 August 11th I posted a picture hinting at a tack set I have worked on for two years & was finally close to completing. Last week I finished up the last few little things left on the tack & the custom Hawk resin it was made for. It is a caparison set, the riderless horse used in military funerals of U.S. Army or Marine Corps officers who were a colonel or higher.
 Regardless of rank or branch, I would like to dedicate this set to the 13 men & women who died in the attack in Kabul on Thursday.

 Maxton Soviak, 22, Navy.
 Kareem M. Nikoui, 20, Marines.
 David L. Espinoza, 20, Marines.
 Rylee McCollum, 20, Marines.
 Jared M. Schmitz, 20, Marines.
 Hunter Lopez, 22, Marine.
 Daegan Page, 23, Marines.
 Ryan Knauss, 23, Army.
 Darin T. Hoover Jr., 31, Marines.
 Johanny Rosario Pichardo, 25, Marines.
 Humberto A. Sanchez, 22, Marines.
 Nicole L. Gee, 23, Marines.
 Dylan R. Merola, 20, Marines.

 My heart breaks for & my prayers go out to those they left behind. They should never have been killed. God bless & keep all our Military, our Veterans, & their families.

The Reason For The Silence

4/12/2018

  Hey all!
 SO! The silence...
 & all the things left hanging here...
 Two words: Computer trouble.
 My poor old 5yo laptop is on it's last legs. I am on it now, though it's not happy about it, but I had not been able to use it for several weeks. In those weeks, I have been learning lots about computers as I search for what I wanted to replace the old thing with. I have a new one on order (it can not get here fast enough), & am happy to at least have this one creaking along until then.
 Once the new one is in, set up, & we're getting along, I fully intend to finish up my NaMoPaiMo posts & videos! My poor friends stories have been left hanging! I will say that we all did finish! :) I was also surprised to get a NaMoPaiMo Van Gogh in the mail! I had a lot of fun painting him! Thank you Jennifer & Kylee!

 Also, Finn, my medallion mold, cast like a dream! I ran the mold out at 31 total. I have 11 blanks for sale at $20 each, as well as various cast colored ones (one each purple, blue, green, rose, & glittery bronze, all cleaned up & glossed) for $30 each. They will be properly posted for sale once the new laptop is in, but if anyone is interested, they are up for grabs, just drop me an email! I will happily paint them as well for an added price.
 I still have the report from the New Year's Bash to post as well.

My 100% CMs Gala & Salazar taking the O/A CM ribbons!
 And just for fun, three of my MMs are in Maggie Bennett's MM Madness contest. I really don't expect to win anything, but it's fun to see them in the herd on her FB. :) Kim's 'Apollo', named KP Guy Noir, did win a category though! He took best preservation of details!
 But anyway. That's the reason for the silence!
