A little peak at the process of ornament making. Hand stamped on linen, then stuffed with raw wool. Special edition Caravan Farm Theatre ones are available at the boutique there! Lots of other designs at Fieldnotes.

Got to get out to Caravan last night and see the lovely mother mare who served as inspiration for this print, as well as her (very big) baby and teammate.
Big thank you to Sweet Grass Ranch for the reference pictures.
There’s still lots of Brabant horse ornaments at the boutique!
As always, an incredible show! The amount of talent that goes into a Caravan production is breathtaking; the acting, songs, beautifully crafted and styled costuming, the spellbinding lighting, intricately painted sets, and of course the teamsters and horses. Charles Dickens’ source material is honoured in this beyond any adaptation I’ve seen to date, magical and haunting with just the right dash of comedy.

Caravan Farm Theatre’s winter show is magical. I recently carved a tribute to it that will be available at the boutique! Frame-able recycled cotton and marigold deckle edge cards with plantable wildflower seed envelopes, organic cotton tea towels, and cotton patches/quilting squares.
