The Sexy Rooster, Part 2: Several years ago I completed a rooster stove backsplash in a kitchen. The client was a big collector of rooster-themed decor: pillows, dishes, tea towels, cookie jars. Everything rooster. Another client saw the backsplash on my website and has asked for her own version of the Sexy Rooster (so named because the inspiration photo I found on the internet, taken somewhere in Indonesia, was entitled, "sexy rooster." I think it was his shapely thighs). This time, we're bumping it up: this rooster will be accompanied not by a plump hen, but by a vintage red barn on the horizon painted with pro-Aggie slogans. The client has specifically requested that no burnt orange be used in the design. Stay tuned.
