Big Blocks carved, mounted
I named the big blocks: Fly Now Live Be Free
I had to name them something for organization's sake and 1-5 or A-E just not creative enough for this wild mind. So now we have a poem, each word in itself congruent with the theme, as well as the whole phrase.
Here some pics of the fixing up and mounting
All the blocks carved with one puzzle piece in place Marlene Vidibor |
After carving, the blocks are matched up side to side and I make corrections to the design |
After the correction, perfect match! |
More puzzle pieces arrive
It will be some time before the "whole" takes shape but some blocks are arriving and I dutifully place them in place. Now that I have backing boards glued to the big blocks, I can permanently level them and glue them in place.
Backing glued |
I mark the back of the backing (will be the bottom) with the shapes of the empty pieces, this way if a particular piece gives me printing troubles I can adjust with easy location |
