8/28/08 – Here she is!

I promised to post pictures of the custom painting touches that I put on my new Mach 1.  Usually I prefer to take photos outside in natural light, but today it rained ALL DAY.  Great for the plants, so I didn’t mind a bit (I actually love rainy days), but as a result these photos were taken inside, with a flash.  I’ll put up better ones in Flickr when the weather cooperates, but for now…. on with the show:

 

 

… and there she is.  I added a thin round piece of wood to make the yarn ball – that’s not a regular part of the standard wheel.  It’s attached in a manner that’s easy to remove and doesn’t interfer with any of the working parts.

I’ve never given any of my wheels a name, but for some reason I think this lady deserves one.  Any ideas?
