe Workshop Progress Report

Working Away!
With the drying times involved here, it is going a little slower than I had hoped. However, I am still plugging away at the Klompenfabriek, and here are a few progress photos. The photo above is of the clay freshly applied to the wall, with a skewer keeping the hole for the faucet free of clay. As everything is quite wet here, I set the wall down flat on my table (the Lego bricks keep the screws from scratching the table surface.) The tools to the right are what I used to texture and shape the clay; my knife, a rubber-tipped sculpting tool, and a brass bristle brush. The latter is used to make the tiny pits in the wet clay that make it look like stucco.
(If you enlarge the photo, you can see some rather linear pits, upwards and to the right of the brick section. This was removed using my fingers, and then re-pitted using the small end of the brush. Photos are super for showing you what needs fixing....)

Klompenfabriek Update
As our province went back to the orange phase - no visitors, no travel, single family only - rules this week, due to the spike in Covid infections following Christmas, we had to cancel our planned in-person get-together this week. More is yet to come, as another huge spike is expected post-New Year's gatherings. However, we did meet electronically, and I did manage to get a little more done on my wooden shoe factory. It is so much easier to work on projects when you can bounce ideas off your mini friends in real time!
