Painting the tractor

Sometimes my job description as a textile designer can involve some quite varied activities. To prepare for the photo shoot of the new Hiccups farm theme collection I decided that my great-grandfather's Fordson tractor could do with a bit of sprucing up. Enlisting the help of a few family members, sandpaper and quite a few cans of paint, I think the finished result looks pretty good!
