Sorry I have been gone so long! With the house redo we had to disconnect our satallite cables for a while, so I haven't been able to upload pictures or work at all in the house! But I finally have a little work space back and we have extensions running out to the living room now..so finally back to making some Purdy cool stuff!
Look my dream came true, a PINK HOUSE!!
Just kidding! If you ever choose to remodel an old house, be prepared for all kinds of surprises. False walls and ceilings, bizarre or non existant insulation, no square corners...but Kevin Wolf and Sons, the contractor we are working with, are doing an amazing job despite the crappy weather. The porch won't go on for a while yet, but you can see the shape of the new addition. The master bedroom is the room to the left.
This is my little bit of space I reclaimed. I have been sculpting in the basement and painting upstairs since the basement is too cold and dusty since we redid the floor due to flooding a year ago. But this dining room was the only entry way into the addition once the walls went up. We had to empty it for them to bring materials in to turn the corner into the new addition. They have everything in place now and the drywall is being finished, so I finally got my table back up last week. All my new bathroom fixtures and lights are still in here, but its better than nothing. Now its time to catch up!
Here is what the studio look like from the outside. That window is five feet tall and I have an amazing view of my horses in the pasture, my dream is almost here!
The studio isn't lit up yet, but its 200 sq feet, complete with a spot special to take pictures in!
This was the old laudry room and the entry into the studio. I decided to move the laundry downstairs so I wouldn't have to squeeze past it to go through the door. Once we took the washer dryer out, we found that it was a false wall behind them! So we opened it up and I know have a 50 sq foot prep room that will have its own work skin and storage!
I am finishing up some orders the next few weeks, then stay tuned for some amazing pieces that I will show this spring and can be purchased and taken to NAN 2011!
Tomorrow new baby pictures, the girls are getting weaned, should be fun.......hope the fences hold
Several people have asked for more pictures of Zips Painted Chic, here are some I took in the studio. She has a banded mane, braided forelock, and show sheened mane and tail for that show ring look. Again she is multi NAN qualified in halter, workmanship, and performance!
And coming up, a step by step doing a new head and neck on a Arabian...and a hair job to boot!
