    Frog and Dog

    Decoupage fabric over plastic figure. I Love the frog, not wild about the dog. I should have painted the dog white 1st. The black base skewed the color of the fabric.

    Cattle panel and post fence questions

    Everybody Loves Zephyr

    Zephyr seems to attract alot of attention from the others. He fit right in with the other kitties as soon as he walked in the door 11 years ago. He's not prejudiced either, he will snuggle with anybody!
