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.

Lampshade Design with Flowers and Dala Horses
This project began as an up-cycling project to freshen up a discolored and stained lampshade.
.
I started out by painting flowers over the damaged binding and then tracing some of my wooden Dala horses on it.
I ended up adding all of the other designs to pull the flowers and the horses together.
The more I worked on it the busier the design got and the more fun I had.
The great thing about this project is that it gave me a lot of other ideas for things to paint.
