I
took this on to explore the challenges of:
1. a larger project ...
2. that is constructed in
pieces offsite ...
3. and then reassembled during
the installation.
A
few unrelated smaller pieces were done first to get comfortable
with using mesh before embarking on the landing.
The
landing is the 11' x 5' slab in front of the porch. I worked
on this in between other projects.
Needing
the storage for these other projects, I decided to install
the border. Reassembling the puzzle was painstaking but went
without any unforseen problems.
The
dolphins were assembled and finally placed inside the existing
border. I hope the detail shots give you a nice glimpse
of the how I got from my initial inspiration below, an
old tourist rug, to the final floor.
"Kalimera" is
the name of our house and is a greek salutation. Used most
of the day as a "hello"; litterally translated "good
morning". The year 2001 is in the background, commemorating
the start of the construction of the home.
