I haven’t had time to show her off properly… but I finally got her up on ebay tonight!
I should have listed her days ago…

Please check out the auction for full details and more pictures!!! ^.^

PS: Ski… be looking for pics of your uni this weekend! 😀 She’s getting close!!
PLEASE NOTE: I will be OUT OF TOWN starting tomorrow, 6/21 thru Tuesday, 6/26 for NAN in TX! I’m not entirely sure I’ll have internet access. Hopefully I will! Rest assured that I will contact the winning bidder and ship the unicorn when I return! I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
With her MANY Longears!!
Lori and I are driving out of AZ tomorrow morning… bound for NAN and TX… Belting out Brad Paisley tunes the entire way!!! 😆
We’ll see how soon we have the entire new album (5th Gear… go buy it! :lol:) memorized!!! 😆 I dunno about her but I’m well on my way already! 😉
We should be driving back Tuesday, 6/26….
See ya there… 😈 Or when we get back! 😯

Yessirreee she did!
But… but… I just can’t bring myself to cover her! HA HA ! So CUTE!!! O.o
😆
I received my Muse yesterday… OMG cuter than I thought!
She hardly left my hand all night! I dunno why… but it was oddly comforting to hold her… and contemplate how I’m going to paint her. 😯 I haev no idea why!
And now she’s sitting with me at work… staring squarely at me… 😯
I can’t decide if I’m going to sit down and concentrate on painting her…
Or if she’s going to sit on my desk… and get the leftover paint… rubbed off pastels etc… 😯
I Love the ODD colored eyes though! ACK CUTENESS!!! 😆
Yeah… I cleaned up my webshots albums… moved pics to be more organized… guess the Unicorn is one that suffered deletion… 😆
dragonessjade wrote:Nice collections. Ladybrooklyn, What is your photocube made out of?
This is my photocube! ^.^
Basically el-cheapo white fabric from Walmart… cut and glued around straightened hangers…. held together with alligator clips. Then the background/footing is just a sheet of bristol paper from Michael’s. I really do need another light or two. 😀 but that’s about it!
I used this article to make it!
Well… last night… I lost all sanity. I thik over the course of 5 or 6 hrs… I took at least 300 photos of horses… AND each indiviual Windstone…
The other day I got the bug to rearrange and streamline my 3 or 4 webshots albums… and this is the result… 😆
So… below are pics of my Windstones… but also check out the main page of that webshots… I think I added 6 or 7 albums full of a lot of my Model Horse collection too. 😉
All of the pics were taken in my new… HANDMADE Photocube! That thing is AWESOME! The pictures are so well lit! So much better than NOT using it! 😀
I think all taht’s missing now (since I fixed the horn on my Young Unicorn… YAY! I’ve missed having him on the shelf!) is my Father Dragon and Emerald Fledgeling… who both suffered major OWIES from the cats. Oh wait… and my Gryphon Candlelamp. 🙁
Ok… so last night I felt insane… and decided to do a little bit of house cleaning in my webshots albums…
I updated most of my main site… new horses and what not can be seen in many of the files!
http://community.webshots.com/user/desertsunstudios/
And… I moved all of the pictures (at least that I had access to on my fiance’s laptop… there are still a few angles that are MIA on my external HD…), of the PYOs I’ve done… into one album on that site. ^.^ Feel free to peruse and enjoy!
And the pictures of the Tobiano Unicorn were taken inside of my new hand made photocube!!! 😀 That thing is so awesome!
The pictures are a little dark… but I think I really just need one more light from the side… 😀 But I’m really liking the results… check out the “Kara-Kush” album at the top of the page… all of her pictures were taken in the photocube. 😀
Anyway… enjoy! better get back to work before they catch me… ~LOL~
Oh Whippet!!! ::HUGS!!!::
Hang in there hun! I know how that goes… BELIEVE me I’ve been living it too lately!!
We’re here for ya! 😀

Well… I use a combination of acrylics. Apple Barrel and Creamcoat… the cheap stuff you find at Walmart or Michaels… AND more expensive artist paints… like Golden and Liquitex. 😀
As for pastels… I use chalk pastels… crushed into dust. I then dust the different colors of pastels on the PYO (or Model horse) in layers… sealing each layer on the PYO with a clear acrylic sealer.
Of course if I don’t seal the pastels, they will not adhere to the PYO and eventually rub off.
Not to mention it takes 5-30 layers of pastels to achieve the color I want. ^.^
I have been promising for ages that I would do a tutorial on pastels… Once I get one of the PYO Unicorns going… I will do that! 😀
