*Studio anniversary, 2 new Lola releases!*

 

 

It’s time for a little celebration! My studio, Atelier Josine Vingerling, was founded exactly 15 years ago today! This year marks 20 years since I released my first resin edition.
Thank you all so, so much for supporting my work all these years! I'm looking forward to bringing you more wonderful horsey stuff in the future. But first, a little shindig!
 
And who better to celebrate it with than Lola, my best known sculpture! Two new Lola editions are joining the party today. Venti Lola, a mirrored version of short mane Lola in 1:20 scale, and a micro mini! 

Both are expertly translated to their new size by Jennifer Scott, who is a master at all things 3D. Venti Lola will be cast in resin by Jolt Studios and Shetland casting, and micro Lola will be 3D printed and cleaned by Jennifer and her team. 

Ordering info HERE, available until 25 September.

New micro mini molds

Two new micro minis, a Lusitano mare in a Spanish walk and an Andalusian stallion in piaffe. 
The third one, a Lippizaner performing the levade, wasn't in the mood for pewter and broke his mold. We'll try again later. The Andalusian and Lusitano will be released first, together with the re-release of the other four micros. They will become available for ordering as soon as the first batch of castings is ready to ship.

The drafter, Friesian, Arabian and stock horse molds have been renewed. They are smoother and more detailed than before, and super easy to prep!

The stock horse mare. Left: new mold

New Lusitano mare, cute from all angles :)

Tiny braided manes are hard to photograph

New micro Andalusian

Andalusian performing the piaffe, one of the new micro minis that will be released this summer. I think I need glasses now. :)

Micro Friesian painted by C. Riley

 

Another great little pewter appy. This micro Friesian has been painted by Christina Riley and is now available on eBay.
Christina even made a 360° view video!

Tiny spotted drafter

Another beauty painted by Nikki Button. Chubby spotty cuteness! :)

The pewter micro minis are temporarily out of stock, but I have one copy left of the QH mare. I also have two Arabians who are seconds (they both have a flaw on one of their front legs). Email me if you are interested in buying one or more of these little guys.

My pewter Dutch Draft, from the micro mini set of four breeds, beautifully finished by Lauren Morris. The tiny little bay roan is listed on eBay.

More micro goodness

Lauren Morris has finished another micro mini, the stock horse mare this time. A stunning grulla frame overo. What a cutie!
The little paint mare is on eBay right now, in a 3 day auction.

Below: the first time all four micro minis are painted and photographed together. This set has been painted by UK artist Anne Healion.

Micro power! Painted by Lauren Morris
