Talking Heads

No one is happier that I am now spending tons of hours in the studio than Pixel. I keep the door shut when I am not in there so she can't sit on her throne. Is the pink bobble jem collar too much?

So on to the breyerfest remakes. This first head swap isn't going to be at breyerfest this year, but better show up next year.....any guesses who this rockin english performance arab will belong to?

This next one will be a breyerfest sales horse. I love showing my youth dolls, and wanted a cute little part bred gelding youth horse that could do it all. Here is a classic extended canter pose you see in the show ring version of arabian costume...

And here is the model version! Poor flash lost his head, and it would have been way too easy to put the palomino head back on the palomino body...no worries, that arab body won't go to waste either. Can you say braided up sport pony????
This is a great example of how you can get a drastic looking remake without a lot of work. The heads are removed then two soft armature wires are inserted into apoxy stuffed in the head. Once that dries, you can stick the head into the neck or the foil filled body of choice. Don't waste tails, switching tails is another great way to get a whole new look without having to sculpt the tail from scratch.

With all the chaos of the house remodel and model chaos itself, I totally forgot about getting this medallion painted. A thousand apologies for this Heather! Here is the real kitty Jade

And her almost finished portrait. Before you know it, Meows and Minis will be back this fall! I love to donate to shows with such wonderful causes behind them, and to make up for my tardiness on this, her portrait will come with a pretty stand to display it on. Thanks again Heather for your wonderful donation to the show!
