The Painted Lady

This was the Painted Lady when I first got her for $6.00 at a yard sale. I was going to add some decorative wood pieces to her drawers and paint her white, but before I could do it she spoke to me. She had been white before and she was tiered of her plain white dress, she wanted to take a walk on the wild side!


I had more help then I needed trying to get her done.




So I gave her a new fur coat.,


a pretty pink dress,



And a pair of black high heals.


I was going to sell her when I was done with her but my 9 year old is begging me to keep her - and of course redo her entire room to match! For now I will let her hang out in the studio and let her paint harden up. Besides she loves it when clients come in and tell her how beautiful she is.

    And I'm so glad my wood filler tips are useful! Hope I can get the dresser done at the end of the month...too many other projects keep getting in the way! :)

    GOODNESS! Visiting from MMS linky party and saw the before/plain pix at the top and I said, "Oh, nice shape"... then I scrolled down (darling kittys too!) and a sudden and BIG SMILE hit my face when I saw the zebra redo in pink!

    OUTTTTTSTANDING! That one is jaw dropper!
