Rocking Horse Make-Over

"Recycled rocking horse make-over – a dumpster dive find that was amazing. Give a long forgotten friend a sorely needed make over. The rocking horse redo transform a well-loved friend to a partner who is ready to ride again. This was not a dumpster dive per se, it was more of a roadside rescue as the rocking horse was sitting next to the dumpster on the side of the road. I had to do a u-turn to pick up the wild beast."

NotesPosted late Friday afternoon. Uses DecoArt Paint if you need a project for them.
