She's Here!

 Yep, today was indeed a good day!
 The long awaited Evelynn did land in my post box today!

Picture
 Of course in the time waiting I told all my model horse friends about my captured grail! I was challenged by my friend 'Eclectic Equines' to do an unboxing video. I did take on that challenge, but, having never set up to shoot an unboxing video, I didn't set the camera up high enough for the 'action' to be in frame. You can see a nice shot of the box she came in though!
  I What can I say? I am a model horse artist, not a cameraman... Hope that it suits you though Eclectic! ;) As I promised in the vid, here are photos of Evelynn.
Picture
 I have seen Evelynns before at live shows, but I have never been able to turn one over & scrutinize her before.  Oooo she's pretty! There are little details on her that I've never been able to see from pictures!
 Like a mustache...

 & perfect whorls on her chest & belly!
 & I love the absolutely correct curve Jennifer Kroll gave her spine.

 Yep! I'm in love! :)
 As I said in my last post, I have wanted this gal for several years. In that time I had chosen her perfect color & name, just to be ready you know? She is going to be silver bay after the Gypsy stallion Silver bullet (yes, like the WIP Tiny); I thought that his lighter belly color would show her itchy pose well. As for her name, the title of a Civil War era song published in 1863 called Sweet Evelina, you can listen to it here. It's a lovely little song & seems to fit this gal well. It is one of my favorite whistling tunes. :)

 There was another thing that made my day a good one: Residing in my county seat is the Ohio Light Opera, & for many years now I have been waiting for them to put on "The Music Man". This is finally the year! At long last I got myself downtown to buy tickets for myself & Mom, aka my best friend, today. Opening night, middle outside seats, an introductory talk about the history of the play before the show & a soiree afterword. I am looking forward to it!

 & now for your dose of nature. Remember the Polyphemus cocoon I had in my workroom? Well, after a month of rattling around, so long that I had just about given up on her, she came out!

 That was a couple weeks ago. She is now out in the big wide world somewhere doing what moths do. I hope that she will pick one of the trees on the property to begin the next generation!
