Another Day of Dala Horse Christmas Ornaments

I realized a couple of things yesterday as I worked on these ornaments. First that I hadn't given you clear pictures after the carving and sanding so I'll start with that today. The second thing was that I'd missed a learning opportunity by just starting to paint without researching Swedish designs and finding my own way to combine them for an original twist on tradition. When these are finished they should be much better than my first attempts shown in the next few pictures.
