...does wonders!
Here's the little polka dot cutie after her make-over! I removed the "tired" grape vine wrap and a tattered bow from around her neck (which I did before I took the "before" photo). I added a new coat of paint with some fresh colors, and updated the embellishments on the heart - a tin star, big brown button, and hemp twine!
I love her!
For now, she's on the door of the new coop, which will eventually have it's trim painted either red or white, I can't decide... maybe I'll paint the trim of the coop white with black polka dots! Hmmm... that's not a bad idea!
Oh my! She was indeed in need of a make-over. I like her new bow and heart and star. She just looks like a Henrietta Hen to me and very cool for the door of the new coop!

I love her....this is a chicken that I can relate to....I was always the most timid egg gatherer.....my cousins laughed at me. And Their Plymouth Rock rooster treed me barefooted on the roof of the henhouse in July....a truly memorable experience.

She's a really hip chick- I wish someone could make me over that quickly! Super cute!

How is it possible to "purty" her up and still leave her looking suitably aged to perfection? I adore her new look!

She turned out so cute! Tole painting is actually my first crafting passion followed closely by stamping. Stamping is more of an instant gratification while painting takes longer.

She looks amazing now! She did need a makeover. Love the trim idea for the chicken coop!
