Belated B-day gift

To myself. A few weeks late, but finally done never the less! I love the way she came out and she is my current favorite "Dream Horse" Her name is "My Jaded Alibi" and she is a fresian sport horse filly. I just fell in love with the real filly I used as her reference the first time I saw her and knew that the PS yearling body that I had sitting down in the studio would be perfect for her. She now has a newly sculpted braided mane and tail, filled profile and moderate feathering on her legs. She then got a nice soft minimally roaned black coat topped off with her semi-leopard mapping, spots and haloing. Oooh I'm so in LOVE!

Still waiting for the snow to melt

Spring can't come soon enough. I am so sick of all this snow, it is no longer pretty and white but more a gray tinged mud brown slop. We have lost at least one bush in the backyard that snapped under the weight of the snow, and I am dreading the possibility of flooding in the basement as the snow melts. As it is, it is so cold down there that I haven't been able to work much, primarily because the florescents flicker too much for me to stand for very long.

I was able to get in some photo time and finally got some good pics of my PS yearling

"Lucky Penny" that I got from the January e-mail offer. Otherwise I've kept myself busy mostly sewing purses and have made a couple of really cute ones. My current favorite is one I made out of a pair of jeans that I loved but had worn to the point they were falling apart.

Hopefully back to the horses soon!

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!

It's snowing yet again! Just what we needed. We had 29 or so inches over the weekend and now have at least a additional 8-10 and it's not supposed to stop till around dinner time tomorrow.
I can't wait for spring :)

A very long winter!

Welcome to the blizzard of 2010! Yay more snow(yes that is sarcasm.) I can't wait for winter to end, as this has been a long cold less than pleasant one so far. Aside from the cold and snow I spent a night in the hospital the week before last thanks to my first kidney stone, FUN! Needless to say that kept me out of the studio for over a week, then it got so cold that it has been unpleasantly cold down there and there is no end in sight as they(the powers that be at the weather service) are calling for even more snow on Wednesday :( If it ever warms up again I would love to get back to work.

Yesterday was a good day :)

A very good one in fact. I made two sales! Which is great, but surprising seeing as I haven't been able to move anything in six months plus. Now to see if my order that I made with one of those sale to Stone goes through :)

Deal of the day

Was in Ollie's today and found a Breyer Flash, which I had been wanting for a custom idea I've been playing with, and not only was he the only Flash left, but all toys were 50% off! Now only if I didn't have a killer headache I could be working on him. oh well there is always tomorrow :P

Holidays, Teasers & Resolutions

First off Happy Holidays!
Not much to say in a long time, it was a wet, dreary, unproductive summer that kept me out of the studio preventing me from doing much of anything :( Hopefully the new year will be a more productive one. On a different front, in the last month or so I have been quilting more than anything. I got a new(used, but new to me :P ) sewing machine and am currently working on a queen/king bedspread and will post pics when I get the top finished.
Teaser part two! In 2010 I will be releasing a large little bit scale draft mare resin. Venus will be $130 prepped and postage paid in the US. I'll post pics of her as soon as I finish the presentation paint on the original, if anyone is interested in reserving a copy, the down payment is $25 and I'm estimating a run of around 50.
Now for the resolution. I resolve to try to be a better blogger in the new year!
Everyone be safe,
Later
