Update on "Purple Haze"

Good Thursday morning everyone. For the past few days, I have been working on the presentation sets. Mostly getting Scarlett's set done. But I have hit a road block. I just realized that I don't have any Swarvoski Elements. I need to make an order out and get them here ASAP!!! I feel bad cause I was going to mail that set and the rainbow out tomorrow :(

Anyway, Here are some photo's of the progress. 

As you can see I am working on the center piece of the breast collar here. Sorry that it looks upside down. My camera for some reason made me think it was right side up.......Crazy camera.

Here is the breast collar with all the tassels attached and locked down. I did leave off the center piece for this photo.

And here is the breast collar and almost all it's glory. Yes the center piece is attached here. 

What is really funny is this isn't the only Purple set I will be doing. The next one though is a different dye lot of thread, plus there won't be any white at the bottom. It will be light lavender. Plus this set in the photo's has silver hardware where as the other one will have Gold. 

Now time to get past this roadblock LOL

More coin/chain work............My eyes!!!

Good Sunday morning!!! Yup back to work I went. Been working on Scarlette Wilde's "Purple Haze". Finally got the nose chain done. Actually the halter is pretty much done. Just have to add the tassels and do the lead and it will be done. Here is are a few photo's of the nose chain. 

I thoroughly am enjoying doing this set. On the breast collar, there will be 39 tassels. Here is a picture of the first stages of it.

Now your probably wondering about the white threads right? Well I use those threads to determine where each tassel/tassel set goes. The reason the middle of the breast collar is blank is cause I am adding a triple tassel charm. Plus I will be adding some Amethyst colored Swaroski Elements. As you can see there will be 16 sets of tassels on each side of the breast collar. Hopefully I will be able to mail this and Rainbow Delight to Scarlette this week.

Well until laters :)

I know it has been awhile since I last blogged and really I need to keep up more here since all the drama has been going on on Facebook. I won't go into it though.  Here are the latest happenings here. Yes I have been working on presentation sets..........lots of them in fact. Scarlett Wilde ordered 10 of them. We have worked out a trade for them. 2 of my sets for 1 of her etches Not a bad deal IMO. I did finish some of Kollean's sets and was able to mail one of them. The other has to be done over again. I messed up on the halter. It won't fit. LOL

Anyway, here is a picture of the "Rainbow Delight" I did for Scarlett.

As you can see it is colorful. I personally love this set. I just may do one for myself. 

Next we have is Kollean's set. 

I am proud of this set. Even though I didn't add enough tassels is the only down fall I have with this set. Yes even Kollean brought it to my attention. What is sad is that I mailed it BEFORE making changes. I haven't heard from Kollean to let me know if it arrived safely or not. I have tried to call, but I only get her answering machine. I truly hope she is ok. 

Here is another set I am working on for Kollean. It is called Rose Petals. As you can see I do have the breast collar done, and the halter is just about done. Just waiting for more thread to come in.

Now isn't that a sweet looking piece of art? I think so. As soon as I get the halter done, I will post a picture of the set on my model. Yea I know he is a pinto marked boy, but he loves to be the "Model" of all the sets. LOL

Here is "Simplicity" that was another order of Kolleans. 

As you can see, it is quite nice. Also I have had people ask me how do I attach the charms to the chain nose band.  All I can say is "Make your own 'O' rings smaller than the smallest 'O' ring you have in your possession." It isn't easy at first, but through trial and error, I can say I have mastered that art. Here is a picture I took of a nose chain after the coin charms added

As you can see here, it is NOT an easy job. Plus it does put a strain on your eyes. So my advice is to make sure you are well rested and jacked up on either coffee or 5 hour energy. 

Plus I am also working on a few "Personal" presentation sets to show in October at the Model Horse Expo live. They will be for sale after the show. Here are a few pictures of one of the sets. 

As you can see, I love the color grey. But my ultimate favorite is purple. LOL 

Some people will frown at the nose chain, but we all have the right to be different. Thankfully all those who have seen this set, fell in love with it. Hopefully in the next few weeks, I will be able to finish it up and get it ready for the show. I will post any results here. 

