Rainbow Bridge

<div><p>Working on the rainbow bridge for Trip to Your Heart(Birth of a Star) and I've finished the basic shape of the front panel and sketched out the 2nd panel. I need to sand and round the bottom edges to make them "poofy" like clouds, and make the center beam for the planks. Got all the wood, primer, paint, and tools yesterday. It's turning out well, and on time so im excited.</p> <p>Im using a dremmel trio, and its going surprisingly well. Hoping to have the installation and photo shot printed, and ready for the our community show(at the clay studio).
