Beaded Carousel Horse
November22
I made this carousel horse while I worked at Lewiscraft. It was a lot easier than it looked. I started with a papier mache form, which I base coated in the corresponding colors I was going to be using for the beads – white for the body, peach for the hair, etc. That way the space between the beads is a lot less noticeable. Then, I grabbed my glue gun, and those strings of beads you buy by the meter, and just started wrapping, gluing as I went along. I think it turned ou really neat, and the manager loved it so much she put it on display in the store. I stopped working there a few years before Lewiscraft shut down, soI have no idea whatever happened to it. Hopefully it found a good home with a little girl!
