Violet - before and after...

Violet - before and after her 'unicorn-ectomy'... that little bit in the center was a bit of surgery to make her shorter. I gave her a bit of paint and made a skirt for her. She needed to be holding something so I gave her a dog to hold. I even did something with those wings...I'll have to take a picture.

Violet's Waterbed

The painted Lady has a name - "Violet’s Villa"!!!!

Violet is the single mother of twin daughters, Rose and Lily. (Are you catching the floral theme here?) Violet is a ‘free spirit’ and Rose and Lily are following in their mother’s footsteps. You never know who will turn up in Violet’s house... there are often drop in visitors who forget to leave.

I decided Violet needed a waterbed... The fabric is from an old tie I got at the Salvation Army Thrift Shop. (I knew I'd find a use for it.) The bed itself is made from a scrap of MDF and a scrap of black Perspex (Plexiglass) leftover from a kitchen project.

The oversize pink tweezers in the background are 'cheater' chopsticks...very useful for furniture placement.
