Running Horses

Just a little while before my Birthday I came across this wonderful and very generously provided tutorial by Ann Wood for making her beautiful cardboard horses, I had so admired them when I first saw them and I decided to make a little herd of my own as a Birthday treat.
They now charge across the top of my lounge room doorway.

They were such a pleasure to make, I became more free and inventive with painting each one

If you feel in need of a little creative treat for yourself give these a go they are relaxing and fun and even a bit pretty when they are done.

    Beautiful! I love the three in the last photo – the lace mane and tail is fab. So inspiring.

    I love how each one is different! SO PRETTY!

    they are amazing, christina. you have far surpassed the original designs and certainly given them your trademark jamfancy vibe!
    how long did they take? they look great – are you going to keep them on your wall?

    I love Ann Woods far more than mine, hers are like poems, but I think I will keep them on the wall, maybe make a few more too.
