Hi everybody! Today I'm discussing another item in Jane's attic: a stick horse that saw a lot of action as the favorite mount of children through many years of joyful play!
But let us go back to how it all began: a pretty, snowy white stick horse, looking fresh out of the factory! Below are two images showing the stick horse in its original condition.
Yet, years of playing have changed the little horse. He got weathered, and, if viewed in a certain light, he even looks a little bit... spooky. But that's OK, because the invisible hands of time have given him more 'character', I even dare to say an individuality that he didn't have before. Even the camera loves him so much more now! Besides, the children still play with him, at night, in the old attic...
Thanks for visiting, and see you next time!

What an amazing transformation. With the weathering and extra detail you gave the horse more character. You gave him a mysterious history. It definitely looks worn by time which came with lots of hours of playtime. Well done José.
