Thanks Sahm and LeatheFlea!
LeatheFlea ... Nope, no pattern, just went blindly into it!!! At the time I wasn't familiar with PPing at all, and now would probably go towards that. It definitely was a one-in-a-lifetime project, and probably of all the things I have done, it is the one of which I am the most proud. So many times, I came close to tossing it aside, but because the owner of the cow knew that I was working on it, I simply could not quit! If you check the link I provided, you can see the original picture that I started with ... both are hanging on my wall, side by side, and remind me to anything is possible. I think more so, if you go into it blindly!
