Stick Horse Punch Needle


Here are my new projects.  These are vintage like. The Stick Horse.  Wow a time gone by.  I enjoyed creating these characters and decorating them.  I painted the dowels and the candle bulbs for the carousel pole.  There is the long beaded reins for the imaginary rider.  They are then stuffed. They can take up to 12 -14 hours to create.  These are 13 inches long and I am making them for Christmas stocking stuffers.

Punch needle is something I discovered one afternoon while shopping around Occoquan Va.  A cute small town with unique shops.  I saw a small miniature punch needle rug looking like something out of the mid 1800 's.  It was beautiful.  I have been doing needle punch ever since. I have had friends ask me to do a tutorial on needle punch so I have been working on that and hope to have one up soon.  Jana
