Today's work is the painting of the sugaring fireplace hood and chimney. It has been faux-painted to look like tin, complete with rivets along the hood seams. The photo can be enlarged by clicking on it.
Tomorrow the new evaporating pans, and the damper which goes behind the fireplace, to control the flow of air for the fire.
Fantastic, Marijke! This is going to be such a neat diorama! Your faux finishes and materials are amazing! It is fascinating to learn how everyday things we love, like syrup, come about!
ReplyDeleteYou're very encouraging, Jodi, with regard to the faux finishes! I really enjoy doing them. One of the items is a worn copper cauldron, which I have to make out of air dry clay and paint....
DeleteThis diorama is a great challenge, quick to do too.
Dear Marijke, that sure looks like tin! A great paintjob. This is a lovely and quirky project.
