More photos of stuff in the studio!






I'm very fond of taking pictures of pieces when I have more than one hanging out in the studio. I'm fortunate enough to have enough buyers that pieces do not stick around very long so I try to get photos of groups as often as I can.

The first photo is of a green bosal that I made last year. It is now owned by Susan parker and I'm in the middle of making a mecate for it. The second photo is of a mecate that I had intended to go with the green bosal but it is too short!

The third photo is a detail photo of Alicia Vogel's Breastcollar.

THe fourth photo is of the donation reins for Kylee Deemers Cookeville Classic Live show.

The last photo is all of the together with an American Quarter thrown in for scale.

Done!




I have finally finished, to my satisfaction, the breastcollar for alicia vogel's bridle. It's going to be a beautiful set when together and I really admire her color choice! This was a trade for a jennifer buxton dressage saddle.. which will be a nice addtion to my tack collection

I am finding myself in need of a bit of cash so I'm going to try to produce a few small things, like halters, to raise some capital.. I'm open to ideas.. so stay tuned!

quick blather..


Not much progress in the studio this past week or weekend unfortunately - despite my enthusiasm to get up there! Haven't been feeling well and thats kept me out..

Above is a photo of kylie deemers donation for cookville classic live in october. I can't decided whether or not the braiding is done, and I know I need to redo the "popper".

I had started on the centerpiece (Finally!) for alicia vogel's breastcollar but I mapped out the pattern incorrectly. I have a new plan brewing in the ole noggin though and I'm hoping I feel well enough to get up in the studio today and get the pattern done and onto silver!

Lastly, I'm very very slowly uploading my NAN and Breyerfest photos to webshots. I think though I'll have to break out the performance photos and the halter photos because I have a limit of 1000 photos on webshots and I tool well over that number..
