Good day. Hope all is well. Ed was here this morning and now I have 10 doors to paint, nail holes to patch, and the final coat on all the trim, baseboard, and crown. I chose Sherwin Williams Studio Taupe for the foyer. Love it. I'll be busy! But I wanted to show you Two Horses finished. I changed the top of the design and used DMC 221, 355, and GAST Mulberry for the flowers. DMC 469 was changed to 3363 and 936 changed to 3362. Horses were done in 3031. No matter how I snap this, the linen weave is distorted in the photo.

Frame? No. Possibly an envelope that is laced in the back with a flap. Until then, it is the perfect size on 35 count for the standard 6" round paper mache box. I will probably do the design on the teal linen when my arthritic hand is no longer stiff from painting. I haven't decided if I will chart it first or just wing it. I contacted the owner of the original and never received a reply of any kind.
Enjoy the weekend and stay safe.
I'll leave you with a snapshot of the brats looking like little angels.
Thanks for visiting!

I feel a sigh of relief now that your horses are finished..
Now you can enjoy painting ?
It's funny how kitties can wind themselves around each other when they are sleeping.. The picture of your "angels" makes them look very cozy.
Enjoy your weekend.

As always, your color choices are right on the mark, Marly--Two Horses looks great! I actually really like it wrapped around the box--nice to have it on display until you get around to finishing it up...
Glad the paint color is to your liking--sounds like a good weekend for staying inside and painting based on our weather forecast :)
Gorgeous! Love it on the box!
What a wonderful finish!!! Love it!
The horses look great! You are using two of my favorite colors of red mulberry and DMC 355.
You did such a great job working out this antique design! I really like how it looks on the box, different!!
Your kitties look so content!
Happy painting!
Well, good to see some things never change..I may have been gone for months, but you keep stitching along...beautifully as always!...Jan
I really like Two Horses on that box! It looks great. Nice seeing the brats together.
love the horses and they are perfect on the round box! I frame everything and need to be a little more creative!
Fabulous! Although my adult sons would say the eyes creep them out. I love it, they just don't understand folkart or primitives. It looks wonderful on the box. Can't wait to see what you do next.
I love your finish!
Isn't that a Primitive Needle design? If so, the reason you haven't heard back from the designer is because she passed away a couple of years ago. Love it on the box, great idea.
It looks great! Congrats!
Love your two horses finish Marly and it looks wonderful on the box! The brats look very peaceful and happy, deceiving aren't they?! Deb
