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

Mom was working on crocheting a historical shawl pattern, & Nickel's Hubby Kyle was quietly reading in the corner. (No, we didn't make him sit way over there!) #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!!!

Between other things needing done, & a distinct lack of ambition after accomplishing those things, NaMo Elton was neglected today... But look at this tiny saddle I saw at a harness shop on Friday! It honestly was a real, working saddle! & yes, yes, it was already pointed out to me that it's too big for resins & too small for my living Minis! But it was still cute! X)

NaMoPaiMo selfie!
I can't believe NaMo is TOMORROW. In less than 24 hours, Mr. Elton here will be en rout to a bay semi-leopard appy! @namopaimo Does this qualify for NaMo's Slefie Sunday? #NaMoPaiMo #NaMoPaiMo2021 #modelhorse #modelhorses #horsemodel #artistresin #AR #artistresinmodelhorse #resinhorse #traditionalmodelhorse #modelhorsesofinstagram #resinhorsesofinstagram

I *still* have not officially signed up for NaMo (haven't taken the selfie yet to do it!), but I do know who I'm doing! 😈 &, after Juggy last year, I know darn well that you should prep BEFORE you sign up to make sure the resin doesn't have other ideas!! All's good with Elton number three, so we're good on that at least! @namopaimo #namopaimo #namopaimo2021 #modelhorse #modelhorses #horsemodel #artistresin #AR #artistresinmodelhorse #resinhorse #traditionalmodelhorse #modelhorsesofinstagram #resinhorsesofinstagram P.S. Both the pally pinto & the dapple grey Elton are future sales pieces!

So, my hobby new year's resolution was to paint more medallions to sell ...& the first one I buy is for myself! 🤦‍♀️ This beauty landed today! Sleipnir sculpted by @mibiam_ ! I've wanted this guy since she was working on him, & I finally broke down & got one! He's just as awesome in person as in her pictures! I have the perfect color scheme planned for him too! #medallion #artistresin #resinmedallion #modelhorsemedallion #modelhorsemedallions #AR #modelhorse #resinmodelhorse #modelhorse #modelhorses #horsemodel #artistresin #AR #artistresinmodelhorse #resinhorse #resinhorsesofinstagram #sleipnir #sleipnirmedallion

A handful of little buckskins in in four different flavors. I just had to take this pic before Batson heads to his new home!
WIP Micronaut by Rayvin Maddock is a future sales piece but has dibs called, finished Batson by Sue Kern is sold, WIP Pollywog by Kylee Parks is a future sales piece & will go for offers (no dibs), WIP Alma by Maggie Bennett is also a future sales piece & will be openly for sale (dibs accepted, lol).

An appreciation post for just how pretty Sue's 'sea glass-esque' prints can be. I was washing off prints, & with the water & the light from the window, their thin parts turned the most brilliant violet! It was only *just* picked up be my camera, but it was so much more vivid in person!
Blue Miss Prince is a personal piece, clear Miss Prince has dibs called, LaVar will be a future sales piece.
