My Tish Stool

Entitled "My Tish Stool" because our white Persian, Tish, seems to think this is her stool. :-)

The stool itself was something my grandfather made decades ago while tinkering away in his garage. It was originally painted a "John Deere" type of green and was nearly tossed out when we went through my grandmother's things, dubbed as an item not likely to sell. Well, the packrat/sentamentalist/artist in me could not simply toss out this little stool created at my grandfather's hands! So I hauled it home and stared at it for a few months (part of the creating process...;) until I knew what role it was meant to play in its new home!

So I painted it black and used Tulip Colorpoint Paintstitching paints to create this faux cross-stitch look. The paint is simply little beads of paint in sem-straight ;) rows.
