Straight From the Lab

With all the horses we have painted, its time to return to the vision of a majestic bay horse. With the many forests in its destination land, you can assure that the warmth of a gentle equine will greet you. Applying a chocolate coat with some red pigment, a black area is stark along the front of its muzzle and nostrils. Upon the forehead a white blaze is painted, hinting at a diamond shape. Using some soft blending, we did our best to blend the solid strong brown with the painted on areas of our mask. The diamond was painted with a bit of a wiggle, with different sized strokes at the edges. We hope the wiggle worked into the blaze reflects movement in our work. This pony is bound for lands oversea, with intention placed in the mask to exhibit its unbridled nature.

.... yup, that diamond was just a bit too sharp for the client's liking. With some precision, it was smoothed out and made a bit more organic

60% of the way in, but there is something not quite right....

One of the important design tools...

Bungee Horse is watching you...

Even our shop pony likes to get all dressed up to hang out with fellow ponies at con.

Xanthos' hairpiece was made with the longest wefts that we could find.

We saw many of our friends and peers at FC2014. With everyone getting ready for going down to the lobby, this pic just happened spontaneously.

We participated in Califur 2013's Art Show. We snapped this photo just before the doors opened.

Another grouping of masks, each in their respective pillowcases. meddle got a bit creative with marking our orders with Post-Its.

Drying upon the wine bottles.

3 horse and 2 cat masks lay upon our "special" mask holders. Yes, those are wine bottles.

Last minute change of plans had us transferring a complete design to a muzzle mount HG1. Wasnt my plan but great practice.

Our HG1 mask was 'born' under a solar eclipse, seen here in Southern California.

If you look carefully, you can see the light effects from a solar eclipse.
