Whimsical at heart, our Carousel horse was a rescued toy. Taken from the old spring horse graveyard, our steed was cleaned, based and painted creating a beauty to behold! The body is painted in a gel white using a pearl medium. Florals are added to the saddle and a buillon fringe, tassels, braided cord and vintage broaches adorn our pony. A fluted pole was placed through the center and a weighted stand was created for its base.
Selling almost immediately, I have driven by and looked over into a local shop window where he sits as an adornment. Now I'm looking for another large spring horse. I want to place one in my rose garden!
I have so wanted one of these since I was very young. They are delightful and this one is a beauty. I hope you find many more!

Hi!
ReplyDeleteIf you find an old Spring Horse in a flea market, even if it's cracked or has a hole in it from abuse, let me know! I'll create one for you!
