Recently, Kathy Wear and I (she co-teaches the RsSeries class with me) went to Memphis, Tennessee in July for the International Decorative Artisans League. We demonstrated a mini-floor replica from a photograph that I snapped at the Vatican last October. The material we used was Rs Crete. You will see partial photos of the work in progression. I had not planned on doing a blog at the time, so the pictures are not completely step by step. A special thank you to Modello Design for their speedy response and design of the vinyl used for our inlay. For more information on Modello’s go to: www.modellodesign.com
Our Inspiration floor from the Vatican!
This was really exciting to do as we just winged the finish right on the spot! Sometimes that just works! At least it did for me, Kathy~ not so much!
