    Help us decide!

    Hee hee.... we're refinishing the rocking horse Ashley has as a little girl for the baby. Problem is what color should we make the hair? Oh yea, this is one HUGE decision and the fate of the world rests upon this!

    So.....
    We have Dark Brown


    Tan


    Green (to match the base and gingham ribbon)


    White


    White and green mix


    Dk brown and tan mix


    We'll go buy the yarn sometime tomorrow but have no idea which color would be best - the green is fun but the browns look more realisitc. Help!


    PS: Do ya love my computer drawing skills? Glad I stick to pencil and paper!

    I thought my choice was the most popular until I realized that I'm the first poster! I chose green and white because all green looks too dense, brown looks too dull for a child's rocking horse, and white looked strange. The green and white is very striking and jolly.

    I think the baby will like green and white the best. It is eye catching without clashing or screaming at you and not boring like the brown or tan.

    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    If it was me I'd repaint the base a different color and go from there. I prefer more realistic but that's just me, I'd make it a bay with a white star and snip and paint Barbaro along the bottom!

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!


    I love you baby, passed away 03/04/2008

    We had stripped everyting off from before - the green IS a new color! It used to be a honey colored stain and Ash sanded it down to the bare wood and we chose new colors. As you can see, we're not afraid of color around here

    I chose green and white.

    However, if going the realistic route, I'd choose black. (Like Vela, I love those bays!)

    I like the dark brown and tan mix, the green is just a bit too much for me because of the green on the base and the gingham. The browns seem to blend in well with the horse.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I voted for the dark brown and tan mix... Though I think Black and Tan mixed would look nice too.
