Create your Own Carousel Horse
Carousel horses, that are true antiques, can sell for thousands of dollars. Antique carousel horses can be the focal point of any collection. Molds have been created of these grand carousel horses. In this article I will show you where to purchase them and guide you through the process.
Most anyone with reasonable talent can paint with a brush and finish an antique reproduction carousel horse. Unpainted or unfinished carousel horse molds can be purchased ready to paint. These molded horses are made of a high density polyethylene which is strong and very forgiving to the finisher. The artist is able to make the choice to purchase a horse with seams to sand at a reduced price or choose a ready to paint surface.
Time to create an antique reproduction. Choose the size you desire. Full Size, half size or small horses. Full size horses at a full 65 inches high are a very large project. I have seen Elegant Standers and Royal Standers that really do look like the horses we all would ride or stand next to. Half sized unfinished carousel horses are probably the most popular to artists and hobbyist. This size fits real well in baby nurseries and little girls rooms. Most of the horses that I have seen available come complete with the brass pole that runs through the horse.
Let’s Get to Painting ! There are many ways to finish a carousel horse. Most people like the traditional painted horse that recreates the memory of the Merry Go Round. Some artists are able to locate pictures of actual horses where they are mounted on carousels. Right down to the details, the photo can be copied to recreate that special horse. Some painters like to reproduce the carved wooden horse effect. Special types of paint and techniques are available to recreate the look of a real wood surface.One of the final stages is choosing a clear coating to provide a clear finish around the painted surface. Some artists have chosen to take this step a bit further and add multiple coats of gloss creating an almost deep glass effect. Small pictures and material can be added under the gloss to get a desired look.
Creating your own antique carousel horse remake is a very rewarding project. Reproductions have sold for hundreds even thousands of dollars. I know of at least two small businesses that have been created finishing and selling these horses.

Music from the ONCE Festival, 1961-1966 [Box Set] $66.76 Ann Arbor, Michigan, seems an unlikely site for the establishment of a major avant-garde festival that would shake the new-music community. Tucked away in America’s heartland, the city is equally removed from the Eastern metropolises whose artists pride themselves on sensing the pulse of the times, and from the nonconformist West Coast. Yet during the 1960s Ann Arbor played host to one of the most… |
