I made a stairway to heaven today 😉. Detail work in progress. Needs to dry this night…

Multitasking: inspecting my Stairway to Heaven while playing hide and seek for a group of visitors.
About my stairway: heaven is currently unattainable for me: I forgot the first step…

I spent a lot of time thinking & testing how to fill up my cabin. I want to make a transition from light to dark with coal.
I’ve tested different sizes of coal with different glues, but none of them to my satisfaction.
Then my be-MINE guardian angel walked by. I explaned what I was doing, and mentioned I could use bigger pieces of coal. “Oh, but we have too. I will come back later, then we will go get it.” :-)))

He did came back yesterday, took me to coal washery plant 4, and we collected a bunch of beautiful big pieces of coal 😊. Today I spent a lot of time trying to make slices as thin as possible. Not easy, but the result is very, very promising. Happy!

Puzzling with coal, day 2. A patience work that, frankly, in the long run starts to work on my nerves. Fortunately I can beat some coal with a hammer for change ;-). I still need a lot of pieces.

Puzzling with coal, day 3.

Today I also did some restauration works on my stairway, and I finally installed the first step.

I made a stairway to heaven and a guardian angel brought me to beautiful new material : speaking about a match made in heaven :-)
