Blab Spring Fling SM Swap

So I've always missed out on Blab's Swaps in the past, but this time I managed to see that it was happening on time and had been active not long before so my post count was up. I had so much fun doing it (unfortunately I do not have pics of the horses I sent, I clean forgot to take finished pics!)
But, my goodies arrived today

It was like playing lucky dip! I had to literally dig through all the packing peanuts to come out with this -

The liquorice bites are already well on the way to being gone :)
 I was equally excited about the ponies as I was the yummy sweet goods, this wee foal is just adorable, I've never had this mold before so he's totally new to me, and I must say, he is much nicer in person than in any photo's I've seen before, I may end up with a few more of these wee guys in future.


And the other two are just as lovely, all Polish ponies I believe (nail polish that is). So much sparkles and glittery goodness!


So thankyou so much Maeve!! They are awesome :) I'm already looking forward to the next swap, hopefully I won't miss it!

Strapless Complete

Almost 2 years ago I got this girl! And after floating around in the body box for so long I decided it was high time she was finally done. I thought something nice and simple was needed so that's what she got and I think it really suits her.

Excuse the wierd mark on her ribs, I must have had something on my hand!
I managed to get a very slight coppery undertone going on aswell which I am quite pleased about, I haven't really achieved that before, not what I intentionally want anyway.


She was always going to have a star, but I did have ideas about giving her a large snip aswell. I chickened out of trying this though incase it ruined her and didn't look any good.

And of course, her new plaits, I think this was about the first time I really used my Amazing Sculpt, but it was needed, I really could not stand the old original plaits she had!

Ack! Where has she accumulated all these marks?! That's most likely pastel dust on her shoulder

I also added a bit to her tail to thicken it up a little up the top, she may yet have it chopped off and a new one resculpted. I also played around with her ears after reading a post on Jennifer's blog about the ears on this mold being all funky trying to fit bridles etc. I'm not sure if I achieved what was needed or not, but I'm sure either way it's better than it was!

First Dapple Grey

So I lied when I said Tobi was the latest off my workbench, he was the wee chestnut in yesterdays post. The latest off my workbench is actually this wee grey G3 Pony completed late last month.


She hasn't turned out the best, but for my first dapple grey I am pleased enough, I think she is very cute and suits the colour too well. For now she will stay but she may be redone in future. I'm excited to do more dapple greys now, this was definitely one colour I was very intimidated by and actually scared to try. For anyone interested, the article on dappling by Jenn Danza on Breyer's page is fantastic! I highly recommend it.

Blogging Is BACK!

And oh how I have missed it!! 7 months since my last post and this is the first chance I have had to actually do a post up! Finally we have come out the stone age (well, the parents have) and got a decent internet connection so I can connect to it on my laptop and it's a decent speed now.

So for now is really just a quick update to say hi to anyone who may see this, and to share my facebook page aswell, MF Studios for my custom work (and the odd piece of tack I make).

So until next time, here is the latest horse off my workbench, a Breyer G3 Warmblood with new tail and slightly more 'araby' head, this guy is a portrait pony and was a trade commission.
