NH2 Timascus No. 11- Papagena. Under construction
|
|
After a couple of weeks on break, mainly due
to extremely hot weather and unbearable smoke, we are back in the
workshop. With temperatures in the high 40°s at times the machinery had
to be shut down because we just could not get rid of all the heat
generated from the cooling units and compressors. But late last night,
the main plate for NH2 Timascus No.11 has been completed and the
assembly will soon commence.
No.11 is our second green Timascus NH2. The first one (No.5) was
nicknamed Papageno, and No. 11 is its matching partner and companion-
Papagena. Papageno and Papagena are characters from Mozart's famous
opera ' The Magic Flute'. Papageno is the bird catcher who is unable to
find a wife, and Papagena appears in his life at his lowest point (note
the noose!)

... and dozens more of your choice!
Apart from the obvious - a green colour scheme - there are a number of
other similarities between the green NH2 Timascus and Mozart's couple. Bringing out the vibrant green colours out of Timascus is extremely difficult
and at this stage a third green piece is not likely anytime soon. The
pattern of Timascus No.11 is a beautiful rosebud with green, turquoise,
lime and purple accents and the finest hint of french blue.
