Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 1:44 pm Post subject: Gina Wolfrum in the house: Modello Design Ceiling |
|
|
So we got a cool project for a ceiling and the designer wanted a Modello for it. I have never done one before so this was new to me. I ofcourse called the Modello master Gina and she had me call Michelle from Modello designs. Michelle was wonderful to work with and customized a really cool design for us. (excellent customer service!) I knew Gina was teaching a class coming up but it wasn"t soon enough so I had her come out here. Thankfully she was able to and she has been a godsend. I helped her out for about five minutes and then Marc P, jumped in. THey are doing a wonderful job so here are the pics to start with......
By the way Gina is an unbelievable person and easy to learn from. (ready for the plug)
Here is the info for her class coming up if you are interested.

Wow, what an awesome endorsement-for Michelle, for Gina, and for Modello Designs. Thanks so much Pat! I can't wait to see what guys do design-wise!
Don't forget that the deadline for photo submissions of Modello projects for the next edition in our series of Modello by Design books is October 31. I would love to see this grand project in there!

Amazing-like everyone else I can't wait to see the project progress. It looks like a large dramatic ceiling.

Can I just say that I am not jealous that I'm not doing that, LOL! I'm so glad that we could provide an easy way for YOU to do it though! It looks like it's coming together nicely.
I keep looking at the bare ceiling in my lobby and pondering glorious design possibilities...then I think about climbing up there-and move on quickly to an easier project....Melanie

Well Melanie, I think you should call the Fancy Lady out to do it! I would!
Gina, you look terrific and that ceiling is going to be stunning.
