...day two...
Folks it looks like me might make it!
Sarah putting starch on the backdrop. (Starch instead of gesso, so the photographer can backlight it) We use a push broom because it works so much faster!
The clients came by this morning and checked out the almost finished (because they have changes) tunnel drop that we started yesterday. The second (and larger drop is in the very beginning stages underneath.
They are discussing the colors and I thought these feet were great. Sarah has the lovely string coming off from her. (Sorry about the blurriness, but I was trying to be inconspicuous)
Here is Johanna mixing some yellow or orange for the fireball thing. Check out the stack of buckets that she has been washing.
Here is beautiful Shadow. Sarah is speeding to the finish on this second backdrop. She is really really amazing.
How cute is Buddy? He is Sarah's other dog. This is right after he had his afternoon greenie. (Shadow is waiting for her greenie in the photo above.) Pretty much like crack for dogs.
***addition...we are working in obsense conditions. It is crazy hot here 95 degrees with the humidity making it feel like it is over 100 degrees...which wouldn't be bad except we ONLY have an air conditioner in the office. That means in the studio were we WORK it is a million degrees. Our eyelids are sweating, YUCK!****

this is so interesting. i never thought about where backdrops come from etc. to think that all that work goes in to them...so neat. I love it when I can learn about how something is made and can appreciate it more, if you know what I mean. stinks about the heat though. I feel for you, I hate to be hot. keep up the good work and keep hydrated. I always love to see what you are up to...

I have missed so much by being away this week! Look how busy you've been! This is fascinating stuff to read--I go to food blogs so much, it's nice to read something totally different. :)
