This very handsome devil of a horse is actually a copy of a zigsaw puzzle that I saw in a catalogue. I fell in love and traced around the 2" diagram. Then using a friends photocopier enlarged the drawing to 18" x 24". Next step was to hand paint the orange yellow fabric, then using reverse applique to finish. The indian is exactly the same method except the pattern started out as a tattoo

Fantastic results from great inspiration!
What great inspiration! Very beautiful!
What a really neat way to use your inspiration! I love the horse, always been a "horse nut".
Both of those pieces are wonderful. Thanks for show them.
Cool idea with the horse and the Indian. Now what are you going to do with them?
Hi Sue :) It's great to see the indian again ;) I don't think I got to see the horse in really life. Didn't you do a similar one of a horseman?
Beautiful work Sue
Both of these are great, but I'm really impressed by the horse - probably the colors. How wonderful that you can do this kind of artwork.
Very cool Sue, I never think of unique ways to use my "inspirations" like this.
I just sent an email to you regarding P&B swap...just incase you miss it, there's a request to forward the message to Anastasia for me :) Thank you for joining us!