Sick people we have today in this society

Normally I don't go off about things, but this really pissed me off. There is a blogger here on blog spot that thinks it is funny as hell to advertise "Horse Hunting". hell, here is the link

http://texashorsehunts.blogspot.com/2013/02/blog-post.html?spref=fb&m=1

I have reported this blog due to the fact that he is advertising abuse. I think the person behind this should be hunted down and killed. 

Well, We have been doing good so far. Been working on my website. Doing it offline cause I have BIG changes to make to it. 

If your wondering, No I didn't get to go to Lone Star Live. Yea you guessed it. The hubby. He says that until we get the house paid off and his pickup paid off then I might get to go. But I have heard that story way to many times. By the time we get one or the other paid off, we go back into debt. It's like he can't stand it when we don't have any payments to make except for bills. Heck he is already talking about getting me a 2013 Cadillac. UHM............NO!!! It's not that I don't like Caddies, I don't want to pay $50,000.00++ for one. Yea the one he want's to get me costs over that amount. 

I know what it is. He listens to his family way to much. Joyce(his sister) says that my hobby is just a dumb hobby. According to her, us collectors are just a bunch of over grown kids who PLAY with toy horses. What ever. It just erks me cause I love this hobby and Dan don't. He thought I would out grow it after we got married. Nope, it just got worse. Oh well.

On to other news.

We have been getting new models, but with this crazy weather, I can't get any good outside photo's(something I have been dying to get). Have a new backdrop and can't even show it off :(

2013.............LOL

I know I am late and we are 20 days into 2013, but hey at least I am still here. 

Your probably wondering if I made the infamous new years resolution to loose weight.........Nope I didn't. 85% of the people who DO make that resolution DO NOT stick to it after 6 months. So my resolution this year is to buy 1000 model horses. Yea that is a lot and I already started off great!  So far I am up to 25.......so I need to get 975 more models BEFORE December 31,2013. You think it will happen? I do. 

Anyway, got my first ever OOAK Stone ASB. Oh man is he a looker.

His mold name is "Brushley" but I named him "Blown Away" and rightfully so too

I am hoping that Daniel will let me go to Lone Star Live in Fort Worth, but I have a deep gut feeling he isn't going to let me go. Sucks cause i really want to go. I absolutely love to go to live shows. But his deal is that when I go to a show, I am looking for another man. Oh yea, I am looking for another man..............sure............one with 4 legs and neighs...........well we all know that plastic done neigh.

Lets see, got a butt load of Sm's for like $20.00. All of them are in great condition too. Plus I got the mid-states release "Constellation" for $30.00 and there are kids on Facebook selling theirs for like $100.00. One girl said that the model was limited only to 50 made............Bullshit. I can still get that model at Gebo's for $30.00. I just may pick up one when I go to town.

See she is a beautiful model too. 

Another lovely model I acquired is one of the several that were stolen.

She came to me already named, So I kept it along with her 5 gen pedigree. 

Well better stop for now before I go completely nuts.  I will post tomorrow some of the other stuff I have going on.......*shifty eyes*

Photo thieves...........

Yea my temper has been jacked up big time. 


I am so damn tired of these damn kids thinking that it is perfectly fine to go to a search engine type in "Model Horses". When the images come up, they mouse over one they like and then right click on it......download it to their computers and then upload them to Face book...........Thus JACKING THE MOTHER FUCKER!!!


OK how fucking hard is it to actually click on the photo, find out what site it is on and fucking email the owner asking for permission to use it??? Evidently REALLY FUCKING HARD.


There is a girl on Face book who thinks that since the photo is on a search engine than it is perfectly fine to jack it and say that even thou she don't own the model it is OK to OWN THE PHOTO!!!


WRONG YOU LITTLE SNOT ASSED TWIT. She must have not read the Copy write laws.


I thankfully did find out who owns the photo's and was able to contact them over it. 
I hope like hell the photo owner lets her know that she can get into some serious ass trouble. I don't give a rats ass if she lives in England........The copy write law is world wide..........NOT just in the USA.


I personally DO NOT jack photo's. I will write to the owner asking if it is ok to use their photo as a reference photo if I can't find one that I need. If they say ok, then I am cool with that. If they say no, then I look else ware and ask the next photo owner.


But this one user refuses to do that. I guess she must think it is a waste of time. Well she is a waste of time.........MY TIME!!!
