Sorry for the poor photo, but light was fading. You can see we completed the prime coat of the base today. What you can't see, is that we have the paint for the top coat on hand! We picked colors, and have some sponge rollers to try our hand at faux painting. Our goal is to create a more "earthy" look on the base than it's previous white industrial look. We're trying to shift focus up to the Stupa itself...we'll see soon if we can succeed!
