More Wall Hangings



Here are the last felted wool wall hangings for the show in two weeks. The first picture is remarkably bad (notice the wrinkled sheet? could you even see past it? it almost makes my eyes bleed, but I digress...). The horses were based on the Swedish Dala horse, and a book I got out of the library called Per and the Dala Horse by Rebecca Hickox and illustrated by Yvonne Gilbert. I took it out of the library for the munchkins, Eden and Arlo, so the book is intended for the five and under set but it did inspire me to research and make work based on the original carved pine horses from Sweden. In fact, I don't think I'm done with the Dala horse yet.
