Unexpected Suprises

While Ollie/Jasper (I seem to be leaning more towards the name Ollie because my dad thinks Jasper is too feminine for a gelding) was quite a surprise, I was even more surprised when I got an email from Devon Comstock, who won my recent rope halter giveaway....

"Hi, I just got the halters! They look awesome. Thanks so much for sending them :) Included a couple of pictures!

- Devon 
*Feel free to use anything in this email on your blog ;D"

So, I thought I might as well show you her pictures....

I am so glad that you enjoy them, Devon!! They look so good on your models. :)


I got this also in my email inbox.....

...and this.....

2015 Collector Club Model-Tallulah.
I think I am going to be part of the collector club now.

..plus this.....

These two foals are Breyer website exclusives. I think I will get them, after I finish buying everything for Ollie/Jasper. I cannot wait for him to come tomorrow!!! I will talk in more depth about Poncho, Champ, and the 2015 collector horse soon.

The Leaning Tower Of Totilas

I don't know if your Totilas leans, but mine sure does.....

He has already tried to fall over once, and so he isn't on my shelf of models. Instead, his place is on my dresser. 

By the way, he is wearing his new Mint colored rope halter and lead rope. I will (very soon) put the rope halters up for sale. More on that later.....

Sorry this is a quick post, but I am going to a friends and will be back later. Till then!

On A Roll

I have made 20 rope halters in the past two days. I am preparing for a Live show I might go to (my first one!), my birthday is this upcoming Monday (September 1st), and I hope to get three or four new Traditionals in (hopefully) mint or factory mint condition so that I can show them.

 I am on a roll.

I now have six colors I am using for my rope halters. Black, Brown, Tan, Pink, Blue, and Dark Purple. I have Silver and Gold clasps. The next time I go to the store I am going to get Slate colored clasps and more thread colors. 

On the other hand......

I think Magnum's Firecracker likes his new abode. On my dresser. In my ten year old barn. 

Happy boy!

More about my birthday, the live show, Firecracker's new house, and more later!

Progress Report(s)

Hello everybody!
I have progress reports for three models who are being etched/customized. Sherbet (the horse in this post) is now getting his mapping and detailing. He should be finished very soon. I also have another etchie named Moonshine, who is also currently being etched.

On the other hand.....I have a mare who I have been working on for month's on and off, like most of my customs and etchies. Her name is Calypso. I etched her back in '13, and then in early April this year, I decided to paint over the etched parts. She is a Classic Warmblood mare.

. 

I hope to also finish her this weekend along with the others. She has already started to get her mapping, and has a custom tail made out of epoxy. I am hand-painting her in acrylics.


Have a nice day!

Hello everybody! I am very excited to show you some beautiful lead ropes that match the rope halters......four of them will be in the giveaway!

I am very sorry that the lighting isn't best. I was taking these at 9:00 p.m. yesterday evening. 

The lead ropes are made out of the very same thread as the lead rope. 

Random picture of Phoenix. I also took this photo last night.
