My Brother-In-Law asked me for a favor. He had gotten an idea for something he wanted to put in at his lake house. I was a little hesitant because I am not an artist! I didn't want to disappoint him with my lackluster abilities! In the end, I caved. His idea was just so darn creative I couldn't resist helping him out. I know you've probably seen the black cowboy silhouette pieces that are attached to sides of barns, homes and fences. Well....
I turned this.................................
into this.........................
Ha ! Isn't that funny?!! We didn't trim anything off of the original shape......... obviously, which accounts for her excess "up-top". I think that's what makes her um, let's say "interesting".
As I said, I'm not an artist and it's not perfect but I think he was pretty happy with the final result. The cowboy silhouette is just ply board, so I painted her with acrylic paint and then sprayed two coats of polyurethane. I used one that is for outdoor use. I used the same brand that was used on my picnic table project a few posts back, except I used it in a spray.
So that little project is done and on to the next. I am trying to get things checked off of my project list before the holiday's get here and you know they are right around the corner.
Have a wonderful day!!
