So I should have blogged yesterday to say that this guy showed up and totally distracted me from my work....

This is Ajmal, sculpted by Debbi Lermond.  This is my second time owning an unpainted Ajmal, and he is just as spectacular as I remember.  I sold my first copy when I got out of models for awhile, and the opportunity arose to purchase another one.  I have plans to hair him, and paint him a light gray.  I haven't decided who will paint him.  I'm thinking I might, but I need to practice on a few horses first.  Or I will find someone to paint him who will let me do the hairing after, because that is my favorite part.  I'm also going to make him a dancing horse costume, and it will be my first one.  I will soon begin to hair prepping on him myself, quite a task.  

The halters are coming to a finish today.  Here's a look at that bright blue, and my reds.  I just finished cowries for the bright blue, and will be adding those shortly.  I just need to make two more sets of cowries for my red halters.

This batch below is really coming to life now.  I added the cowries this morning and I forget how much life it brings to them.  I'm also excited because I discovered another detail tactic that I hadn't thought of before.  If you look closely at the close up of that turquoise halter you'll see on the end tassels, right above where they are wrapped there are little designs added on.  Just gives it more pop, and makes it even more gloriously detailed!

That's all for now, next up will be photos of all six pieces finally finished!  WOO!!!

Thanks for reading & Happy Collecting!
