Making a Swedish Welcome (Valkommen) plaque for my daughter-in-law's birthday.  Couldn't find a pattern so I am working out my own.  These are the test cuts on the Dala horse and the Rosemaling trim.

Yup.  Just when you think you are making progress with your cutting skills, you try something like this.  Happily this plaque when finished will be viewed from a distance.  

The Swedish Dala horse is really a spartan version.  Here is what the fully fleshed out version looks like:  xcgnL6rMi.thumb.gif.11117e1161e90ee5d127453a198f2c2b.gif 

The Norwegian Rosemaling comes from Vectorstock.com page 25355.

I would guess that a great many of the denizens of the Village have never seen the Dala horse.  You have to live in a Scandinavian-influenced culture to fully appreciate it (let alone pay the dollars to buy one!). ;)
