After even more sanding with varying degrees of fineness and then onto wet & dry, the sculptures are ready for the wax.

Twenty 6
Aughh! the days are disappearing fast.
Last day at glass painting and it went so fast, by 11 o'clock I was finished and I wasn't the first.
So here are the backs.
I have had a sneak preview of course but thought I'd make you all wait until tomorrow to get the full effect of the image.
After painting it was into town and we went for food, wandered a little, and bought the bits and pieces we hadn't before. Time is running out.
It's been a little cooler the last few days but today in town was hot enough.
In the square they're preparing for the Medieval Festival, starting tomorrow.
Last full day and we get a medieval fair, how good is that.
This evening it's been hanging out together, eating, snacks, wee drinks and films.
Off to go and join in.

Day 25
Penultimate glass painting day, and quite eager to start painting.
Silence fell as we all got stuck in. Enjoying the houses, but really making a lot of it up so not sure how this is going to go, seems ok at the moment. This is how far I got today.
I completely forgot to reverse the image before printing so it isn't as it would be in the square, and I've also changed a few of the windows.

On to the next image. This one is taken from a photo from one of the works we saw at the council tower by Bernardo Neumann, I have changed parts of it but couldn't come up with something myself in the short time available.

Obviously it's difficult to see how this is going to be, wasn't able to take a photo as the paint was right up to the edges and couldn't turn it round.
But, looking forward to tomorrow when it's done.
Finished and back to the flat before 1pm, not sure quite what to do with myself now. Not such a great day, a bit spittery with rain and a little dull.
Mainly reading my kindle.
It's too soon to leave, much as I'd love to get back, I'm very much torn so another trip to Romania is definitely in order. I think next time I'll hire a car or drive over.

Ok… 24
This morning there was a bit of panic….. no milk, so no earl grey tea! Decision made, I was off and out the door in minutes, off to the shop and then, no milk. Well there was but it was in a machine. As someone else was there getting milk I found out the procedure, Pay for tokens and then get a plastic bottle and stick under the pipe (like getting a coffee from a machine) and press start. Sorted.
Yesterday’s travels to the country made me feel rejuvenated. Excited about starting our contemporary glass paintings. A quick stop to get the images printed and here we go.

A couple of hours in and I’ve more or less finished the
black ink.
After learning the technique with the icon painting it is definitely a little faster to do the next ones. An interesting procedure because I’m not exactly sure how this is going to turn out, but looking forward to it.

Vik and I decided to head off for our other exciting thing for today,
going to visit the ‘head man’ again for some wee heads. A lovely man to chat to
(very good English), he’s off to the biggest ceramic fair there is soon, which
is held in Italy.

Ioana had shown us images from a previous exhibition he had that consisted
of 5000 wee heads, this was in aid of the Hospice House of Hope. He also just opened another
in Brasov yesterday. Busy man, and definitely deserves success.

Ioana had printed out our certificates and everything was signed and
stamped. Looking very official.

key to the door day…21
Late, lazy morning, lovely.
Off to town today to see an exhibition by Bernardo Federico Neumann of part of his collection, 'Abstraccion Surrealista'. Lots of colours coming up.
The exhibition was in the council tower just off Piata Mara and a very narrow, steep climb to get to it. The images were on the 1st and 2nd floors and were indeed incredibly vibrant, although probably more so if they'd been the originals. Interesting work nonetheless.
Not easy to take photos as you can see because of the glass and the lighting but gives a impression of what they were like.
After viewing the art it was up lots more stairs to get to the top of the tower.
Tiny wee door, very narrow space but hand rail all the way up, which I was very glad of. As we got nearer the top the floors were smaller and the heat rose quickly, couldn't stay very long but the views were incredible.
Another pic of the houses with eyes, I prefer the look of the older ones, possibly due to the differing tile colours.
Down again, and what a pleasure to feel cooler each descent of steps. Outside, beside the tower ,an arched tunnel(short) had a gorgeous breeze blowing through so we stood there for a while.
Went for a bite to eat next… my veggie lasagne wasn't veggie, not great and no time to get it sent back for another. Luckily, Megan does eat meat and we swopped, I got her tomato soup which was lovely. Off to meet our lift to the cheese and brandy festival. Not too far from Sibiu.
Amazing view of the mountains. The festival itself was quite small but had a good feel about it. We wandered a little, had some help from Ioana and Leonardo to find the brandy. Hadn't realised it would be in little plastic bottles……. so, a few tastes were had, prices checked and we got a wee bottle to have one night (with juice) between us all.
