Well, there’s been some progress on the Muskox theme sign!
I spent the past couple days assembling the wood armature and making sure all the pieces are securely attached. Ive never been so into building things, let alone using a powerdrill, so it was a bit a of a tough learning curve.


I had never done anything like this before, and use to think designs like these stay on the page.
But when it comes to a themed design from a character from my picture-book i seem to give it my everything. And to say ive been learning a bit would be a big understatement! the scrapes on my hand seem to show for that. 😭
Just today i spent the aftenoon stapling the metal lath to the wood boards. By later this week, the sign should be all ready for the more fun part: applying the clay and concrete to begin sculpting.
For the Muskox armature, I primarily continued with using wood. I then twisted several layers of thick wire together to form the armarture for the tusks.

This is by far the biggest project I've gotten to work on. But the more I think about it, If I can build and theme this, I could do the same with a building. I am really excited to see this piece come to life! Stay tuned...
