Stampede on the making

Ann Woods carboardhorse stampede


Surfing through Blogland I met Katie and her lovely horses. Katie told me that she makes one horse a day using a pattern from artist Ann Wood. She also told me that I could download the pattern from Ann Woods website. Did I hurry over? Yep!

This is what Ann wrote:

“In 2006 I started making cardboard horses. They were a self imposed assignment, a daily creative task intended to motivate and loosen me up, little experiments, paralysis prevention. My plan was to make a cardboard horse everyday, Monday through Friday until I had 100. I did and exhibited the group at Tinlark in Los Angeles in 2007. I’ve made 3 patterns, two adults and a colt, to share and I hope you make a cardboard horse or two or three or maybe a little family or maybe your own stampede! “

Did I download the pattern? You bet ya!

This is my first. I called him Spot.


I think I am going to make one from a tin can and maybe a felted one and....I can feel an addiction coming on....

Take care

Love it! I love the birds of Ann Wood or even better her castle. I missed these horses. But I like the idea of more horses (read a collection) very much! Keep us posted please!
