Dala Designs around the Garden


In addition to the Dala Horse on my arbor I've used a lot of the horizontal laths on it to practice border designs that may appear on horses in the future.


Yes, this is pretty weatherd, It's been outdoors for a number of years. We have plans to tear down the arbor, repair and repaint it sometime soon and then the fun will start all over again.


I plan to save the dala horse and use it on another project.


Even when I'm not painting actual horses, I'm practicing brushstrokes and working on designs that can appear on just about anything around here.



These horse heads were actually wood scraps left over from cutting out the wood blanks for my horses. He wanted me to see if there was anything that I could do with them. I think it's kind of cute, what do you think? I made this one into a Christmas ornament.
