New Solid model

At long last I have something to post.  It has been ages I know which I am sorry about.  I must get into the habit of posting a little more often.  I have been trying to sculpt a more soild model.  I have managed to come up with this Dapple grey Hunter.  He is worked to 1/9th scale, so bigger than I am use to.  He has a wire armature which has paper mache applied, then he is covered in air dry clay.  I have then painted him in acrylic paint.  He has mohair for his mane and tail.  I have called him Bombardier, Bomber for short.

I'm still here, just been making more of a solid model which is taking me sometime.  I will post very shortly with the results of this venture.

Sorry

I have been gone for awhile, which I am very sorry about.  I haven't had any models to post.  I am making one at the moment which will be a Suffolk Punch.  I have been having alittle break from them, but I can hear them calling me to make more.  I couldn't tell you why I haven't been doing them.  It's just me, I have to go off and try new thing that don't really turn out and always come back to my models.  I wish I could just stay on track with them all the time, but I really don't think that will ever happen.  I'm not going to beat myself up over it.  Well hopefully I will post pics of said Punch when finished.  Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather.  I am, very much.   

Another commission.

As I said in my last post, I have been working on a  friesian commission.  It seems to be taking me longer these days to complete each horse.  I don't think it really matters as long as I get them done.  This chap will be jetting off to Australia.  Have been playing around with some riders, but not very happy with the results so far.  I will keep going and hopefully one day will come up with a half decent doll.  Well here is the Friesian, this is the third one of these I have made so far. 

Norwegian Done

As mentioned in the last post, I was making a Norweigan Fjord.   I only just finished him last week.  I really love Norwegian Fjords.  Would really love to own one and a Haflinger.  I think they would make a lovely pair.  I am now making a commission of a Friesian.  These are a very popular breed, people just love them.  I love making them. 

 I am having a massive clear out of the house, so this taking up alot of time.  Also have got the bug for baking cakes.  I like the fact that you have a final result in a matter of a couple of hours.  Well here are the pic's of the Norwegian who I have named Harry.

   

Completed commission

Just finished this commission.  She will be heading for Canada very shortly.  I'm making a Norwegian fjord at the moment.  This isn't a commission, just a breed I like a lot. I have caught up with my commissions at the moment, which is good.  I was going to make a Suffolk Punch from a new pattern before the Fjord, but I cut the pattern wrong and didn't have enough felt left.  I am ordering some more so I can carry on.

Been baking quite a lot.  Also gardening in the rain, because every time I go to do it it rains, so I thought in the rain it must be.  You watch it will lovely tomorrow.  I think us in the UK have forgot what nice weather looks like lol.  Well less of me waffling on and down to the pic.  Here is the commission pony.

Spring mare and foal

We had a lovely spring day yesterday.  I have been making a mare and foal in the hope that it would encourage the nice weather.  Well I think it worked yesterday, but very short lived as today is back to it's normal dull self.  I have been making a commission portrait feltie aswell, which is coming along nicely  I have got the baking bug.  I am really enjoying making cakes.  Also my knitting is coming on very slowly.  I am making an aran jumper.  So as you can see I have my fingers in very many pie. I can never just do one thing at a time.  Well here are the pics of the mare and foal.  The mare is called Grace and the foal is Rosie.
