As I build the 2nd wing of my peacock sculpture, I spend a 'bit' of time waiting for so-called "5 minute" epoxy to set... In the meantime, here's a look at the Peacock bulding station, and other shots of the bird. Progress is happening, but never as fast as I want! 😀

If you've been following along lately, you've seen that I'm making a lot of small brass feathers for the 2nd wing. Here's a look at the first wing to show you how they'll be used. (ignore my chalk marks).

I always enjoy displaying my artwork at the Nebras

I always enjoy displaying my artwork at the Nebraska State Fair alongside the great representation of Nebraska artists. This year, I took my Falcon sculpture and Bison Pencil.
Thank you to the many volunteers who make this happen each year! @nestatefair @nsfcompetitiveexhibits
