Building pyramids in honor of our leaving.....



I had a student who started the pyramid project a while ago but he gave up on it and it was thrown away. I have started it again using Hirst Arts Sand Blasted Pyramid Mold #92 and Egyptian Pyramid Accessory Mold #96. The picture of the wall is wrong in its set up. I have since figured out the mistake and should have this wall glued together in a few days. I got to pour some more molds to finish the room. I quickly painted up a mummy and sarcophagus for a student the other day. It was my first time painting for a number of years and painting plaster. He seemed to think it came out pretty good. I think that I got to practice some more.
The project has started to interest some of the other students and I hope they will help to finish the Greek temple that was started last semester. It is really hard (at least for me) to get the smooth bricks to line up right. I need to step back and relax a little about that. It will look fine no matter what.
