A sorta, kinda finished ducky, in front of some just barely started duckiesI have a new job, painting yard decoration animals for our milk inspector. I have no guidelines or patterns...this is just coming off the top of my head...which is amazingly empty just now. Outdoor paint is a lot harder to blend than artist's paint too, I can tell you. I hate to admit how long it took me to mix up duck foot orange on Saturday....and I got it right the first time. I am kinda, sorta dreading this....
I have one duck-ette just about finished. When I get her done I will post a photo....maybe......
Good for you! I'd love to know just what kind of paint you use. I've occasionally wanted to paint some little treasure to put in my garden, but didn't know what to use.
ReplyDeleteAnd I vote you show us a photo, no matter what you think of your effort. It'll sure be better than what I could do.
Duck feet? Crackers! 'Round the bend! I tell you, she's finally hit the loony bin!

If you need some models I will send my ducks your way.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough job, but someone has to do it. BAHAHAHHAHA.
