Each creation by Cart Before the Horse is an exceptionally wrought, three dimensional painting on cloth. Dolls, figures, whimsical characters and fanciful beings are each made with quilter's muslin that has been painted and sanded, then painted and sanded again, giving the fabric a rich patina that feels like old leather and an utterly soulful appearance. The creators of these wonderful works are a dynamic and talented team; Jo James designs, paints and sculpts, her partner Dylan Curry stuffs and sews. Inspiration for the creations comes from the flotsam and jetsam of every day life with children, like little "treasures" left in pockets, favorite storybooks, toys, and a true sense of play. Jo and Dylan started “Cart Before the Horse” in 2003 when they moved to a rural part of Oregon, I first bought from them in 2006, and have collected their work for some time. I am thrilled to now be able to present Cart Before the Horse creations to Earth Angels’ customers and, as a Cart Before the Horse policy, shipping to US destinations is always FREE. E-mail us to be advised of their latest arrivals and their exclusive designs for Earth Angels.
