Repair Day

After sitting on my shelf for more almost a year, my wee CM Running Foal by M Durdan finally got his ear back. Still in my PJ's a sat down with some baking soda, super glue and, of course, the horse.

Layer by layer his ear slowly formed, I then filed it down and sanded it to the right shape.


And painted it. And then I got a bit carried away and decided to go over his white again too.


After seeing him for so long without his ear, he looks a bit odd now that he has one!


Not bad for an older CM.

Tiny Troublemaker

You wouldn't believe the trouble this little guy has caused me!

His prepping went fine, then the first lot of primer went well, then I
started pastelling him palomino, well, right from the start he refused
to be pally, I started about 3 times on him before chucking him on the
shelf above the computer.
I finally dragged him out again the other day determined he WAS going
to be a palomino, yet again, he refused, he ended up a lovely shade,
with dark splotches all over him. I was rather annoyed so I got out my
pastels and shaved off some brown and thought 'Right then, you can
bloomin well be bay then'...He seemed to like that idea much better!
I even managed to get a few funny looking dapples on him!!

Nothing Exciting

Nothing great to report from me. Not that there ever really is! But I
felt the need to post something, mainly because I once again realised I
don't post nearly enough! And since the post I had in mind still isn't
finished (you'll see in a couple of days) and I still felt the need, here is some pics I took last winter.

And before you ask, yes I did manage to rescue the *little little* horse from becoming lunch!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!!! Hope your all having a good chocolate filled
time! I have been good and am saving mine. That doesn't mean Easter has
been completely out for me, I made this the other night.
An
easter theme bridle, because when I think of easter I think fluffy
white easter bunnies delivering chocolate eggs, and from fluffy white
bunnies I think pink!

And doesn't CB look amazing in pink! The above photo's show the colours
best. And my apologies for my bad rider, she might need some riding
lessons!
I'm thinking it will be for sale, so if you want it, please email me
(bluemoonstables2008@gmail.com) with an offer, it's fully adjustable
with *handmade* tongue buckles. You can change the bit as well, I made
it like it is purposely so it has that option.

Another good thing that happened to me is this, I got it today when my Nan came out.


She's been working on it for about the last year or so and brought it
over with her from Australia. She also made the two cushions.

I love it!! The colours are lovely.

Not the most talkative or interesting of posts, sorry, I'm not really one for talking or making conversation!

Leukemia and Blood Foundation - Overall Champ.

A HUGE congrats to everyone, and thanks so so much for entering the
show. Remember, every horse that placed 1st or 2nd in any class is now
qualified for the championship show to be held in November/December
which I'm hoping will have some pretty cool prizes. I still need to
work out some of the details on it, but I'm hoping it will be great!
But now to wrap up this show, the Grand Champion of the Show!!
Drum roll please.
Nightfox!!
And Reserve Grand Champion of the Show:

dp. Last Chance, Honey!!

Well done to the both of you, but Nightfox (owned by L.K) gets a post all to himself, which will be coming soon!

Thanks (yep, once again!) to everyone who entered, it was a great show to judge!!

Leukemia and Blood Foundation - CM/AR Results

NOTES:

What
a competitive section!!! The horses were all stunning and it was very
very hard to pick the champ/reserves, I had to be quite harsh on the
horses’ conformation, especially in the breed one, and in the colour
championship on the paintjobs! Well done to everyone!!
