A Southern Belle with Northern Roots/Junkflirt

Looking for a few more unique items to sell in our booth, this little giraffe caught my eye. Cute as he is....I decided to update him a bit.



A base coat of Annie Sloan graphite, Valspar weathered crackle glaze and a top coat of oops return turquoise paint transformed Mr. Giraffe into a sleek riding pony.
 A new mane, ears, and a tail were added using burlap with a fleur de lis print, and a couple silver accents that came out of my scrapbook stash. These were glued on and a bit of soft trim that looks like barbed wire finished the mane area.


Two wood drawer handles were attached using a doweling screw for new eyes.


Yee Haw!  Grab your lasso and saddle up!
