The Inside Walls....

 

Rocking On.... 

I Decided, Dear Readers, that while I was painting Rocks, I might as well take care of painting the side wall of the Tower where it abuts the Great Hall section of the Castle. The upper portion of this wall is visible from the top of the Great Hall so it would need doing eventually. The surest way of getting the courses in the proper alignment is to start from the bottom and work up. Above you can see the Tower turned so the inside wall is now facing out for easy access. It didn't take very long for the rocks to take shape.

The only careful part is making sure the courses 

are the same from the back side to the front.

I measure the distance from the "ground" 

and align the rocks so they properly meet at the corner.

The short side of the rock on one wall

 must have the long side on the other, around the corner.

Adding the "rock" texture....

And making sure the texture of the rocks continues

 the same as it goes around the corner.

This way the "rock" maintains its visual integrity as one "rock".

And adding the grout.... half done!

And by now it has gotten so dark that 

even I maintain that the flash is needed.

And the next morning I continue

 with the other "inside wall"... 

the one on The Great Hall side wall.

Once again, I carefully align the courses

 with the back wall which

 was the first to be painted years ago.

Partly blocked in...

Texture filled in....

And the grout lines added.

I only turned the Great Hall far enough

 to reach in there to paint, 

so it is harder to see the results.

From this angle you can see better....

And from "ground level" looking up!

But this wall, Dear Readers,

 is the Inside wall between the Castle sections,

 so it will never be seen!

But I'm Rocking it anyway.... 

because I will know it is there!

(And I am hoping I will be able to post this to blogger.... 

I have not been able to comment on any blogs this week...

 and I changed nothing in my settings......! 

So I don't know what changed!.... Grrrr....)
