This is my little project for this month's More mixed media January challenge, using blue. Please click on the link to see the wonderful crafting of others in the team - and we hope you will be able to join in with your entries.
When I saw this little rocking horse in The Works recently I knew I wanted to use it as a 'Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy' - something a bit different.
With John still in hospital (I'm going every day to visit), time for crafting has been limited and I didn't do this project justice at all. I painted the bare rocking horse using white gesso mixed with blue acrylic paint and then added bits and pieces.
So I used something new (rocking horse), something old (the other bits and pieces), for a new baby.
