Hmm..
Sorry it has been a while. I have been busy busy on the bridle I was working on. The romels took a ton of time to braid/knot. Here are some pictures. I knew when I seen Heather Moreton-Abounders work and Susan Youngs that they took spent a lot of time on them. Now, I have a whole new type of appreciation for these miniature works. I sat here and as the hours passed by I lost count. But through all that time that I lost track of it was because tying these knots were the most relaxing and fun thing I could have done for myself. They are a great stress reliever. These photos were courtesy of my husband, who also was awesome and started to built me a mini tack box. Well, like his dad, he decided the box needed to be larger. He had built me a tack box for my real horse that after he was done I could literally walk into it and stand there. Bigger is better they say! I told my husband that he is going to have to fill up the 18 saddle racks he put there. That I am TOTALLY ok with! lol. Plenty of bridle space too. I finished the western show halter in pinks for Show for the Cure in IL 2013 but forgot to get a great picture so I will take some soon. Ruth received her bridle that she said was just beautiful and my buyer in Canada just loved her show halter. I am SO excited to be getting my work out there. I want to thank everyone who follows my work also and lets their friends know about me. It means a lot. I can not wait to see my pieces help the horses NAN.

How lucky you are to have Heather so close. (I believe spelled Abounader.) Congratulations on a stunning bridle! Who's the lucky winner?
ReplyDeleteI suspect Tiffany Purdy will be in love with any good braided pink tack!
You might want to consider investing in a stopwatch. It's easy to pinch it when you sit down to start work and pinch again when you get up. Nothing hard. WaldeMart carries stopwatches.
Keep up the good work. :)
Ahh. I did have fast fingers! Heather Abounader of Desert Night Creations. The pinks show halter is going to Jenna Nejman in IL for her Show for the cure. Does Tiffany Purdy have a show for the cure also?
ReplyDeleteOh and yes. This bridle will now belong to Pat
