I'm not sure that it is vintage, but its a really cool piece!hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305183445125660592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-89255565451970381772013-12-05T13:37:56.359-06:002013-12-05T13:37:56.359-06:00Wasn't that absolutely awesome?

If I were to do that it would be a complete an utter disaster. HA HA! Richie carves things like this in a very similar way. It's how he made my little Eames bird copy. Amazing that each one gets hand painted so beautifully. I can't lie though, I'm partial to the plain white ones. Love them.

The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth have had a "friendly feud" for many years.<br /><br />There was one brush stroke that was particularly amazing...as the man finished painting the bridle and put on a final flourish. He did it so quickly and so precisely that I could hardly believe what I had seen.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-45003732610384116512013-12-05T11:23:30.764-06:002013-12-05T11:23:30.764-06:00It's amazing to see how popular the Dala horse...It's amazing to see how popular the Dala horses have become! Of course, we Norwegians never like to admit that the swedes have succeeded in certain areas, there's a bit of neigh our rivalry going on, but I have to admit this is quite impressive:-) Loved to see the prosess of making them, my goodness, the precision of those paintbrushes!tovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181574311574113584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-73723413458306894992013-12-05T02:01:13.252-06:002013-12-05T02:01:13.252-06:00I loved that video.
