Catching Up

 Long time no see! I’ve been meaning to post lately, but well… life. Anyway, Breyer has revealed a ton of new horses! First is Rhiannon and Rhemi, the last Premier Club release for this year.


They are so pretty!!! I can’t wait till they come out as regular runs!



But we have the final Stablelmates club release for this year, on a new sculpt, Brio. I really like this little guy. But again, one that I’ll be happy to wait for until he becomes a regular run.

And while we are on the topic of Stablemates, one of next year’s Stablelmates club releases has been revealed. I really like this sculpt!!!


And now I saved my favorites for last… One of next year‘s premiere club releases, Tigerlilly and Firestorm!!!!!!! They are supposed to be Firehearts mate and foal. I just love everything about them; the sculpts, the colors, everything. I really want to get them but I’m assuming they’ll go for a ridiculous amount of money. So I’ll probably have to wait till they become regular runs.🥺

Just look, how gorgeous!!!
And her dapples😍

And Breyer gave us a Breyerfest sneak peek!!!!!! The celebration horse will be revealed sometime next week(apparently there are over 12 horses competing for the spot!) Here is what is on the Breyerfest Blog:

BreyerFest is many things to many people. Here at HQ, BreyerFest is a celebration of the real horses that inspire the models we make and connecting fans with those horses, both real and plastic. And next year’s celebration has been particularly inspirational, especially for the Events Team.

 

 

The idea for next year’s theme had been bubbling away on the back burner for some time, just waiting for its moment to shine – and shine it has. With more than a dozen contenders vying to be the coveted Celebration Horse model and Limited Edition portrait horses, next year’s lineup of guest horses was carefully narrowed down and is so inspirational we joked about having to sell tissues as a part of the event swag! 

It’s no secret to any of our readers and fans that horses are truly special creatures, capable of being silly, having strong (often stubborn) opinions, and surviving even the harshest of conditions. From tragic tales of abandonment, abuse, or neglect to awe-inspiring stories of overcoming adversity, defying expectations, and smashing the status quo, next year’s event hopes to highlight the stories of just a few of the many incredible horses that have survived and succeeded – Against All Odds.

Inspired by our Against All Odds Celebration Horse (who you’ll get to meet right here on the BreyerFest Blog next week), we’ve been cranking up the girl power tunes here at HQ to get ourselves in the right frame of mind to bring next year’s BreyerFest to life for fans – and we promise it’s going to be a party!


Anyway, I know most of you guys have already heard of all these releases, but I wanted to share them with you anyway. See you soon!(I promise this time.😅)

Practice Makes Perfect

Image
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!
