The bricks look nice, Karl. I'm anxious to see them painted. How long did it take to carve them?

This kind of repetitive work always looks very impressive to me, since despite its monotony, it requires a constant care not to let the rows become too far or too close. Very nice.

Jerry,
base coat of maroon and tangerine craft paint stippled on and blended with water.
Flour mortar sealed with dullcoat.
Further colouring with chalks will follow.
