    Its finished!

    I asked all of you what color to make the rocking horse's hair. After careful consideration, we decided on light sage green hair (after we made a few color changes on the rocking rails). The fabric for the seat finally arrived, several shades darker than anticipated. So we decided to have some fun with the darker green. I painted the rails yellow, then applied a crackle medium and painted green over that. It looks antique







    I went a little yarn happy... the horsie has LOTS of hair! Its the COOLEST yarn -- its very thready, and has bits of yellow and mint green in it.

    Allen insisted on helping us put the bows on the horsie so he got one too

    He was NOT amused


    But look how handsome the green looks against his orange fur


    I had sooo much fun making this horse - now I want to go into business repainting and refinishing old wooden rocking horses

    WOW! That horse looks great! You did a wonderful job! And your helper looks very good in green.... although I am wondering, by the look on his face, if he would have prefered a different color!

    It's adorable! You did a great job with it, and I think the shade of green you chose is beautiful

    I was thinking exactly this. You certainly have the talent if you only had the time!
