Whew! It's been a rough past two weeks between the weather (all this rain-blah!) and then my left eye having a pain in it that made it impossible to paint (it's better now).
This weekend has been a weekend of painting, and I'm so happy to be back at it! After these last couple weeks of rain, I know that I need to invest in a lamp so that I have better lighting in my studio space rather than relying on natural lighting. Next paycheck I can hopefully do that (also hoping to add a heat gun for more customizing shenanigans!)
In original finish-dom, my friend was kind enough to feel up a bunch of blind bags and snag me not only the blue Alby-corn, but also the chase piece from the Spirit Blind Bags-the war paint Spirit! I'm super excited! On top of that, Wal-Mart had the new unicorn bags in, finally, and I got the red Alby-corn as well as the teal Clyde for my congas. My mini Alborozo conga is nearly complete only needing Sarge and the silver charm chase piece from those blind bags. I also recently purchased California Chrome (darn you Breyer for retiring him-do you know how hard your race horses are to find after they retire?!) as well as the CollectA donkey foal and the adorable silver dapple Shetland. I will need to order another one to customize as it's just too adorable to not be in other colors.
Then there's the resin I purchased at the end of August: a raw casting of Bourbon by Seunta. It's a raw casting and I am even more in love with it than I was when I first saw it on their website a year or two ago. Super happy to have it in my collection now. It just needs paint. Still debating if I want to attempt the Appaloosa pattern I have in mind, or send it to another artist to paint. We'll see what the future holds!
But back on topic/what you're here for--customs! Here are the ones that were finished two weeks ago, but never got their glamour shots:
 |
| (Fun decorator reminiscent of veined ore) |
 |
| (Mummy horse for Spooky Swap) |
And then here are the recently completed pieces including my NaReViMo model (who just needs the mohair at this point and white touch-ups on its stockings-same with the little bay):
 |
| (Buckskin Akhal-Teke) |
 |
| (Little bay inspired by the Thoroughbred-Golden Lad) |
 |
| (Buckskin Peruvian Paso with Bend Or Spots) |
 |
| (Isabella Palomino for a friend-will be haired at the same time as my NaReViMo horse) |
 |
| (NaReViMo horse-so close to being finished!) |
That's all for this post. Till the next time!
