On Thursday we just continued to do what we've been doing. Around my tree design I wrote a quote that goes along with the symbol of a tree. I messed up on writing the quote in black so I had to redo it. Whenever we mess up on something it takes so long to redo. You have to take of the paint and then paint over it 3 different times with white. It takes forever to dry and is extremely frustrating. Painting the bench was for sure harder than we all thought it would be. Including all the details and images we chose to has been challenging, but also really fun. Tomorrow we are going to start by fixing what we messed up on today. We are at 24 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!
