If Clouds Could Talk

Okay, I left the camera up at the castle. So no photos of the floor in the brides chamber or the doors in the entry.

We tried a different technique on the brides floor to see if we could get the amber to color a lighter version of itself. Then veined as usual. This time we didn't spray water first we put the amber stain directly on the concrete. Then veined with walnut, more amber and jade. While doing the veining I used extra sprits of water to blend and let the veins run. Doing the acid directly on dry concrete leaves what you do there, drops and all, be careful not to make veining to bold, remember in natural veining you have bold lines to narrow fading lines. Water helps with that.

While the acid cured Britt and I went to put clouds on the ceiling of the chapel. After 4 hours of wrenching our necks we went back to the brides chamber and cleaned the floor. It looks good! Then back to working on clouds. Britt has things timed and we're given an hour a cloud in each bay , it's closer to 2 that it actually takes (which is putting her schedule off). Schedules push us. Sometimes beyond our limits.
