My sculptures

I like to customize Schleich figures but I love to model my own horses too. Here you can see them! I hope you like them as much as I do!

My FIRST sculpture. A bit ugly, I know xD And a frightening eye!

Second trying. I think I improved a bit... I don´t know if you can see it, I love the golden eye!

An Arabian stallion. I´m quite proud of it. I based on a drawing I drew myself, no photo-reference.

This was a commission.

And the newest, another commission, this time of a real-life horse who lived in 1940-50. I used an old photo as reference.

Fantastic works! I like especially Your latest one but all are very nice. Seems You are great horse lover Thank You for showing Your works.

WOW! How you have become an artist ! How long ago did you make the first one ?
They are just great !

About the golden eyes, - it is usually connected to the cream-gene in the breeds I know, - Palomino, buckskin, smoky or black with hidden cream. According to that theory a flaxen chestnut can`t have golden eyes, - but then it is not a horse but a unicorn

Ohh, I love them all.

Brilliant models!! They really fantastic

Thank you all!

The first one was made on July 2009.

About the golden eye... I know It´just I didn´t know when I painted it! xD In fact, that unicorn is something like a linebacked mealy chocolate flaxen. Anyway, golden eyes are not excusive of cream gene, so it could be possible. Since I´ve learnt a bit about equine coat genetics I see it a bit unrealistic :) Thank you so much for your commen;)

The unicorn has a PERFECT unicorn-colour

he is gorgeous

Dont take note of me, it used to be one of my hobbies many years ago

Do yo have photos of your own model horses? :)

What do you make your models out of?

If you mean which kind of clay I use, it´s Sculpey :) (Sorry if I didn´t understand the question, my English is not very good)

Yes, thanks, the clay looks really good. The clay I use I'm getting a bit annoyed with as I'm restricted to what I can do with it, hard to work with and not that strong when dry. It's hard to do thin legs and other delicate things like long horns.

Beautiful work.
We like them most is the pictures. Arab has so much grace. It looks like a model on the catwalk. Really are fantastic. On what scale did you do it

Oh, I forgot the scale! You´re right.

They are same size as Schleich horses are. In that way they look great with my collection (the ones I keep for me: the grey with blue eyes, the unicorn and the Arabian) :)

WOW! Wonderful horses!

I know

Wow, they look great you are realy tallented

I see you use the same clay as I do. At first I used cernit-clay, but that was realy lousy when you want o do smal detailes and animals standing up. Then I found skulpy, wich I think works realy good.

The only thing I kinda dont like is that some of the clay is realy hard while other are much softer and easier to work with

Really? I always have the same softness with it. Maybe it could be a bit harder is it has been opened for a long time, but it gets as soft as if it was new with a bit knocking work :)

No, thats not it

Some of them, when I open them, are soft and perfect to work with from the beginning, while other are hard, and still doesnt get as soft as I want after a lot of rubbing.

Cant realy explain it, but al of them are tightly wrapped so it cant be from beeing in the air for to long.

I realy have no idea why this is, but I usually use the harder ones for big areas, like the main body of an animal, while I use the softer for smaler detailes, like the head, tail etc, so it works out pretty well

I don´t know how do you keep your clay when you are not using it. I use a plastic bag, and I close it very well, to avoid the clay getting dry. Maybe you should try this :)
