Summer 2009 Visit to the Brass Ring Carousel Studio

The block for the body of a new animal arrived at the studio. This is the beginning stage for all the carved animals.


The progress on our reindeer is slow.


The body is developing some shape. The leg blocks are resting on the lower shelf.


We'll show some photos of other animals in progress below.




The horse below, Kiwi, awaits the first coat of primer.

The baby lamb who will be placed with the Lioness on the carousel is in progress near Taffy the alpaca's head:

The strawberries on the horse below look so real you can almost eat them!


The painting area of the studio is always an exciting place to visit. Each animal gets many coats of paint, beginning with primer. The details come to life even more vividly with the artists' amazing expertise. The cayuse pony, Kalapuya is shown below.


Painting progress on two other horses, Sassie Mae and Lightning are shown below.
