And, yes, I did comment on Lostn51's paint job -- you're certainly entitled to your opinion... but I think it's a wonderful restoration using a beautiful color.

Sad. Just my opion that I do not like it at all. We all do have an opinion so why is there some bashing because our opinion differs from yours? Each to their own. There will be people I'm sure that just love it & it will sell. Maybe. Who knows? Interesting to watch it & see if it does sell and for how much.
Mamagus, I did read the entire page about the seller & her machines. I still think she could have done something far more attractive than this, to that beautiful old machine! Just my opinion. But it is her business what she does with her stuff. That does not mean that everybody is going to love it or even like it. I guess if it doesn't sell that will be an indication that I was wrong & nobody but her thinks it is beautiful. It may sell for top dollar. :thumbup:

My comment was not that she use the Feather Weight, but I just did not like the chosen medium to transform the machine into art, that is just my opinion. I am sure someone will find it lovely. My taste in art if very different, just as my Mom. She still trying to figure out where I came from, since my taste in art is so very different from her's. Sorry if I offended anyone with my first opinion.

Not that I would want to own it, but the concept is certainly original. I am surprised that she is selling it with all the work put into it. I read through her listing and it is obvious that she is VERY proud of this machine and the work she did. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
