Updates from Our Artists


Lots of quick updates from our artists! Michelle Platt sent me this photo of her Unbridled Joy resin, this one painted by Dani Schacht. I can't get over the realism. This is one of the things that attracted me to the hobby back in the 1970's - you can practically hear the crowd road behind this guy as he leaps into the airs above the ground!

Candace Liddy dropped me a quick note to let me know that her latest project for us is underway...more kitty sculptures! She got so much positive feedback on Minx & OJ, and customers loved them so much that she decided to sculpt more kitties for EquinArt. Yay!

Tabatha posted that Elnathan is heading towards the finish line, and he'll start shipping out as soon as she gets word from the caster that he's done. He's shipping in a first ordered, first ship manner...and anyone who's paid in full will get on the list of the first to ship! Please be patient though as we've got a lot to ship out.

Luis Aquilar from Mexico sent me two of his bull sculptures, one painted solid black and the other red. These are the bulls in large Traditional size that have interchangeable horns. They are very light and well made. I have both in stock right now.

Sheri Rhodes also has something new available, although this isn't a horse - it's a tool for equine sculptors that one of her employees created. It's a gizmo that you hold up to the horse's head to check the proportions. At just about $10, it's worth it if you sculpt.

As for myself, I spent quality time with my buddy Dozer the Belgian draft horse this past weekend. I've also found a Belgian breeder nearby; who knows, would you like to see more draft horse resins? Let me know!

  1. I ALWAYS want more draft horse resins!!! :) Granted there are a lot of them right now, but they have such nice big beautiful butts. The gentle faces aren't bad either :)

  2. I would also love more drafts - especially in performance-friendly poses!
