If it's Sunday, it's Rocking Horses

 

It's time to share a very unusual and beloved rocking horse.  Today Bleubeard and I are also joining Nicole for Sunday in the Art Room or SITAR, and Gillena for Sunday Smiles.   

Today I only have one rocking horse, but it is both beautiful and functional.  

 

It holds one of my rings I can't wear due to my lupus which makes my body break out around any ring, watch, or anything metal.  Before you ladies ask, I can't wear bras with metal fasteners.

 

It's even more functional than being a ring holder.

 

Do you see what the rocker is hiding?

 

Even PhotoShop couldn't lighten this enough for you to see it clearly.

 

 

Finally.  After over 30 photos, I got one that actually shows the functional part that's normally hidden.  Yes, it's a pencil sharpener.  It was a gift one year for Christmas.

 

A lousy close up of the face.  The background was in focus, the foreground wasn't.

 

I had a bit better luck with the tail.

 

I tried to show the copper patina, which doesn't show in the other photos.  Too bad even PhotoShop was unable to color correct with much luck.  At least, I hope you had a smile or two when you saw this one-of-a-kind rocking horse.
