Hand Sculpted pin

[REO]

I made a lil horsehead pin like 20 years ago. I decided to make one for me recently,

It turned out ok so I decided to donate my making a pin for someone to raise money on the CMHR thread.

I tried extra hard and I'm VERY pleased with it!

This is just me mixing colored clays and using my hands to make it by hand!

I wish I could mold it and make more LOL!

Whatcha think?

It's 2.75" tall. It's gorgeous in person!

I'd love to buy a buckskin one, come on now..think about it.

Wow Robin! I love it!

Now that is true talent, Robin! Wow.

Very nice!

You can easily make a mold using the two part stuff that makes flexable molds. ( it is acutally a type of dental mold)

I used it when working in metal clay. It picks up the smallest details and because it is flexable easy to unmold the new peices.

That is beautiful Robin!!!!

 

[little lady]

Stunning!!!

I sure hope you could figure a way to produce these on a regular basis.

 

[Watcheye]

Thats fabulous Robin!

 

[Tab]

Beautiful!

 

[Jill]

That's beautiful!!!

That is gorgeous!!! I would also love to have one, actually two. One of our stallion and one of my gelding.

Hope you can figure out how to make them fast enough to make some money and pins for us!!!

Thank you all so much!

This is only the 3rd one I've ever made and now I'm thinking of all the possibilities!

I've been thinking, molding would be nice but I like to make each one into it's own work of art. No two alike! Just like the horses themselves! But it still would be neat to make a mold for other things. I'll have to look into that! Thanks for the info!

Very NICE Robin! I see pin making in your future!!!!

 

[CZP1]

It is beautful! You are very talented!

 

[ruffian]

And I get to own it! I am beyond thrilled with this, and can't wait to see it in person!

Thanks my friend - it's beautiful

Even if you did use a mold, the painting the horse it's very own personal colour would make it unique, and it's own work of art...plus make it easier for you to make more of them. Hint-hint.....

Should you decide to make them, please PM me and let me know the cost...I would love one for myself, and they would make awesome gifts for special people. I am thinking Christmas 2011 already.

Robin you were holding back on us...you are very crafty!! That is beautiful work. You can also consider making hanging ornaments out of them as well.

I have a wall full of blue ribbons and Best Of Show rosettes for my arts & crafts

I enjoy doing stuff!

Thanks for all your nice comments!
