It is quite a process - Hubby cuts them out, sands and base coats them. Then they come into the house where I put their personalities on. Once I paint their faces - beaks, combs, feet (in some cases) - then I add polka dots, plaid and pattern to their bodies. Then I rough them up a bit - we want them to look aged like us. So I take sandpaper and weather them a bit. Last I put on a finish. Whew! So we really have lots of time and energy involved. They are so cute running around the garden!
I have confessed before to having another addiction - chairs. I buy chairs everywhere I see one for sale. These two chairs needed their seats upholstered and today I got the job done! Leather looks so cool so I upholstered them in faux embossed leather. Love the look - kinda cowboy/cowgirl. I'm pleased with the outcome and then there are my chickens roosting on my newly dressed up chairs.
Can't keep those darn chickens off the furniture! |
Take care,
Bonnie
