There is a range of grashoppers called Painted Grashoppers , and of course I wanted to make one for Blaine.

They are wonderful They look so artistic!

I got the most wonderful, adorable little puppy model from Anne-Joke! Thank you so much! I love it!
It's a Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppy I had to check the breed because I only know more common dog breeds, and wow, I think they are lovely! Adults are just as adorable as puppies, happy fluffs, hahaha  
Got also a lovely letter from A-J, dankjewel!!

Oh my gosh, he's so cute!! Congratulations Anna, and great work A-J!

Ooooh, it's incredible cute What a lovely figurine! Congratulations, Anna, and well done, Anne-Joke Anne-Joke, can you tell us the story behind it? Is it a repaint or did you customize it (if yes, what was the original model)? Or did you sculpt it yourself? I'm curious

Hurray! I'm so happy he arived savely and that you like him I did some research on the breed before resculpting and they are very lovely doggies

@Julie: it's a resculpt and I photographed the whole proces. I'll share some pictures soon.

These last two figures are also very beautiful and excellent ideas! The grasshooper is very well painted and Susanne has always a tendency to colored creatures. Who told all grasshoppers are green? These Chromacris are all very similar, C. peruviana is also not far from what Susanne did and it show Susanne is also a talented member of this community.
Another great idea is the pup, a Polish breed to a Polish woman. It is absolutely cute and looks really fantastic!

I want to thank A.R.Garcia for the most wonderful package this year <3 I am amazed by the wonderful drawings and the wonderful animals. I am knocked away by the research that went into this project <3

I AM BEYOND AMAZED, THANK YOU ANDY!!!!

What an amazing lot! I already saw some of the process photos of the horse and I have to say, I love it Congratulations with this gorgeous group, Tessa! And lovely work, Andy!

Awesome swap package! I just love that roan

I'm glad they arrived safely and I'm happy you like them, Tessa. They were fun to research and paint, as my first repaints of a horse and rabbit. It's nice to see you already have names for them, and they seem to be enjoying some sunlight in the picture. (I was also excited to find those postcards with a couple similar-looking horses.)

These other customs are very interesting, and varied. Eternity, you not only sent but also received a metallic creation! I like its striped tail. The grasshopper is beautiful and clearly reflects the details of the real thing. That was a good idea for something that will stand out in an insect collection. The little puppy is also charming- the painting/fur is very realistic and it has a perfect expression. I like the picture of it in the hat.

First of all : Thankyou for the many kind words about the grashopper

But nothing like the gorgeous models that A.R.Garcia has made , - WOW !!!

And the lovely little Polish Lowland Sheepdog puppy , - ohhh
