Title: Another Scottish Lady
Post by: skypurr on June 25, 2011, 19:46:59

When I made Lady McAngus I said that I wanted to try painting another lady using different colours.  It's taken me a while but here she is.....

Although the ball gown does show off the colour of the pearlescent paint, I do like her without; I think she looks ready for travelling...

This tartan is loosly based on a McGregor tartan neckerchief I had when I was a Cub Scout leader years ago.

The original idea of painting her was to try to sell the customs to generate some money to buy more Playmobil for Kirkbean Exhibition, but when I'd finished I couldn't bring myself to sell her  :-[ 
... so I'm selling Lego instead  ;D

I plan to try doing more with different colour, but not until after the end of July!

I can see why! She's gorgeous. :love:
Really like the red and green combo!

Oh, she's beautiful! I can see why you can't bring yourself to part with her. But I know she'd sell! Fantastic job.

She's a fine lady and it's alway better to sell Lego in stead of Playmo.

She is so beautiful! I like that she looks just as pretty without the big skirt; that way she can actually sit down at the table at dinner parties!  :clap:

Thought I'd replied to everyone's comments but I must not have pressed 'post'  :-[

So Thank you all  :thanks: I don't feel so guilty about keeping her now!
I'm sure I'lll find a place for her at the Kirkbean Exhibition. 

Oh, BTW the Lego sold very well so I was able to buy more Playmo, including two large lots of steck and another circus tent  ;D

Elaine, you should do a how-to topic on painting plaid patterns. :yup:
