The photographs above were taken on the first and main day of set construction, chartering the process of applying the angel image to the wood, and developing the wood into pieces of usable set.
As can be seen from my development of painting the angels below, the main challenge was making sure that both angels looked as identical as possible, and this has taken longer than I have expected. However, I am very pleased with the final result, and I am also pleased that I have completed this early on in the production process, so that I can focus on making the fabric angel to an equally high standard.
