Little painted rocking horse

How time flies, before I knew it - it dawned my friends' daughter Freya's first birthday! I was asked to revamp an old wooden rocking horse for her to play on, and was excited to have a new project. I started by sanding off the paint, and then priming it a lovely soft cream colour.

Next I set about it with a mixture of acrylic and matt decorating paint! Here are the results, after a lot of repainting and experimenting -lots of pretty patterns as usual! I was so pleased she seemed to like it as I loved making it for her! Anyone else have anything interesting for me to make?
