How many times have you met someone and you know instantly what they need and that you can fix them.
He was a stallion for sure, a strong guy with great potential.
The minute my eyes met his, I knew he was mine.
This summer, I passed up a lamp with a similar guy. I’ve regretted it every day.
I surrounded him with freshness. Ivy, my gold W, he feels right at home.
All situated below a painting of a pasture.
And fresh grain (split peas) for my filler.
Here’s where he started:
And here’s where he ended, that’s much better! One thing that I learned the hard way, these are the only kinda guys that I can change. I’m ok with that 🙂

January 2, 2014 at 4:06 pmDid you have to do any preparation in spray painting your ceramic horse and what kind of paint did you use?
Thank you,
Katherine

January 2, 2014 at 4:09 pmHi Katherine, I sanded it lightly, cleaned it and use Krylon spray paint. Thanks for stopping by the blog!

January 24, 2012 at 9:41 pmThat looks wonderful! I’ve only recently thought about painting a figurine white and I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed it comes out as good as your stallion!

January 8, 2012 at 12:46 pmAnything that involves a horse I love, it turned out great. I have to say I love love the split peas as filler, awesome idea. I love a pop of green here and there and I can’t wait to use that. Thanks for the great idea!!

January 7, 2012 at 9:50 pmOh, you did him a favor! He looks much happier in white.

January 7, 2012 at 9:34 pmIsn’t it great we can change these kinds of guys? It doesn’t work so well on the other kind – you pretty much have to find them in good shape and love them the way you find them. 🙂

January 7, 2012 at 9:26 pmLOL! What a great guy! I just know he prefers this makeover. ;D
Jenny says

January 7, 2012 at 3:18 pmA little like that “old spice guy” commercial eh?! I actually just worked on spraying 5 or 6 of little critters this week. It’s rather addicting! I love the stallion though.

January 7, 2012 at 1:25 pmLOL! Definitely easier (and better!) to only try and change those kind of guys! He looks fantastic though and I think you have had quite a positive influence on him. 🙂
