Second batch of Traditional Lola opens 29 November!

 
As promised, the second batch of Traditional Lola resins will become available for ordering soon. Because of the backlog in the current orders (thank you so much for your patience guys!), orders from the second batch will start shipping mid-January.
 
The order buttons for Lola will appear again on the order page on Monday, 29 November, around 17:00 hours Central European Time. That’s 11:00 in the morning in New York and 8:00 in LA.
 
A newsletter will go out as soon as the buttons are up.
 
The options will be to pay in full, and automatic payment subscriptions for 3 or 6 monthly payments. Worldwide shipping is available. The second batch consists of 45 copies. 
 
Don’t worry if you miss out on this one, there will be another batch in January. The long mane version will have several batches as well, starting Jan/Feb.

Saved from the bin

 
When you use epoxy to create your sculptures (like I do) and things don't go as planned, you sometimes end up sawing off a part of your project. Starting over can be easier than manipulating the stone hard epoxy into a different shape. 

Over the years I gathered quite a collection of hacked off bits and pieces. I just can't throw them away, you never know when they might come in handy. 
 
 
 
Like this head. It didn’t suit the horse it was on, but it’s cute and I kept it. 

I also keep a ‘spare epoxy horse’ on my table, because I always mix too much of the stuff. Right now it’s a damaged Encanto resin, I’m using leftover bits of epoxy to customize him into a heavier muscled schoolmaster type of PRE.  

And what do you know, it’s a match with the head! 
 
 
 
His name is Devante. He still needs a lot of work, but I like him already.

Traditional Lola released!

 
The first 45 castings of the short mane version are now available for ordering! International shipping and time payments are welcome.

Edit 10/2: The first batch is sold out, thank you!! You guys were very, very fast! We went over 45, but since a lot of orders are on time payments it won't be a problem. The remaining castings will be offered early November.

As always, thank you so much for your interest in my work! You are the best.💚

Traditional Lola!

 
Many of you have been waiting for her…and here she is! Traditional scale Lola. This full sized version of my very popular mini stock horse mare is an entirely new sculpture. Started from scratch, and filled with details that I didn’t have room for on the little one. There will be a long mane version too, and a special limited edition in ‘pasture potato style’ in 2022. And who knows, she might have a foal next year as well!

The Lola castings will be sold in batches, one mold (45 copies) at a time. This is to ensure we can ship everything in a timely manner. 
Don’t worry, there will be two batches per version, and time payments are welcome. The first batch of Lolas (short mane version) will become available on my website next week, at $315 or €320 per casting.

Mail from Sweden, and another sneak peek!

'Thank you' package from Sweden

 
Every year I donate a little something to the Swedish Vattenshowen model horse show. The Swedish hobby community is small but dedicated. They had to overcome some obstacles this year, but the show did go on and it seems like they had a lot of fun!

 

Delilah did well!

A familiar face did very well. Delilah! My small classic scale Arabian mare. I can’t believe it’s already fourteen years ago, but I sculpted Delilah in 2007. She still is one of my favorites.
 
 
A better look at Delilah

 
Speaking of Arabians, I might as well show you a new sculpture in progress! So far he only exists in the digital universe, but he will be printed soon and then detailed further by hand. Hope you like him!

Spaniards

Spanish guys sculpted & painted by me. Photo: Rebecca Jollymore

 
It's no secret, I'm crazy about Iberian horses. And I just love sculpting them. :)

Rebecca Jollymore sent me this beautiful picture of her LB scale Vingerling collection. I just had to share it with you, and speaking of Spaniards, I have something else to show you:


 
 New mini PRE in progress, yay!

Buckskin Fausto & blog updates

 
Just completed; the final Artist's Proof Fausto, number 5 in the series. Not for sale, he has already found a happy new owner. 

If you subscribed to receive my blog posts by email, you should get this post twice. One from Google Feedburner, for the last time as they will stop their services in July, and one from Follow.it who will take over the feed. You get both (just this once) so we can check if the data was transferred correctly.
 
If you only get one, drop me a note so I can add your email address. Or sign up again on my website. 

And now some more photos of Fausto! ;)

Photo shoot


Me and Apollo, my 19 year old Haflinger stallion. This golden horse (inside & out!) is my biggest inspiration, if you own one of my sculptures, you own a little piece of Apollo. So when we need new photo material of the artist, the horse needs to be there as well. And of course he steals the show!

Many thanks to my friend Patty Lindeboom, the photographer.
 
Handsome and he knows it
