Nate has been welding away on the new studio gate and it’s almost ready to install. He designed it so the bottom has perforated metal panels and the top openings are where I’ll install my art from my Bone Series. He figured out a way of making the loops for me to attach my art to by cutting chain links in half and welding them along the framing. Of course he had to make a little jig to hold each of these loops in place when welding them, so that’s just one more step in the process. Now he’s working on the track for it to roll in, as well as priming and painting all the metal. The priming currently makes it look the color of the golden gate bridge but promise you, we won’t be leaving it that color.
I’ve glazed up a bunch of pieces and will be ready to install them once the gate is in place. I think the shadows the pieces will cast will look great in place – can’t wait to see this collaboration finished up!
What I don’t see is a doggie door?
Ha! That’s because these doggies need to stay inside this gate! No escaping!
