Saw these at IKEA recently. Are they…modelled after the Gävle Goat?

Edited-to-add (some time in early 2024): To all the people who have since helpfully added informative comments and links about the history of the Gävle Goat, Thank You! I've learnt so much from your posts!

To anyone seeing this now and in the future, I now know more about the Gävle Goat than I possibly need to, so you can stop flooding this post with the same-ish info now! Thanks!

And to people who cannot fathom someone not knowing about Christmas straw goats, please read this post and have some empathy and perspective. Thanks again!

IKEA wooden drawers box revamp: watercolour map style!

After my arm surgery, when I was wearing a cast and doing everything in my life one-handed, I needed a project to help the time pass, and I decided to take this filthy worn out old wooden Ikea drawers box and give it a watercolour map glow-up. Sadly i do not have a fully accurate before photo, but it was covered in dust and glue residue from being taped closed for many moves over the years, and had a few spots where it was splintering on the corners and edges.

First step was to sand the shit out of it. We didn't have much sandpaper on hand when this whim first took me, so I used scraps of griptape my partner had leftover from setting up his last skateboard; it was extremely effective!

After it was sanded with the grip tape, and a followup series of much finer grit blocks I picked up at home hardware the next day, I gave it a wipe to remove dust, and then went in with watercolours on the unfinished wood.

The first washes were all very wet, and once they had dried they'd raised the grain significantly, so there was another round of fine grit sanding afterwards. Once that was done I gave everything a workable fixative spray to lock in the paint, and then a diluted transparent watercolour ground coating so I could confidently layer more paint on top. This second layer of paint was much darker, much more detailed and had less blurry wet edges, as you can see here:

Then we did another round of fixative + watercolour ground, and then I got to go in with the final touches - adding highlights to the edges of bodies of water, etc.

Then I got out the metallic copper paint and the tape and added decorative border lines to the drawers themselves, and also painted the top edges of the drawers metallic to really lean into the luxe aspect.

No photos of the insides, sadly, but I tinted each drawer a blue or green inside to keep things interesting and on theme.

Then another coat with the fixative all over, and then as many coats of varnish as my krylon can held, and now it's my favourite piece of storage!

While I used archival art supplies, I can't make any promises to myself about how long they will stay vibrant -- the wood is old, well used, and ikea made me no promises about its archival features when I bought it on sale in like 2001. So this might all be a fleeting glory, soon to fade and chip and wear out, but until then I am very very proud of it!

And I did it all with my non-dominant hand! It was so frustrating! But the results were well worth the fight.
