transferring the design onto the floorcloth
I started a new floorcloth this week that I am donating for a benefit auction in December. I get hit hard this time a year for donations but this one I didn't have to think about for even eight seconds. I am so thrilled that I can do something!
The sale of this rug will benefit a young man from our community that is battling leukemia. He went to school with our daughter and worked at the western store where we buy our horse and dog feed. I decided on a bull rider because that is Austin's passion. I decided to do another neon cowboy because that has been my biggest seller this year and new ones are so fun to do!
getting started with the color
I'd like to thank the late, great Chris LeDoux for serenading and inspiring me this afternoon. I now know what caption I'm going to use for the neon sign...you, on the other hand will have to wait a little longer. It's most appropriate and will be soooo cool! This is going to be the only one I will do exactly like this so please, if you are local come out to
(Jerome) Davis Arena, 5615 Elmer Beeson Road, Archdale, December 12th and bid, bid, bid!
I will post the finished product next week.
It's easier to see your mistakes when looking at photos!
So, back to the main purpose here....
If you have a Facebook account you can join
Team Austin for updates on his health and for details on the upcoming benefit rodeo and auction.
The most important thing we can do for Austin is pray for him and his family of course but there is one more thing..
