Hello, everybody! As you know, we're working on several of my sculptures to use as jewelry pendants, brooches, etc., and we're creating the molds ourselves. We patiently waited for more of the silicone molds to cure over last weekend. Then, we carefully poured the clear, or black resin into the molds. After several more hours, they were firm enough to release. We all gathered to see what the horses would look like. They just sparkled! What a thrill to see them come to life. The little Arabian horse sculptures came out so well. I'm so happy to see them pop out of the molds so beautifully. It's a time intensive process, but the rewards have made it worthwhile.
I have been sharing Arabian horse drawings for friends on Facebook, and one of my friends commented that I should cast sculpture versions of the horses I've been drawing. Well, why not? Phil and I thought about what would be of use for clubs, and what my collectors would most like to see. 
We went to work, and settled on three ideas for small bas relief sculptures. It's been awhile since we've cast anything, but we discovered it was like riding a bicycle; it all comes back to you. I had plenty of wax and other sculpture materials in boxes, here and there. Phil gathered them all up, cleaned off my tools, and I got to work. In just a few days, we were reading to go. Here's where we are in the process.
After many loyal and wonderful years, my old Dell laptop has bit the dust. Hurray, long live my new Sony Vaio! Our daughter, Francesca, spent this afternoon with me at the Sony outlet in Marysville, WA, and we found just what I needed. What an amazing machine. Just proves you should check out the refurbished computers they carry if you're on a budget. Chances are, you'll be able to find a great computer at a very pleasing price. Now, I can go back to creating the equine art we need for the new fund raising items. Let me know what you think. We're going to be putting the most popular new designs into production for your equine rescue or charity.
This image is now on a ceramic mug available right now. Need a fund raising idea for your club? Just ask. Here's some of my latest horse designs.
