rocking horse

Hi everyone. A picked up a few of these small horses from a local store. This one I covered with white gesso. Then I gave it 3 rough coats of white chalk paint. Using a sponge I dabbed the paint on roughly to give it an uneven look. One dry I sanded back some areas to give it a distressed look. Using a thick needle I scratched "hair" onto the tail. Using Autentico light brown wax I gave a good coat of wax, once dry I polished it. Using some beautiful small roses from I am Roses I created a chain around the neck area. I used a pearl for the eyes and a bronze embellishment as the saddle. Thanks for stopping by xx
