HURRAAAY ! news from Shanti  

Everything absolutely perfect as always, - even metal lining on the -what are they called - the underside of the sled ? - , the leather padding on the harnes on the chest etc  

And then this gorgeous girl with her ginger hair all over the place, enormous sweater and tattered slacks

Not to mention the pony, the quality of the photo, - I LOVE IT

Fantastic photo!

A beautiful atmospher of fairy tales!

Thank you! Made the harness and the sleigh in 2019 but no chance of snow.
But since yesterday we have winterwonderland! I hope you will have some snow too Ana!!

Just beautiful

Thank you so much Advicot!!

Beautiful work and photos! I love that model of the old Schleich pony. He looks great in a new coat.

Thank you!!

Our new german shepherd is helping with our mule.

Ohhh this is soooo sweet!!
What a clever boy, your beautiful GSD looks even more beautiful in these photos, they would be so good as the front photo of a card! I just love the second photo, they are such a fantastic pair!

That's such a sweet scene The tack of the mule looks very detailed too I also love the colours of the pictures.

Just wonderful! The mule is gorgeous

Thank you so much friends!!
Made the tack and repainted the mule some years ago and it was resting in a cabinet since. Now he has some use!

I rarely buy other animals than horses, donkeys, dogs, an occasional cat...
But this year a Lion by Schleich and recently a Lion by Papo jumped into my shopping cart. Hope you like them too!

Beautiful shots, wow!
I love the lighting of the first photo, so mystical and really showing the power that lions have, with this lovely night-time setting! The second photo is the perfect place for a lion, he looks alive!

I agree, two beautiful and very expressive pictures!

Thank you!!!

Lovely photos of those two lions!

The aesthetic and the setting of those two photos really make those models stand out. Congrats!

Wonderful photos and the Mule is absolutely stunning!!!

Thank you so much!!

Finished a cute resin model horse by Nicola Behr (https://nb-arts.de). She is in scale 1/32 and matches wonderfully with the Breyer Stablemates. Painted her to be a dapple grey and took her for photos today.

They are both adorable and what an excellent setting/photo!

Ah, she's lovely! I've always thought it's a shame there's no laying Stablemate mould (only a couple of foals, one hard to find), but that gap can be filled when resin artists make such good ones at the same scale.
She looks perfect in dappled grey - I like that you've gone for an older, more greyed-out mare, with the dapples starting to fade from her body but still dark on her quarters and legs, that's a lovely stage in the process and not painted nearly so often as the younger stages with more vibrant contrasty dappling, it's beautiful to see someone favouring a greyer grey

The electric strand around the fence is a perfect finishing touch (although knowing my mare's determination to reach other people's grass, she'd get down on her knees and stick her head through between the wooden rails if she couldn't lean over the top! )
