Played with shiny things things today. Shiny things that never show up as brilliantly in pics as they are in person!
Takeshi medallion (the big one) WIP, future sales piece.

These ladies landed on Monday, micro (closer to bantam I think) Covergirls by Jen Scott. I swear, her work looks incredible no matter the scale! I have colors picked out for them already! Future sales pieces.

Also got news that this gal won 3rd out of 30 in the cm mini Belgian/Percheron class for Breyer Boot Camp! I'm apparently having a good show! 😆

It's always nice to hear how my creations are doing out in the big wide world! I was just informed that this guy I did a few months ago has won 1st out of 96 entries in class CM535 - MINI, Patterned Stock Breeds, at BreyerWest Boot Camp photo show! I'm glad he's making his mama proud!!

Today I went on the first of a two-part expedition to hunt for ANYTHING Cara Dune (alas, I am doubtful I will ever own the Black Series figure I have been waiting for. 😭) I went to a new (to me) shop that was floor to ceiling, wall to wall, in front of, behind, hanging from the ceiling, toys, figures, & comic books, both old & new! It was AWESOME! I found ONE Cara Dune Funko Pop, which will probably be the only pop I ever own (not really my thing), but I am excited to find it! To put it lightly, I am extremely disappointed in Lucasfilm's firing Gina Carano! They have lost a fan here bigtime over that! Cara Dune FOREVER!!! Gina Carano FOREVER!!! Fight on @ginajcarano !! You are awesome!! #canceldisneyplus #cancelcancelculture #istandwithginacarano #istandwithgina #hireginacarano #hiregina #justiceforgina #ginacaranoismyhero #ginacaranoisthebest #weloveginacarano #welovecaradune #caradune #carasynthiadune #marshaldune #marshalcaradune #themandalorian #ginacarano #ginajoycarano #caraduneisabadass #caraduneisawesome #ilovecaradune #ginacaranoisuncancelled

Angel was still working on CMing her odd little guy here, some sort of pewter she picked up somewhere! Good lord by the end of the day I forget what she said he was! He started as a "squataloosa", she has no idea what breed he is! 🤣 #namopaimo #namopaimo2021 #namopaimoparty

Laura was not able to commit to NaMo this year, but was still arting with us last Sat! She was drawing with a certain type of ink pencils that I had never heard of before! Even though her paper wasn't cooperating, I think it's beautiful! @lauramccartney #namopaimo #namopaimo2021 #namopaimoparty

Alayna painted her first Breyer at the party!! I am so excited! I've tried talking her into it for years, & this was actually *HER* idea! 😁 By the end she was getting into blending the acrylics & mixing colors! @lainiescraft #namopaimo #namopaimo2021 #namopaimoparty

Look who came to visit today! Last fall Dad nailed venison suet to this tall tree stump outside the house, & it has been a hit with all manner of wood peckers, blue jays, crows, & now this red tail (& later on today a black vulture who was far less welcome). I got TONS of pics of this pretty enjoying his meal, & somehow managed to be lucky enough to catch this shot as he flew off! #redtailedhawk

Angel, who is a sweetie, brought this silly little paint kit 'happy Valentine's day' unicorn to draw names for, just for fun! She had everyone write their names on a piece of paper, put it in a bowl, & asked Mom to draw the name. I asked if my name was drawn, if it'll be accused of being rigged ...Guess who's name was drawn? 😝 I plan to do the most ridiculous LSQ finishwork on this goofy thing! #namopaimo #namopaimo2021 #namopaimoparty

Aaaaand my projects last Sat! I got sick of drawing circles on my NaMo Elton, so halfway through the day I switched over to finishing mapping on sales Elton no 1.
I think I've gotten all the NaMo pics I intend to post now! It was such a great day of just de-stressing with good friends! #namopaimo #namopaimo2021 #namopaimoparty

More pictures from the NaMo party last Sat! It seemed to have been overtaken by ponies! (With Alayna's ASB photo bombing the pic!). This pic's color was off a bit, I tried my best to correct it! @nickel_and_rascal @edutter0912 @lainiescraft #namopaimo #namopaimo2021 #namopaimoparty

Before I lose the last few minutes of it, Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovely folks! I hope you had a nice day!!
Picture features my WIP Spark AR by Maggie Bennett. I won her from the Circle C Artist Challenge last year, & she arrived on Valentine's Day; So she's gotten a bit of a Valentine theme! (How could I resist??). At the moment she is not a sales piece.

One of the models I've been picking on in the last week, & she refuses to let me get a decent picture of her!! This is the Spark I won from the Circle C Artist Challenge last year; I had planned to sell her since I already own a Spark, but I've grown attached to her, so I think she'll stay & the first Spark will hit the road when she's done. I don't need two! X) #modelhorse #modelhorses #horsemodel #artistresin #AR #artistresinmodelhorse #resinhorse #modelhorsesofinstagram #resinhorsesofinstagram

Ah, day 4 & progress at last!! Din, Grogu, & I got base coats started today! ...Not much to look at, but at least it's a start!! Elton needs a few more layers yet; I had started with a darker color but decided it was *too* dark for what I need. The HO mare & foal have a few thin spots yet too... Din & Grogu may have tiny hands, but I do not, & there are NO handles on these tiny things!!!
