On Tuesday we spent our time going over what we designed on Monday on the pot and painting it. We painted the pineapple and put fun quotes around it. I think that the pot and flower go really nicely with the whole Wellness idea for where we're putting our bench. Today was the last day we got to work on our bench and I must say it was a long time coming. We put a lot into making this bench! It was really fun and I'm happy we chose this to leave proctor with. Our whole idea was being able to give something back to the place we love! We are finished with 51 hours!
On Wednesday we started our leg design. We had to first clean off the bench and wipe it down with water and paper towels to make sure there wasn't anything like dust or pencil shavings that the paint could dry over. When we finished this we put a trash bag over the parts of the bench that we didn't want to get paint over and then started our design. We're not giving anything away so a little hint is that it is super messy. Our design took a long time to finish, but it was really fun. After we finished we went over the entire bench in like a 5th coat of white. We painted white in between letters, pictures, words, etc. It took a very long time to make sure we didn't get any white paint over anything we had already painted. We had to let the paint dry so we stopped there and are going to finish the other coat on Thursday, and then the bench will finally be done!
