Bird Leg


Here is a picture of one leg of a pair of jeans that I just finished. I bought these $80 jeans for $8.00 from an online catalog, wondering why they were reduced so drastically. The stenciled paint job on the leg (only one leg is embellished) was lousy. I could either return it or play with it. The fit is just right, and you know how you hate to give up a good fitting jean - so I decided to paint over the original stencil (which looked like mud). Then I decided it needed just one more thing and I had some fabric with bird prints, so I cut one out and used fabric glue to hold it, and then stitched around the piece. I also went in and did a little extra paint on the bird and branch. Hope you like it.
