Artsy and Sciency

[helblonde]

I realize there was this whole event around the Arts and Sciences this weekend, but I decided to stay home and, well,  do Art and Science. The bed rail painting is about halfway done. I've nearly finished the complicated bits (a leopard spotted centaur? yeesh), then comes the acanthus leaves, calligraphy, and gold leaf (I'm taking this from le manuscripte, if you recall). We've decided on a design for the headboard, which will be much easier to accomplish than the side rails.

moriven and falzalot also made tremendous progress in prepping the new poles for our dayshade and her pavilion. THey just need a finer sanding, then it's on to the fun with stain bit.
