All the things

 Besides riding a grumpy horse, today was filled with little treats and a halter. I finally got my clay out and made a bunch of little things. 


Some tiny carrots and apples 

Baby carrots


And some grain. It took a while to make but when I put it in the tub I was like “ that’s it?!” I’ll need to make some more.


Snowman wants that carrot…

And Misty thinks no one is looking.

The grain works great for photos!


Oh my goodness! He’s a real Snowman!!!

A salt lick. Well, it will be one.

A curry comb

It fits in a dolls hand

It’s not the best, but I was trying to do the bottom without the whole thing falling apart so I’d say it’s a success 

A sweat scraper 


         And a bottle of… something 


And NOT POTATOES!!!! My whole family thinks that they’re potatoes! But nope! You would not want to eat these! It manure! Well, it will be once I paint it.


And a half completed hoof pick


     And I also made some books over again that I had first made about a year ago. The covers are printables from Nichelle Jones at Desktop Stables: https://desktopstables.com
I had previously made them of cardboard. But I thought  “I can do better than that”

So after quite a bit of work

They have pages!!!

I’m very happy with how they turned out!


And I finally finished Troopers halter!!!

He was my only Traditional horse without a halter

He is so cute!

Now the set is complete!

Practice Makes Perfect

A few weeks back, I got some new leather lace. So I decided that it was time to make some halters. My first victim was Snowman. His mold is the perfect one to try things on, in my opinion. (And he needed a new halter anyway) Here’s how it came out: As usual, I made all the hardware myself. I can’t really afford to get a bunch from Rio Rondo.    But this was my first attempt at a rolled throat latch. I am very pleased with how it came out. :) I think Snowman is pleased too! After I completed the first halter, I was just dying to make another. This time I made one for my  favorite Breyer , Adamek. I used all the same techniques, but this time I tried adding little stitch marks to all the leather. I was really happy with that one too, but I still felt that I could do better. So I got one of my other horses.(My only horse that I  cannot name! Seriously, literally nothing I think of suits him. )  And started making one for him. I added stitch markings to this one too, and I think they turne

NaMoPaiMo

 Well, I meant to get this posted a week ago, but better late than never! For those of you who don’t know, NaMoPaiMo stands for National Model Painting Month. It was founded by Jennifer Buxton in 2017. You have one month (February) to paint and complete a model horse. You can find more information on  this  page   of  Jennifer Buxton’s blog . Anyway, long story short, I signed up for this year(my first year!)  So introducing my NaMoPaiMo model… I’ve started painting her twice and stripped her twice. This time I’m determined to get it right! I mean third times a charm right? If all goes according to plan, she will be a dappled grey with a stripe and possibly a few socks by February 29! I also have a few side projects… This little girl will be a chestnut like her mom,  April Showers . I also want to get this guy painted as some kind of bay… I’m not sure if I’ll be doing a red bay, dark bay, etc.   I sanded down his head a little bit to make him more Arabian-typey And my last side project

This and That

Image
 I haven’t made a bunch of stuff lately, but I’ll show you what I did make :) First… A blanket for Dream Catcher.  I am very happy with this one! It’s my favorite blanket so far! (Then again, I say that with every single one I make 😂. I guess that means I’m getting better 😅) Then of course I had to make a rope halter to match and take a few pictures… (I made a matching lead rope too, but forgot to take a picture of it) Then I got my leather out and made some boots! I didn’t have mini magnets for the straps, so I improvised! (But mini magnets are being shipped as I write😉) I found some metal thingies that look like long skinny nails… and put the head through the leather. I’ll be making more as soon as the magnets come. This way is  waaayyyy to time consuming! And on other news… Breyerfest tickets are FINALLY on sale! I haven’t gotten mine yet but I will soon. And Breyer is doing a giveaway for leap year!
