| Your links were working but pictures were not showing directly on forum so I edited it. Your works are wonderful, really! The color of pony is of a very good taste and very well done and the Shire is magnificent! |

| Thanks so much for the help!!! I am quite slow to grasp how to do these things!!  And thank you all for the encouraging comments!! My website (right now a blog) is mostly for my illustration work: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] but I frequently post the horses to my Facebook page (as well as the illustration, so you might have to scroll down or look in the photo albums). You can do a search for Creations By Mit or *try* the link below (not sure if I'm attaching correctly!!)

| Thanks so much! :) I appreciate the kind words and the welcome! Yes, the horse in my avatar is a CollectA Morgan that I customized earlier this fall. I just love the sculptures Deb McDermott has done for them! I often work on Breyer models and artist resins, so I get very excited when CollectA has a new horse sculpture that looks realistic because they are SO much more affordable! (Some of the larger artist resins I work on are over $300 USD each, unpainted!) These models were done using layer upon layer of pure pigment and pastels. There is probably about 30-40 layers on each horse to build up the color, sprayed in between with fixative. The white areas and eyes are painted. Sorry, but I do not have a tutorial. I am not a very good teacher. :) I've been experimenting with the pigments since 2003, so lots and lots of trial and error to get to this point. But it has been fun! Big thank you to those who checked out my Facebook page and website! I really appreciate it!  _________________ Creations By MitMichele Katz GriederCheck out my work on...

| I am so glad you succeeded posting pictures!  With your excelent works, I suspect it will turn in an excelent contribution to the forum. I watched again your Shire, I use to judge the figures mainly based on their sculpts and I always found this figure very decent. With your repaint it rivals some composition Shire horses sculpts and puts the Safari figure very steps forward when compared with some other Shires from other known brands. I do really like it. |

| Thank you! Yes, sometimes you really have to look hard to imagine the potential of a sculpture because the factory paint is rather plain, or not done well. The Safari Shire was originally black, and his face had pink that was too bright.  I usually try to buy the sloppiest ones to re paint, and leave the better ones in the store for people to buy who will likely leave them as-is.b:) I'm afraid I think I only have one or 2 others that would be of interest here. The rest are Breyer horses or artist resins.  (we can't post those here, can we?) _________________ Creations By MitMichele Katz GriederCheck out my work on...

|  Fjord to your service I'm very interested in your ARs. I may have put a down payment on a new one recently.  I wish I could have more, if only resin wasn't so expensive! |

| Yes, the are expensive, LeeAnn! I try to sell custom Breyers to fund my artist resins, but it seems I buy much more than I sell! OK Roger! Then I will share the story of a small Artist Resin (a little smaller than the Safari Shire). This is an Animal Artistry (UK) Friesian Mare. It was one of the very first resins I bought back in 2003. It traveled with me over the years as I moved to 2 different states, waiting patiently for paint. Then.....she fell over on the shelf and broke her 2 front legs (they are made of very brittle resin material)....and waited some more.  FINALLY I repaired the legs in February & she could stand again! And she waited some more until I finished painting her in October. She went on to win a 1st place in workmanship at her very first show. I guess it was a good repair job! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Thank you, LeeAnn & Jonas! LeeAnn, I showed at a few region 9 shows when I lived in NJ (I worked in product development for Breyer from 2006-2010) but mostly trekked back up to region 10 to show (where I was originally from & where I am now). I went to a show in PA back in maybe 2007 or maybe 2008......was it yours?  _________________ Creations By MitMichele Katz GriederCheck out my work on...

| Seeing how wonderful it is it doesn't surprise your good performance with it. Interesting also that it was originally a Friesian and you gave a new look to that horse. It is great that you keep sharing your works and it is also interesting to know that you're linked to Breyer. :) |

| I have no regrets, and learned a lot there, but I can assure you, it was not Disney World! It was 100% work.  LeeAnn were you at NAN in Harrisburg in 2013? Perhaps our paths have already crossed? It was my very first time at the nationals and I have to say, that Saturday was one of the most memorable days of my life! :) Roger, I have to admit, painting friesians is is not really my thing. Too much black!  Black can have beautiful undertones, though! _________________ Creations By MitMichele Katz GriederCheck out my work on...
