This Classics-scale Arabian is Item #703113 created on a new-ish mold #642 – the Arabian Craft Horse mold – which had a little tweaking to make this beauty! This is the first time we’ve ever used glossy model for the Fun Days horse and you’ll also find it packaged in fresh new packaging. Introduce Breyer to a young friend by supporting a local retailer that is hosting a Fun Day and start his or her collection with Onyx.  Onyx 2010 Breyer Fun Days Horse By News Bot, on March 1st, 2010 in Artist News |  DaCaprio by Tumlinson DaCaprio is a Mini Warmblood stallion performing the Piaffe sculpted by Stacey Tumlinson. He is 4.25″ long and will be a limited edition of 150-200 pieces total. His release will be split up into batches that may be released several months apart. Currently there are 100 released. Of those over half are sold as of March 1, 2010. Please note that the photos were taken Feb. 25 and are not the greatest due to the apoxie and green filler. I didn’t want to spray him with white primer as it fills in details and give a rough texture. Since then I have done a little fine tuning to his face and tail, adding detail as well. He balances perfectly on 2 legs and his tail tip. DaCaprio is currently open for ordering. Please note that it will be 4-8 weeks before castings begin shipping. He is priced at $95 ppd in the US and $100 ppd International.
For more photos and to place your order visit his page on Stacey’s website.

She is named after her pose, which is represented in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs as a striking cobra. There’s quite a bit about it out there online under Egyptology discussions (and not all of it in agreement) and I wouldn’t want to misquote anything! Suffice to say that this defiant little mare embodies the noble bearing of a young queen who is displeased and demanding respect. Due to this particular pose representing an extremely tense and quick movement horses make when greeting each other and establishing hierarchy, I’ve decided it might be best if I share a number of videos to give buyers a feel for the movement in action. It’s quite hard to photograph but anyone who’s had their upper fence boards knocked down from over the fence greetings can appreciate how quickly it happens. Three quick videos of this can be found here. Horses make this behavioral gesture in all sorts of situations to display defiance. Iaret is $165.00 postage paid in the United States see her page on Morgen’s website for more information and payment options.

This medallion is a low relief with an Art Nouveau frame and the raised words Peace below the horses. Peace is almost 5 inches tall and 4 inches wide. Cast in white resin with a silica filler mixed into the resin ( that what makes that stone look) There is really no clean up or prepping for this medallion. It cast so clean and nice and should be a lot of fun to paint. The photos portrayed here are an in-progress piece and an unpainted casting. Peace is now casting! Us orders are $32.00 plus $3.00 shipping for 1st class ( priority mail is $5.25) Canadian orders add $5.00 shipping and other non US orders add $10.00 shipping Discounts for orders over 3 ( email for price) for more info or photos ck out my blog at http://www.solticeartstudio.blogspot.com or email me for any questions at: becky@solticeart.com By News Bot, on February 12th, 2010 in Breyer | Spot on is a lovely Appaloosa mare and is the 43rd edition of the Connoisseur line.
