Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Springtime Vardo.
She gives you super easy to follow instructions. If you prefer and written version of the instruction you can always refer to the PDF that is provided with the purchase of the file.
What is a Vardo:
A vardo (also wag(g)on, living wagon, van, and caravan) is a traditional horse-drawn wagon used by British Romani people as their home. Possessing a chimney, it is commonly thought of as being highly decorated, intricately carved, brightly painted, and even gilded. The British Romani tradition of the vardo is seen as a high cultural point of both artistic design and a masterpiece of woodcrafters art. The heyday of the living wagon lasted for roughly 70 years, from the mid-1800s through the first two decades of the twentieth century. Not used for year-around living today, they are shown at the Romanichal horse fairs held throughout the year, the best known of which is Appleby Horse Fair.
This is my take of the Vardo.
