Flying Pigs?
It all started here with this one... I just can't help but find humor in the term "when pigs fly" and I love the optimism that when pigs fly anything can happen!
This one was gifted to me from my sister Jen- I've kept in indoors
This is my newest from Hobby Lobby- too cute!
So I decided this little trike planter needed to be brightened up. I saw a picture on Celestina Marie's- Southern Day Dreams blog "here" with a red bike she had painted and added to her back garden. I liked how the color popped and decided I wanted this little guy to stand out better. Before it got painted a scotch-brite pad was used to clean up the tiled surfaces and some light sanding to remove rust and prepare for painting.
Dan is my painter- he's more patient than me and has a vast background in painting...farm tractors, cars, motorcycles, and at a factory that painted parts for army tanks in Detroit back in 1967 -$1.68 per hr- woo hoo. Can you imagine!
I chose blue- and boy did it change it's looks!
So here's my Lit'l Blue trike!
I am bummed that I couldn't get a picture I with the sun shining because once again we are under heavy cloud cover. It's going to rain in a bit.
I played with the picture on BeFunky.com and chose the "underpainting 2" option after I lightened up the picture a tad. I like the way it made the flowers look painted!
