Back to designing dala horses. This one started with a drawing.

This one was especially fun. I shot a lot of photos of one of the horses that I had designed, carved and painting and combined 3 of the views here.

Back to the Sketchbook

As the New Year begins I've gone back to my sketchbook and some of my previous work and have been thinking about what I'd like to be doing with Dala Horses this year.



I paint flowers a lot...on everything. I'm not sure whether I want to go down that road again.



There are a lot of other designs I could be working on. Other ideas I'm considering are designing a set of "how tos" that could be used as the basis for a book or a class sometime in the future.

Before attempting that I'll be doing a set of simple drawings that can be used on some rubber stamps in my zazzle store.

I 'm enjoying looking through my photos of horses that I've done in the last few years and may work some of them into a book.

Soooo many choices that choosing one may be a challenge. I'll keep you posted as I work.


I made this boxed set of ornaments about five years ago and it may be time to try a project like this again. My Designs have improved a lot since then and this time I can order a nice box from Zazzle with one of my horse  designs on a ceramic tile on the lid. I'm looking forward to seeing how that will turn out.


Yes, the possibilities really are endless and I can't wait to get started!
