I am joining the CSI Mod Podge Challange.
Remember this rooster I showed you a few weeks ago that I found at an antique mall?
Remember this rooster I showed you a few weeks ago that I found at an antique mall?
Well it now looks like this...
I used Mod Podge, authentic French letters dating to 1904 and a vintage French song book from 1929 to create this one of a kind French rooster.
Decoupage: [French découpage, from découper, to cut up or out, from Old French descolper : des-, de- + colper, to cut.
Doesn't he look cute with a frayed burlap scarf?
Welcome Home,

Penny, that is the best looking rooster ever. Love it love it!!
It came out really good! I see some neat rolling pins on your table, too! You're always making something even better! ♥
Penny, he is adorable! I'm trying to think of something clever and musically related to say...I need my musical son here to help me. I love the rooster!

Very nice...love how it turned out :)
Penny~ this is really a cute idea! Thanks for sharing!
He is very chic!
You sent his humble beginnings packing...he looks marvelous dressed in French letters.
It turned out so cute! So perfect for your home.
He's perfect! You must have had so much fun decorating him.
Very cool ! I grew up on a chicken farm, so I always giggle at the idea of roosters or chickens as decor.... yours is very sophisticated however !
Thanks for sharing,

Soo cute! I like what you have done with it.
When I saw "le coq" and then saw that you mod podged it with french sheet music, I immediately thought of the song "le coq est mort." LOL Now I can't get it out of my head! One of those chansons that I learned in French class many years ago.
Looove!!!! :D
Mr. Rooster is a delight all dressed up in his scarf. I like the little pig in the first photo too. Would you believe I don't own a single barnyard animal, either decorative or real?

Ah, he does look quite the gentleman about town. I love it, Penny.
I love your La Chick!

Hi Penny, You certainly are creative... that rooster is gorgeous... How will you display him now--and where???? GORGEOUS!!!!
Have you all been to Dupont lately???? I read about a girl falling off of Rainbow Falls and dying... GOSH--why are people so stupid?????
Have a great week.

You did a nice job giving the rooster a makeover. He looks very elegant now!

Hi Penny,
Love your rooster! he looks so proper all dressed in black n white.
A very creative idea. I hope you keep him! I would.....

Oh my goodness! The rooster is fantastic. That is one lucky and gorgeous Le Coq! We had a bad google hit on the west coast about a week ago. Finally got my blog looking back to normal. I'd love you to come visit it.
PS. Does your rooster now sing in French?
How great, Penny! Love him, but then that figures, right? Thanks again for joining our giveaway, and for always being such a kind, sweet and caring friend. xo Lidy
