Yikes! As previously mentioned, I did come to a close on the construction of pieces for Natural Selection. Now it's time to paint these babies and I'm really glad I have a month to do it because it's a huge task. To help me along the way, I photographed all 89 pieces and printed them out so I could keep them all in a binder. This will be my bible for the next month. It will help me take notes not only for color decisions, but also for the all-important Latin naming process. A third and equally important reason to be so organized is that I wanted to record the dimensions of each piece for construction of the shelving units. With 30+ days left until the installation starts, I don't have any time to waste.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27441026-1490684283867756308?l=hilarypfeifer.blogspot.com'/></div>Hilary Pfeiferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12036893186757464330hilary@hilarypfeifer.com0
