I wake up early to confirm my inkling from late last night. Barry and I decide that the fiberglass is too flexible to hold the mosaic and grout without risk of cracking in transit. So there will be no peacock for the opening on Thursday night - but it's not too late to get 'er done before we leave for England on Sunday night, I figure. So Barry dons latex gloves and starts to mix the two parts of the magic sculpt while I apply it to the structure. Painstaking work, but nice to be in the sunshine (until it gets too hot and Barry sets me up with a camera flag on a grip stand for shade). I'm reminded of my childhood working with modeling clay from Riley's Hobby Shop in Hamilton Ontario and a photo my Mom took with her trademark finger in the frame!
We work until dark, but run out of Magic Sculpt to finish the job. Good thing Douglas and Sturgess is open early tomorrow...
