Silhouette Project

I may have had too much rest yesterday.  After my little post, I curled up on the couch, read magazines, and watched television.  Then, I curled up in bed, watched television, and took a nap.  Then, I curled up on the couch again.  Okay, I'm refreshed.  So, the project I finished yesterday, is this horse silhouette.

Last week, I picked up these tin animals at a resale shop.

I actually had a pig and cow as well, but I sold them.  I kept the horse and rooster.  I have quite a few projects planned with them.

I cut a piece of wood to fit an ornate framed I painted white.  I wanted lots of texture and pattern, so I used a piece of wood with an interesting gain.  I used  light coats of  spray paint to cover the board.  I wanted the horse black, so that was my first coat.

This is the same technique I used with the chandelier image in my "Garden and Distractions" post.

I laid the horse down in the center of the board, and did a spray of white over it. The image used has to be as flat as possible, and you need to spray directly over it. Next, I framed it.

I've done the same thing with birds, etc.  The technique is simple, but there are many, many variations.  I'll share a few soon. 

While I rested yesterday, tons of redesign ideas swirled in my head.  I'm working on a few today.  See ya soon.
