I’d say I had a pretty productive weekend! 🏔️ Phases 1, 2 & 3 are complete, and now the real fun begins: building the mountains!
This is one of my favorite parts of the process—sorting through each piece of wood, turning them in my hands, and searching for the perfect shape, texture, and character. Little by little, the layers rise, the depth begins to emerge, and individual pieces transform into a mountain range with a personality all its own.
I’m also preparing for the Tehachapi Apple Festival in October, so there’s plenty to keep me busy as I bring these mountain pieces to life. I can already picture the finished range coming together, and I can’t wait to see where this build takes me! ❤️
