Justadream Unicorn Project

Thought I'd share some pictures with you of my latest project! This is a Just a Dream that is being slowly made into a unicorn stallion.

Today I carved out the hooves and split them, altered the ears so they were finer and spikier, altered the face so that it is more Roman than dished and added the horn. O and I added the dock for hairing as well.

Here she is as she stands at the moment



Slightly less horsey hooves!



You can sorta see the carving out here:



A better idea of how the horn will end up!



Drying with a John Henry body holding the horn up!

Brown Leather Headcollar

This was a commission piece, it's done on my basic 'leather headcollar' template in brown leather with gold hardware. Made to fit Traditional scale light horses

Updated Products

Just a quick post to let you all know that I have updated several of the product images on the website.

Firstly after my recent spate of tack making I have updated all of the tack items with new images to show the different options. You'll find a lot more images to help you make the perfect choice for you.

Secondly I have fully updated all of the custom order items with images of recent customs. Each custom order option shows the last 5 customs painted in that size so along with my custom gallery you should be able to make a good decision about what size and colour to go for!

New Schleich Models

Good morning all! I hope you are all up bright and early, well to help you through the day here are some of the new Schleich 2013 range :D

All very nice models, my only concern is their eyes, they look very strange, seriously hoping that that is just the photography!

First up is the Hanovarian mare. Definitely not sure about the legs on this one...



Second we have a Hanovarian foal who seems to have inherited her mothers strange legs



Next we have the Appaloosa stallion



And the Appaloosa mare who I think is one of the prettiest but again legs are a bit off



And an appaloosa foal...again legs...



Now we have a rather dynamic Shire stallion!



And a Shire mare who is well...umm....not very Shirey



And Shire foal who has a furry belly which is quite cute



Now a very white Lippizzaner mare:



And a Lippizzaner foal with what appears to be a plaited mane, very strange indeed



And a rather grumpy Fell stallion



A Fell mare who again has bad legs



And a rather fuzzy looking Fell foal



A Haflinger mare who has, you guessed it, awful legs...again



A new Showjumping set (at least the riders have good legs)



And another riding set



Annoyingly Schleich are STILL not putting bits on their bridles...

As you may have guessed I am not particularly impressed with this years selection. They are not great confomrationally and the paint jobs seem to have also gone down hill again. That said you can never tell until you actually see the model in person so we will have to wait and see.

Breyerfest Horses

Today's post is a little share about some of the Breyerfest models that have been announced for this years Denim and Diamonds.

First up is Blue Bird who is one of the raffle models. This is a star dapple grey on the Tortillas mold. The model could be gorgeous but I think you will agree those dapples are a little odd!



Right number two is one of the Boots and Bling models. This gorgeous bucking bronco is definitely different. I'm not quite sure about the base colour on this one but the decoration is gorgeous. I do love decorators!



Next up is one of the exclusive models. This is two step a beautiful dun on the Destado mold. I love this colour on this mold it's absolutely gorgeous. I think this is one of the nicest of the bunch



And finally for now my favourite. I LOVE the Haflinger mold, it's just so gorgeous and pony like and this little cutey is no exception to the cuteness. He is just gorgeous in every way, I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but I adore him. So meet Buckaroo.
