C & L - one of the reasons I still like the blog is the ability to share the process - I know I like other artists doing that. V - I'm hoping to complete the work in the coming week - I tho am looking forward to the installation - an a few photos with the rock in the background before they go to their new home. JM & J - I was pleased that the contrast worked - sigh of relief. EM - thanks for comment about simple shapes - clear lines is what I was aiming for. MJ - the metal is 2.5mm thick. The back was painted to stop any reaction. On smaller items we tend to use tape. Good to have the F&B team working on some of these bigger jobs. Maybe we could aim for an installation on 21 September!!! All - peace.
