Back at the Safari House
As the title says, we're back at the Safari House. This time around we are working on the kitchen counter top. We're making it look like an African stream bed, complete with fish, marshes, rocks and sand. This has been a really fun project. My only regret is that I couldn't figure out a way to work a giraffe into it. Some of these pictures give you a "fish eye view" of the project and some give a long view. The platform at the end of the counter top is a pull out platform that is going to hold a hand crafted fish bowl that my sister, Meredith, and I are going to make. I'll post more pictures when the project is complete.
After graduating college with a degree in Fine Arts, I did what every liberal arts graduate does: I got a job in the hotel/restaurant industry. I stayed with that until 1994 when I started my faux finishing/mural painting business with my partner, Tony. We're still at it all these years later and continue to look for new, interesting ways to paint.
I was thinking about the bowl yesterday!

I drew a template yesterday, but you'll have to tell me if it will work. It's biiiiiig!
