Dixieland Grand

Hey all,
Well, my kiln broke down, so I figured I'd just post these pictures that I took a few days ago of Dixie. I ADORE this little fella (tho he's so dainty, why wasn't he a mare?). These are pictures without hoof stripes, and he's only glazed a little bit lol. IF my master plans work out, his eyes won't be so creepy, the brown should fire down to a nice dark brown. When will that be? I don't know. I'm being ever so patient waiting for my part (I ordered it two days ago from Wa...so why isn't it here yet!!) lol. But, he's first on the list of stuff to be fired, followed by some very minor touchups in overglaze on the previous 3 mini's. Then, on to the AA Shetland pony (no idea what color yet...). So, anyway, enjoy!



A final thought. Always remember how fun it is to play in the rain :)

New Pretties

I know it's been a while since I posted last, but I have lots of good reasons! Here's a few :)

Also, none of them are quite done yet. And, my new camera really doesn't do the little horses too well. All of the white markings are WHITE, not icky yellow. Enjoy!




I have this guy's name stored somewhere in my e-mails, but I found this guy at Breyerfest HIN room sales. I just love him, and picked his pattern based on a little wild pony in a picture I have. He has etched hairs in his mane, to give a mixed mane appearance. Please note- his hooves aren't finished, and the end of his tail isn't glazed. :)



This little one is one of my experiments. This is "Bressay" I think is how she's spelled. I bought her last year at the room sales, with a broken leg, and never did anything with her. I have since repaired her leg- while it's sound, it's not as smooth as I'd like it to be. She's also still in the works, I need to finish up the black and glaze her face, but isn't she cool?


Now this one...I don't want to brag, but I was so stinkin' tickled when I pulled her out of the kiln! She needs a few more things glazed, but for all intensive purposes, here she is. I just love her. I am thinking maybe sending her to NAN next year if she does well this show season.




Wouldn't he have been neat if he'd turned out!! This is a Hagen Renaker Arab Stallion. He started out white, and in my need to tinker, I glazed him bay with two hind socks. Now, a neat thing happened, tho I'm not 100% sure why. What I glazed him with had reactions every time it went in the kiln. I was thinking about giving him some kind of name with electric or lightning or something in it. Going to use him as a decorator piece, he's really pretty, just...ya know, not really realistic :) I think I'll cold paint his base, I've tried glazing it a few different times and it just hasn't worked out lol.

Hope you liked them! What's next? I have two real nice horses coming over from Animal Artistry in England, an Arab and a Shetland Pony. Who-hoo!
