This mare has been done for a while but the whole time she’s sat on the shelf yelling at me that she wasn’t done. So I picked up the paintbrush and the pattern just flew on her. The her foal started in that he wanted a new do to 🙂
So here they are.
They’re beautiful, Shandi.
I never realized what a problem those little horns can be for mare and colt when the baby wants to nurse…
Oooooh! I love those designs. Beautiful!
Now you just have to do them on a PYO unicorn

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmit looks to me like she’s about to wean him doesn’t she?? I swear she’s saying watch that horn son!
I have a picture of a foal where his neck is dipped to nurse he looked like a swan. I figure if a real colt can curve it’s neck like that then a Unicorn foal can to.
There have been some very heated discussions about unicorn foal horns. I say that it appears after birth and grows rapidly as unicorn foals don’t nurse as long as horse foals. They get fodder from moonlight and rose blooms 🙂
The spirals can either get tighter as they age or looser. I make them loose and they get tighter with age.Oh, I’m sure unicorn foals have an innate sense of how to nurse without hurting mom. But I agree – they definitely can’t be born with horns. 😀
Nice to see someone else does the same thing I do with my books. I have two bookshelves full with the books turned on their sides so I can fit more on the shelves and I’m still short on room.
Pretty unicorns as well!
Boy they’re pretty! 😀 I love how the foal has a completely different motif from his dam: it adds a nice depth to the pair by suggesting what the sire must have looked like. You really do amazing work. I would lose my little tiny mind trying to produce such perfect linework! 😯
if you go to my web site there is a purple arabian stallion done in a tribal style pattern and his color shifs from rich purple to a bright blue. He was fun I saw this tattoo and wanted to try it on a unicorn and it came out so well.
I free hand all those patterns and most of them just happen, I rarely control the pattern I tend to get lost in dreaming when I paint and sometimes the piece will tell me a story as I paint. I’ll come out of my trance and the whole thing will be painted and 5 hours have passed and my but will be asleep. 🙂 LOL
I remove the existing mane and tails and sometimes I’ll cut into the neck and head and reposition them and then resculpt the neck and head and then give them new manes and tails. I use epoxy scupting stuff you mix equal parts and then it will set up rock hard in 24 hours. It’s very sticky the first 20 mins and then it gets stiffer as I work and if I mix up to much it will be rock hard and I’ll have to much left over and waste it. I’m getting better at mixing up the right amount.
I love it! I enjoy every minute I’m in my studio and working. Heck hubby only sees me at supper because I’ll go right back in there and work, I spend between 12 and 15 hours in there a day.
