First Customs of 2012

A new year and some new customs to start it off! These are the first customs with a 2012 label. The circus pony is finally done, horray! This little gal took a lot of hours to paint, let alone sculpt, but I love how she turned out. Here she is from a bunch of angles..

Okay, okay, I couldn't resist. My poor husband drowning in estrogen....he doesn't want to admit it but he loves his Barbie princess pillow...almost as much as Mieka's pink satin leopard print dress...giggle

Back to the pony. I know its a shock to see what color her mane accents are right? I think she really needs a circus costume, don't you all agree?

I changed the background color for the blog photos to what I was told was the only correct color for my blog. The pink sheet was rather full of cat hairs so it was gone getting a bath, I apologize for the blah beige, it really wasn't Purdy.....

The hardest think about a black horse is not using a lot of true black. She is actually highly shaded and her white areas are pinked in the right places. The mane and tail get the hair appearance by going back and forth with black and white paint with a very fine long haired "script" brush.

Now she really needs a little dog to go with her....wouldn't a little Mieka in a pink tutu be perfect?

What a show off!

The warmblood mare turned out very soft and feminine looking as I hoped. I plan to show her in performance and halter this coming weekend.

I love these resin bases, so much nicer than those little plastic disks.

I left the Hanovarian brand on the mold, I thought it fit the head profile of the Memphis Belle head. She just needs a good German name. The pony needs a name too, any suggestions?

An elegant, lady like expression

This dappled, blood bay color was done using layers of pastels over airbrushed acrylics. She is available for sale for $600ppd to the lower 48 states.

And lastly the haired Eberl after her mane and tail were properly shaped. I used a high quality mousse and fine spray to set the hair. I do'nt do a lot of hairing, but I do like the appearance of a haired model with a styled mane and tail. I think she will look great in costume!

Thanksgiving Sale!

I can't even say how happy I was to finally get those orders in the mail this past week, whoo hoo! Finally, I am working on getting some remakes done on the endless supply of bodies in my scary basement. First is a mini scarlet remade with a whole new studdy neck and checks (and privates) into a flashy Belgian show stallion! He still needs his fine details painted, but his preview price is $400ppd in the lower 48.

This one is the very limited Carlee Balding (sp?) I think morgan mare originally re sculpted with a neck neckline, roached mane, new tail, hoof pads and long toes into a 3 gaited ASB mare. Her details and base are not done yet (she is removable from base) and her tail still has to be shaded and highlighted, but her preview price is $325ppd

This is a wonderful show saddle by Eric Corbett that I never use. Comes with a leather cinch and fancy breast strap. Totally LSQ, I just never use it and its a waste sitting here. No bridle, (that piece I use all the time ;)) $160ppd.

This is another awesome set I don't use. I never sell my Shannon tack, but again, its a waste just sitting here. I got this set paired with another of hers that I do use, so I hope someone will get is and show it like it deserves. It has cool saddle bags and breast collar, and I am throwing in a cool braided bridle to go with it. It does need a cinch and reins. $150ppd

This last two may or may not be available, right now they are on hold, but let me know if you are interested in the uber cute Fjord set. Baby isn't done yet, I think she needs to be silver grulla, don't you think?

Progress!

I am sooooooo happy to get some long overdue things done! First, some good pictures of the ranch type rabicano stallion. I am very happy with how his color turned out. He is still available for $550 plus postage.


His mane and forelock are all tack friendly, I think he will be a blast to show in performance too!

Some close ups of the hair details.....

These guys have been in the works for forever it seems! The big saddlebred is going to Germany and the custom PS warmblood is going to Cristina Brown in England in exchange for the most amazing harnesses. I can't wait to get my latest piece of Tiny Tack!
