Second Day Working in the Float Barn:

Today was lots of tiny detail work on the signs which will be on the sides of the ship.

So much has happened with the second shift yesterday...this is a panoramic view of some of the floats around us.

The second shift put the Black Letters of "niger seeds" onto the Mayflower Compact I worked on yesterday.

Last night, they put the "White Rice" onto this sign.  We added the red lettering, which was cranberry seed.  Then we went to work on the ship, which was going to be made from statice flowers.  We had such fine line to fill, we had to chop the statice with double scissors for about  30 minutes before it was fine enough to utilize for this detailed work.  

Some of the rice that was put on overfilled into the space we needed for the riggings of the ship...which meant we dug it out with tweezers!

It took all day, but our team of four finished both of the signs which will be mounted on the sides of the ship.

That is where I will be on the float....in front of the ship, to the right of the "Plymouth Rock".

We have been putting on rice, seeds, beans, etc. so far.....but buckets of flowers marked "Mayflower" are now surrounding one side of the float.

We should have fun with flowers tomorrow!!!
