Go to her "new customs" vid on her youtube account HorseCraft03.


It would! I guess it's possible, but just not as common.

Yeah. Ok somebody is singing outside default smiley xd

Anyways my mare is turning out ok. She's a little bit lumpy because I discovered the best method with this really unmoldable clay is to cut it into little pieces, wet it a little, slightly squish it onto the horse, leave it for a minute, go over with my hard brush, then soak my finger and try to smooth it out. I wish I could post a pic but I can't!

Haha! Are you using epoxy?
By Retired breeder, 6th August 2015 15:18:27
Nope. Air dry clay. I don't have epoxy yet, but I wouldn't use it for a whole horse until I get really good
By Retired breeder, 6th August 2015 18:13:24
Oh, okay, I should try that! Does it come out smooth?

Haha! She does! I was like, wow! You have rain!

Pengy, I think with a lot of work it will turn out smooth default smiley xd so here's my theory: if you don't want to spend a lot on a first try, and you're willing to put in a lot of work, it's a good start. However I think I might try to use epoxy anyways- I'm going to get a base coat going, then stop. Then, once I have epoxy, I'll do the top layer and make sure it's smooth and muscled, then add pretty hair and a face. I mean, if get the main part done it takes less epoxy, but with my air dry stuff, I'll never get a flowing tail, or a kind face.

Don't you hate it when your blinds are shaking very loudly and you go to ATTEMPT to shut them up and then you come back and your entire long message is gone? I sure do.

Anyways, I'm working on improving my big barn. I did some minor constructional repairs (fixed several doors and two wiggly dividers) and now I'm adding Popsicle sticks as decorati
By Retired breeder, 7th August 2015 02:05:48
Oh that makes me SO mad I'm really loosing my patience! Im really mad at my ipod right now ANYWAYS, I'm adding decorative Popsicle sticks to make it seem more barny and less cardboardy. I may also add paper trim around the doors, but that means pulling them off AGAIN so probably not soon.

I have blue carpet too! I find these giant boards at hobby lobby and I want two of them for my barn. and I want grass scrapbook paper to glue on them. They'd be SO perfect! But I'm broke.
By Retired breeder, 7th August 2015 02:50:42
Plus I'm saving for a stick and string, so that's not happeNing any time soon.

I have a green grass carpet in my schleich room and I love it... Until the cat goes on it... Lol
By Retired breeder, 7th August 2015 11:24:56
Yeah I love it because it's not super short (I don't mind super short unless I don't have padding underneath since now we have hardwood) but it looks slightly like grass, it's kinda soft, yet the horses can stand on it! It rocks.

I have a full carpet that takes up the whole room. For my breyer layout, I have two carpets next to each other. Today my world history stuff came and the box had this part that looks exactly like a ring:
Have fun at the beach Kate!
By Retired breeder, 7th August 2015 13:39:23
That looks cool! I have blue(we kinda all have it) carpet that is really short so for schleich they can stand easy on it. But my mom makes me put my schleichers on some tables, I cram as many as I can in there and still have space for one more!
By Retired breeder, 7th August 2015 13:39:55
Oh, and have fun at the beach kate!
Thanks!

And what model is that? That isn't Schleich.. CollectA
