Artist Julia Persson-Morrill has had a life long interest in Dala Horses but didn't start to carve and paint them until just a few years ago. Some of the wooden horses are sold out of her studio, she can often be seen working on them out in her garden. She is happy to show the horses or share her skills with visitors all summer.

Making Changes to Dala Horse Designs
Sometimes I'm not real happy with the way a horse turns out (this one had daisies around the top and saddle area) so I sanded it down and started over.
This time I decided to let my more traditional styled one influence the design but then put my own spin on it.
This turned out brighter and more fibrant so I thought it was a fun design to use on party goods at Zazzle.
