| I adore clydesdales.... here's the pic I'm using :
Here's my WIP so far . I enlarged the pic on my printer - thought I'd cheat & get all the shading and glue it to my backing . Wrong ! Didn't happen .I got the outline but hardly any shading. So I spray glued the pic in the frame & worked from that. I had to use my imagination alot ! Here it is so far :
I want to get most of this done by the weekend ...I'm having a Hysterectomy on Tuesday & I'm not sure whether I'll be able to bend over to work on it.. I have been laughing and swearing the last couple hours while doing this. I wanted some gold balls as fancy decorations on the harness. All I had were gold "Magnetic" beads. ( Bought for a project I never did ) so I used them on here. Those damn things had a mind of their own .I'd get them placed down in the glue and suddenly they'd repel each other and move. I'd look away - look back and they got all wonky by themselves. I tried to turn them so the holes wouldn't be on top . Nope -- they just stuck to each other any way they wanted. I even had one *travel* an inch away to another bead ! It was like I had ghosts helping me ! LOLOLL I can't wait to get this surgery done so I can get back to normal. I have ton more Clydesdales mosiacs planned - but absolutely no more magnetic beads !!! LOL

| Well if you don't beat all. Girlie, this is truly magnificent. GEESH - you're talented. No way could I do that, and my DD wants me to make a mosaic of a horse of which she took a picture when she was a Road Nurse here. I don't know where to start. I sooooooo love what you've done already, and w/follow w/interest. You made ME LOL at your description of the beads. GO Girl. When I had that surgery done, it wasn't so bad that I couldn't do hand work. You'll do fine. |

| amazing!!!!! This is really going to be amazing. Had a hysterectomy a few years back, didn't keep me down long. And as if that didn't remove enough womanhood I then had to have a double mastectomy. Just a little less weight to carry around!! You'll do fine.((((((HUGS))))))) |

| My hubby moved a bed that Klinger gave me(sits up like a hospital bed), out to the living room so I could watch tv and be around people(I had slaves!lol!) Plus I was right by the window and could watch the birds. Just don't try to do too much too soon. I also bought a belly band and it Really helped. Anyhoo, I am so enjoying this horse! You are doing him proud!!! |
