PoisonIvy, FabulousFakes & Foals


Well my four year old niece came home from her fathers house on Sunday with....wait for it.....Poison Ivy! Yep! It's been a fun couple of days, including a trip this morning to the doctors because it just keeps spreading, her legs, from her ankles to her butt are now pretty well covered in weeping ivy breakouts. Have you ever tried to keep a four year old from scratching herself crazy? It has run me and Mom ragged! And the munchkin has NOT been in a good mood.

Got some work done on my "Fabulous Fake", her marking are getting closer to where I want them to be, need to hit them with a light coat of sealer, then some more layers of paint and hopefully that will do the trick, then onto details and the scary part, glossing. Also fixed a small problem on the PMU foal sculpt, tentatively named "Han Vol Dan",it's from Christine Feehan's Leopard books and means "Time of the Change" which I think is appropriate with what has been going on in the PMU industry. It seems that when I put him in the oven to bake I must have put my finger in the middle of his face and shifted it slightly, so that's now been fixed and he also sports a coat of presentation paint. If I can get myself motivated I would like to get to work on his mold and maybe start him casting by the end of the summer. Here's hoping.
