Lazy me

I have been really lazy and haven't made many models.  I have managed to start a feltie that is my smallest yet.  He will be stable mate size, around 2 1/2 inches.  I will post pics when I have finished.  I do have a problem focusing.  I have been like this since I can remember.  I want to make loads of horses but get side tracked. 

Finally

It has taken me awhile to get back to normal after Christmas.  I have made these two last week, more to follow.

First up is Harry the dapple Arab gelding.

Bit fuzzy this photo sorry, the camera was being a little naughty.  This little Arab is a very nervous chap, but very loving.  He is good around the stable, but he does not like new people.  He does not load well or travel well.  His nervous nature makes showing impossible.  He does not like to hack alone, but is fine in company.  He likes to be in his stable when the weather is bad. 

Next feltie is Murtle the Gypsy Vanner.

Murtle is a very strong pony, but a good all rounder.  She is good to do in all areas, just need a strong rider to keep her in check.  She has been in the rosettes and has breed a lovely foal last year.

slow start

OMG!  It is taking me so long to get back into the swing of things.  I have managed to needle felt a horse over the Christmas holidays, but man I am struggling to get going.  I'm will kick myself into gear this week to get some mini's done.  I think this is scale I will stick with for the time being, I really enjoy making them.  Will hopefully  have some felties to post this week.

Christmas over.

Sorry I have been away for sometime.  Christmas was very busy, but hoping to get on track now.  I know I said in my last post that I was going to make a large faux suede model but that didn't quite happen.  I have been needle felting, and have nearly finished my next feltie.  I am really addicted to the 1/24th scale.  I think it is the sweetness of them.

The snow has finally gone after about two weeks.  Christmas was ok but I never really got in the Christmas spirit.  I found it more stressful this year for some reason.  So glad today to be back to normal.  Hope everyone had a really nice time.  

Will be posting pics of my latest feltie in the next couple of day.  He will be up for sale in my etsy shop also. 

Busy week

Christmas has put my model making on hold this week.  I am going to cut a pattern tonignt for a larger faux suede heavy horse which has been requested by one of my collectors.  Haven't made a suedei for sometime but really looking forward to it.

Snow is due to return this weekend, which is really miserable.  I think I will post pics if it's really bad.  Nearly finished my Christmas shopping and kids have finished school for the holidays.  We are meant to be family visiting this weekend but will have to see what the weather has in store for us.  Hope to have pics of new suedei soon.

I would like to wish you all merry Christmas and a rocking new year if I don't post before then.

Womble and Drummer

I have been a little lazy again this week and only have two horse made.  I have all good intentions to make four but I think this is too much.  Well here they are.  The first is Womble the Clydesdale gelding.  I have made him to 1/24th scale, he is measuring 4 1/2 inches.

Womble is a lovely horse, a real gentle giant.  He is lovely to handle dispite his size.  He is a beautiful show Cob and we feel he will be in the rosettes if shown.  Everyone on the yard love him.

Second is Drummer the Welsh Cob gelding. Worked to 1/24th scale he measures 3 1/2 inches with beautiful flaxen mane and tail.

Drummer is a beautiful Welsh cob gelding who is also a lovely novice ride.  He is very gentle with his rider.  He is really good in the school, and is popping small jumps with no trouble.  He has excellent stable manner.  He is good to hack in company and alone, he is that one in a million horse very hard to find.

Gypsy Vanner

Here is my latest feltie Pearl.  She is a 1/24th scale Gypsy Vanner mare.  I have also managed to put together a snow background.  We have signs of snow here tonight.  We have managed to stay snow free upto now, but snow has been at the Tawney yard for a couple of days.

Pearl is a lovely natured cob, a really nice novice ride.  She will pull when being turnout to grass but other than that she is good.  She will hack out alone and in company.  She will go first and last.  She hates to be in the school, but if you are looking for a show cob she's your horse.  She prefers to live out, is good with children and other animals and stable chums.
