Plastic Pony Photos

After homework I took some models outside to take pictures because the light was just right and I had nothing better to do. I'm starting to put the pictures up in a larger format so you can see them more easily without having to click.

The first horse is the WEG Driving Stablemate. He's new and I think--and hope--he may be LSQ. Still it's unlikely he will ever show.
His name is Benjamin or Ben for short. Sara and Zoe, who may or may not read this post, know of my LOST obsession so this makes sense. Possibly.

Benjamin

Next up is GG Valentine. I wanted her for a while and my dad eventually bought her for me. (Thanks again!) I call her Victoria because of the real GG Valentine's great success.

And her son, Heartbreaker. He obviously came with Valentine.  His name with me is Abu, or "Nobility." Because the real foal Heartbreaker comes from Hunter breeding nobility. He's shown here with his momma.

My last Original Finish model for today, Headley Britannia. She was already in this post but the photos weren't great and I've been wanting to get new ones. This mare is known to me as Iphigenia, just because I like the story about the daughter of Agamemnon. It's sad, but it's one of my favorites.

The last horse we have for today is the one I customized for the Stablemate Swap on Blab. He's my first finished one and with him I learned many lessons (mostly about protecting the horse from snowflakes under sealer). Nothing special in the least. I think his coloring is about two times less rich and two times more grainy in person, but you get the general idea. I'm only posting him because I highly doubt that the person he's for reads this blog.

That's all for today. Enjoy the photos!

Well.

There have been a good number of raffle entries today and yesterday! Thank you to everyone who joined, is still joining, and especially to those people who have condescended to follow the blog. It is very much appreciated.

I realized that I forgot to say in the original raffle post when it will end. So, the raffle will end on the 17th of January. Then the winners and I can figure out who wants which colors, et cetera.

Last night after homework was done and mirror-cleaning for $.25/mirror was finished, I AGAIN did something I should never, ever do. MH$P is going to be the road to my doom, I just know it. But, though I did find a gorgeous CM on the ASB Clock Horse, I managed to restrain myself from bidding. It's a good thing because the $70 I would have spent on him can now go to some tack making supplies. Better that than a nice CM who I would likely never show, I suppose.

Today's post is short on both words and time, I'm afraid. But I will post a few pictures for your enjoyment.

The first and last were taken in Jackson, and the middle one was taken last weekend on the lake. Doesn't it just look like lace?

Oh! Speaking of lace... I got an X-Acto knife (be afraid! Just kidding, don't worry.) and practiced skiving some of the crappy craft-store lace I have right now. It's bad lace but I've discovered that when you're not doing it all the time skiving can be sorta fun. I'll probably change my tune when I start this in earnest, but that's just my take so far.
