Giraffic progress - a morning's work
Good news! Giraffic Park has a new home thanks to my lovely neighbours and their garage. It's still not tall enough to stand him up but I've got him on my homemade wheely trolly thing and so have been able to paint in relative comfort. It's cold and the wind swirls rubbish around but it's undercover and roomy!
Yesterday I did this much (after spending a good half hour or so trying to unwrap him without bashing his head on the floor!).
Sorry this one's upside down
Then this morning the prehistoric giraffes got their spots
I thought I'd try some green spray on his legs - just as well that's all going to be painted over anyway! Most of it's going to need a few layers to look less streaky, but that's ok. My spraying finger's gone a nasty yellowy green again and it's a bugger to wash off - makes me look like a 60 a day smoker!

For your spraying-finger issue ... have you considered latex exam gloves? They're flexible / thin enough so you don't lose your sense of touch, and your fingers will stay finger-colored. 😉
