As promised, here are a few more photos of that gorgeous Marmorino Classic map of the world created by Tina Randolph at Sun Liquor Distillery in Seattle:

Relaxing after a hard day learning decorative cement from Cindee Lundin

Even the gridlines on the map are polished plaster

One of the more interesting things about the project from a technical point of view: The substrate walls were pretty rough. Rather than do the standard prep of smoothing the surface out prior to polished plaster, Tina and the crew went directly over the rough substrate which ended up looking wonderful and giving the feel of those ridges under the ocean and the waves on top. I could look at that blue wall all day.

Fun stuff

Here’s a not very well kept secret – these guys serve some of the best cocktails in Seattle

Thanks to Sun Liquor for being such a cool place and supporting the local artisans in our town

Tina Randolph just started using Stucco Italiano plasters which she says she now loves. She’s been doing awesome decorative work all over Seattle for many years, including some great stuff in Top Pot Doughnuts which is owned by the same folks who brought us the new Sun Liquor. I’m hoping to interview Tina next week for the blog and post some more jobs that she’s done.

In the first one she used Marmorino Carrara on the walls and Golden metallic paints and powder pigments on the ceiling. She also painted the designs in the middle.

And here is a distressed Carrara finish…
