NAN auction, why the wait?

Here are a couple more pictures I forgot, and if there are any angles you want to see, I can take more of either the horse or the camel. Once the new rider is done I will post pictures of just him


I am really happy with the Dancing Horse, why is it this one has to go?

Well one of the reasons it took so long was damn Mountie the Moose. I got Mountie last weekend at the show in Spokane, WA that was invaded by the Canucks. The is absolutly no border control up north at all! First thing he did was dive into the garden....now I have been to Idaho twice and there are no such plants in that state...so don't believe the hype! In fact, the potatoes I ate there were grown in Washington! Whats next, Illinois apples??????

Then he jumped up on Sassy....oh I wish I had gotten her face in frame!

Then over into the corn field and started eating up the crop...as if we don't have enough deer doing this already!

Okay seriously, what a crazy Canuck he ate all the pig's food!

Then he tried to climb one of our maples and broke it....or what that the storm???

Moral of the story, we need a fence up North!

But really, if you ever get a chance to go to a show in the Northwest and get the pleasure of a Canadian invasion, you will never have more fun! They are a FANTASTIC bunch, duct tape and all, and the BEST FRIENDS!

AND they helped my Blackhawks get the Cup! WHOO HOO

NAN auction

Well I wanted to do more this week, but thanks to a nasty electrical storm my satellite connection wasn't working! But wanted to show off the NAN piece I am finishing up this next week. This set is called "The Journey" and is a tribute to a dear lost friend of the hobby, Lisa Salamandick. Lisa lost her battle with cancer last year, and I will go into the full story of how I got to know her later....but she so loved arabians, especially dancing horses. So the horse of the set is a drastically remade breyer lonesome glory into a fiery dancing stallion. The set comes complete with halter and breastcollar set made by Lisa herself...generously donated my uber gal pal Kathy Wiggins (who I would be lost without!)
Here is the head, its a remade PAM head and I did a mane and tail full of action to really make him dramatic


Full body shot, he is doing a correct spanish walk, think of all the fun he will be to show!

And the matching camel, this is a remake of a breyer FAM, no joke! I showed her at Breyerfest last year and she was a huge hit! Now the set comes with a resin copy, the only copy that will be sold to the public!

Here is the poor thing under rubber, casting next week! Gotta run for today, its getting ready to storm again I have to unplug everything so it doesn't get fried again, let me know what you think!
