man! what a tedious process. l guess patience really is a virtue, eh?

very cool though when it's done. does the owner come by and check on you often, or are they just letting you run with it? l always find that to be extremely annoying, because much of what l have to do to complete a set of construction documents, or a rendering, is tedious as well...with or without computer assist.

next step is the flame interior color[s]...l presume?

the revolution will not be televised...

Patience is not my strong suit :o) I feel pressed a lot of the time because there are other jobs ongoing at the same time. It's not helpful to any creative process when you feel pressure to finish something.

This owner has stopped by occassionally but limited his visits to just looking. He hasn't complained about anything I've done. As I've gotten further along in this kind of work I've found that I'm generally given free reign to create things how I choose to. I don't know why that is. Maybe it's a reflection of my confidence as I've gotten older and better at what I do and customers trust me to have enough insight into what things they like to be able to interpret what they say they want./? Also, as I've gotten older/confident it's rare when having someone watch me work will bother me. It doesn't affect me in the least. I kind of feel like a zoo exhibit to tell you the truth and I enjoy performing for the ignorant masses! Haha! :o)

Next step...Actually, next step is to lay out the second set of flames that go underneath of this one. You'll see how and why I came to regret not doing that one first :o)

Thanks, Dada.

This really cool, super. It looks like it takes a LOT of patience, though.

Thanks, CG.
All the taping is tolerable because you're always looking forward to untaping it and seeing the result. I swear, despite having done this stuff for so long I still get a little giddy, like a little kid, when it's time to start unwrapping :o)
