While we were having a series of wonderful family visits, our friends who are living on the land with us finished cobbing the outdoor shower. I then did some trimming, and added the niches in the showering space.
Tal then added her decorative touches with a mosaic that echoes the spiral structure.
She is also planning to experiment with fresco lime painting on the outside of the shower, once it is plastered, reworking the Hebrew word for water (מים) into her design. It’s a work in progress!
We decided to plaster the entire cob wall with one layer of lime plaster. We used horse manure in this plaster and added some pigment, to give it color and experiment with using pigments in plaster.
For the showering space we intend to finish with Tadelakt. I used the lime plaster here as a base layer, but instead of burnishing it smooth I put a scratch layer for the Tadelakt to adhere to.
