Sculptor Marilyn Armitage was in last week to polish some of her bear scuptures. When she brought out her blow torch I needed to take some photos of the artist in action. After sanding with a very fine wet and dry grit sandpaper, Marilyn uses the heat from the blowtorch to melt wax into the stone. This creates the rich glossy finish and enhances the natural beauty in the stone.
Marilyn was also recently featured in the Peace Arch News Local Flavours section. Here she shares her family chili recipe. (adjust hot sauce accordingly to personal preference!)
