The first Stablemates Club horse of the year, Atticus, is now available to members. Atticus is the Clydesdale stallion with a new modified loose mane and tail (which I think looks a lot better than the bobs of the previous design which always gave me anxiety whenever I'd ship one that one little bump could make a bob fall off) who is the 50/50 split between matte or glossy. I do have an extra one available, if anyone not in the club is interested in him. I won't know if the two I'm getting are going to be matte or glossy until they arrive. I'm missing out on so much training with my real horse because of this cold spell, which doesn't look like it's going to let up the entire 10 day forecast, in fact it seems like it's going to get worse again over the weekend (back into the negatives) so please bear with me with upcoming orders. To say it's cold is an understatement... it is so cold that frostbite can happen within 30 minutes of exposure. We got a bit of a break when the temperature rose to 19 degrees today so I went out to do a little bit of ground work with Ace, mostly lunging, all the while feeling like my fingers were going to fall off even with gloves on. I bought him a new blanket, which he fussed about at first (ahhhh! something is on me!) but seemed a lot more comfortable once he realized it was keeping him toasty. Breyer did call me today to let me know that they did receive the shipping containers that they were waiting on (yay!) so hopefully I'll be getting the rest of my order soon. I've heard from some fellow Aussies (for some reason dealers there have already received their 2021 releases a few weeks ago... I guess because maybe they're closer to China?) and ****spoiler alert so don't read on if you don't want to know what the chase pieces are for the new Chasing Rainbows Surprise is**** ...apparently one of the chase pieces is a solid hot pink on the standing Warmblood mold while the other chaser is a rainbow on the Croi mold, similar to my most recent custom (although "Chasing Rainbows" kind of made me feel like there was going to be a rainbow and would have surprised me if there wasn't I honestly had no idea the rainbow was going to be on the Croi mold) minus the fact that this Croi is a solid rainbow, no white markings at all. My custom Croi is still available, if any of you want to add her to your Croi conga, especially once the elusive Chasing Rainbows show up here in America they'd make good sisters :) Speaking of customs, this cold weather is giving me a brain freeze. Literally I have had absolutely no motivation for painting. I'm completely burnt out. It happens sometimes, I'll be at a loss for ideas and tired of going cross eyed staring at the tiniest of details so I'll take a few months off. When I come back, usually what I create doesn't stay for sale for very long. When I'm having a burn out, usually what I create takes forever to sell so then I have to strip the paint and try again when I come back from my break. I call it artist fatigue. I'm sure you customizers out there know exactly what I'm talking about.
Anyways, stay safe and well, everyone! Here's to hoping the rest of my ponies show up soon! Comments are closed.
