my first attempt at "crafts" whadda ya think? (dialup warning)

my step mom didn't want a present, when I insisted she thought she could use a door stop for her new sunroom as the door won't stay open

so I found this at the thrift store

and re-worked him.... whadda ya think? is he done? missing something? or good to go?

25. First attempt, huh?

It's great! Either the "first attempt" was just being modest or you have a talent for crafts :)

26. yup, first try at this type project. I have been painting the walls in the

house but .. not the same yanno?

The eyes were really hard to get right and the saddle took a few tries too. Lucky for me, pencils come with erasers and you can do that before breaking out any paint! :rofl:
