New batch

Sorry I have been away for a while.  Still been busy sewing, just not a lover of taking photos of them all.  I have been experimenting with some hardeners to make my models solid.  I have finally found a medium that is working really well.  All my models will be made using it from now on.  Not all of this batch have been made using the new medium.  I have tried some other ways first.  Hope this make sense.  I have also made another rider doll.
Here they are, hope you like them.
 This is Teddy the Shetland pony.  He is the last soft model I made.
 This is flame.  She is semi hard, not made from the new medium.

This Paige the shire, she is made the same way as Flame.
This is Brooke.  She is made from the new medium which make her very solid.
This is Ava the show cob, made from the new hardener.

Below is the rider I made.

Authentification tags

Forgot to mention that I decided to add authentification tags to my model, think it adds a lovely touch.  Here is what they look like

Big batch

These are the models I have been making through the stressful move.  Finally got round to taking photos of them all.  These little guys are a real stress buster.  Have been playing with some new scenery, which I think worked quite well.  Not even started to think about Christmas yet.  Must get my finger out.  I looking to get a stable set up next year.  Well here are the new nags.
First up is Harley the Welsh pony.

Bentley the Clydesdale

Baxter the Friesian

The move.

Well our move went well, but mega stressful.  Just had a couple of weeks off to settle in.  Will be taking photos of the next five horses I have made. Thank you to everyone who continues to visit my blog.

Moving

Sorry I haven't been on here much.  We are in the throws of moving house.  I have still been making models, I have 6 horses ready but no time to take photos of them yet.  I was going to wait until we are settled into our new home. Please stick with me.

Slow progress

Still here in case you are wondering.  Having to pace myself now due to health issues, but still managing to get sewing done, though very slowly.  Finding my sewing very therapeutic.  Here are my las test creations.  First up is Paisley, running off to be with his pals.  He is up for sale in my etsy shop.
Next is another rider doll, she is sold.
Hope you like them.  Have another two horses in the pipeline, so stay tuned.  I will try to post more often.  I will always be around at some point.

Bodhran the Appaloosa

Slowly still sewing away.  I am slow, but getting there.  I put more details into my models, so they take me longer these days.  They really help me unwind.  Still trying to make riders, I'm getting there, just need to practice more.  Just got to work out to make a good riding helmet.
Here is the lovely Appaloosa, Bodhran, have fallen in love with him. I love all my models, just some turn out better than others.

Thought I would show you my rider in progress, I haven't quite finished one of her boots, she has no hat yet.
