…Okay, let’s never do that again. >_<

I’m taking the final photos of a new finished little gal (a baby Shire horse!) and this cat above, which no longer looks quite as…oddly lumpy. Hope folks enjoy them. :) Since they’re cast in the US, I’m expecting them to be available for general purchasing by October or so, but preorders for both are already open in the store. Preorders always help pay for mold-making costs!

[Preorder now!]

If you haven’t bought yours yet, what are you waiting for? :9 They’re absolutely beautiful, the finish on them is highly polished and still very detailed; also, now I can ship in time for Halloween, a great time to wear your Nightmare! (Well, any time is a great time to help out horses, I say…)

I have also edited the buttons in the Store so that multiple items can be purchased with combined shipping.

1. I originally started this off on a small plastic Breyer stablemate. Annoyingly (which is why I don’t often start with the body first), the head got a little too big for the body.
2. My new, larger horse body arrives in the mail! Her tail’s broken off, but I was going to make a new one anyways, so that’s fine. I started adding a little clay to smooth out her contours.
3. Sawing away at the neck. At this point her skull wasn’t tall enough either.
4. Horse’s head chopped off, mane also sawed off and gaps filled in (more bulk added to the body too). I made a rough foil ‘torso’ and superglued it onto the shoulders before covering it in clay.
5. After coating with clay, boobs and shoulders and neck details added. Head was also attached and made a bit taller.
6. First tail. Also, bun in hair.
7. RAAAARRRGH
8. There’s the second tail, which I still wasn’t happy with (the first tail with more hair overlaid on top of it, basically). Also, um, dismemberment.
9. A shorter, narrower-shouldered torso and a new tail (#3) later! Ahhhhh. <|D

FIN

More news on this project coming soon. :)

Among them: “Nightmare.”

Since I’m interested in working with various animal rescues, I’ve decided to look into casting this tiny equine as a fundraiser for horse adoptions. We’ll see what results.
