| | Paint it gray and do a photo transfer of a mouse

| | If you mess up, you can always sand the job again
and
| start
| | over.

| | | Jim,
| | | I found the URL you sent. I love collecting
"pigs" I
| | have just a plain old
| | | gray HP mouse. It is kind of skinny, I'm good with
| | painting but not
| | | artistically to be able to paint faces and things
like
| | that. Hmmmm, now you
| | | have me wanting to ReMod my mouse. Might brighten
it
| up a
| | bit.
