Sometimes I Just Feel Like a Nut – Zebra Squirrels

May 27, 2009

I keep walking past these stupid squirrel lawn ornaments at work.  Every time I walk by I think “zebra”.  I don’t know why. (I never know where those kinds of thoughts come from or WHY..I keep telling everyone that it’s scary inside my head but they just don’t believe me.)  Anyway, I just had this huge itch to paint one to look like a zebra.  Then the other day I noticed that one was broken so I swiped it!  Perfect!  This way, if I mess it up I won’t feel so bad because we would have damaged it out and thrown it away any way.  That’s the kind of experiment you can feel ok about.

So off to my little creative corner I went.  I base coated the little guy with white Patio Paint.  It took about three coats to get it to look the way I wanted.  While it was drying I got on the internet and printed out a couple of pictures of zebras just for inspiration. I painted stripes with black patio paint and…

TA-DA!

I know, it was a nutty thing to do…but sometimes ya just feel like a nut!  I’m seriously thinking about BUYING a pair and painting them for my yard.  They will fit right in with my tie dyed flamingos.  What?  You haven’t seen the tie dyed flamingos yet?  I’ll have to share that with you too.
