And voila; this is what it looks like when finished. The first row of flat tiles sticks out 5 cms, the Canal tiles stick out a further 5 cms, then the final row of flat tiles sticks out another 5 cms. It'll go through an 'ageing' process before I'm done with it; for the moment it all looks rather new and neat, and that'll never do!
Jeez, I'll be pleased when this part of the build is finished. Everything has to be perfectly level, and is extremely time consuming and tedious. With Lady Magnon away in the UK, there's not even anyone around to encourage me!
Wow - that is fascinating. It might be hard work but think of the years of satisfaction you will get when you can sit back and survey your completed tower. (This is a far more exciting topic than the Pope!)
ReplyDeleteCro,this is really looking good,I think you should be so proud of yourself,you are going to sit enjoy a wine or three with a smug little grin for many years to come as everone says what a great job you did.Carole..no comment on the Pope,and will look up the website re other post.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No cake??!!
ReplyDeleteSorry T. This is the other type!
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous!! (loved your little poem at my place, btw)
ReplyDeleteHave you done this before Cro? or did you get from this the unique satisfaction from achieving something this wonderful for the very first time?
ReplyDeleteClever old stick aren't you!
First timer Jacqueline. I've done little DIY jobs before, but nothing like this. Not so sure about the 'clever'; foolish maybe!
ReplyDeleteI really like the shadow lines, a very elegant look: the aesthetics of repeating forms.
ReplyDeleteCro - what a great job you've done - very impressed. What a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very nice touch! You've done such a good job with the whole construction and little elements of flair.
