Cutting and Priming

We've got a few horses cut out and ready to go.  I have one horse planned out, while Sue has a trio of them in her head waiting to be painted! We haven't got enough time to start in on the real painting tonight, but at least we have a couple of horses ready to go for Thursday afternoon.

On a run to Michaels craft store, a new smaller scissors was purchased for those hard to cut areas! I also picked up a little special something for my first horse's mane and tail, and Sue picked up some embellishments for a future horse. Any trip to a craft store is fun, but a trip with an actual project in mind is always extra fun! We had a great time looking at things and getting ideas.

We're looking forward to finally giving our first horses some personality tomorrow!

It Starts Today

The Great Cardboard Horse Project begins!

Using this great set of patterns from Ann Wood (http://www.designsponge.com/2009/05/diy-project-cardboard-stampede-w-ann-wood.html), Sue and I are going to tame some wild horses of our own! We intend to post progress photos, a picture of each horse when it is finished, and of course a photo of our stampede when it is finally done!  Check back often to meet each of our horses and see how we're doing.
