Newly Glazed Union Jack China (sold)
January 2018 I am thrilled to offer this lovely new Union Jack china model for sale. Finished to a delicate creamy buckskin type colour (foals are so strange with their colours!

A Newly Glazed Union Jack is Glazed (sold)
June 2017 Donna surprised me with a newly glazed Union Jack this week, I had given her free reign to create any new colours and patterns that her glazing ladies wished and they didn't disappoint! This fiery wild Sabino chestnut colt was offered for sale (which is unusual these days, they always get nabbed before I can offer them publicly!) and snatched up within a couple of hours. I'm thrilled that Union Jack is as popular today as ever, he's such a special little guy! You can read more on this model in his blog post here. |

May Madness Live Show
May 2017 I recently attended "May Madness", my nearest Live Show after quite a while without getting out to any events. I wrote a Show Report about the day which saw a deliciously shameful bunch of successes for models that came from my studio! You can read the report and see the photos from the day here. |

Capriole sales are ON HOLD (all guaranteed copies are now sold)
March 2017 Capriole orders were put on hold this month as we reached the guaranteed cast number for the two moulds currently being cast. *Once all 160 copies have been cast, if Barry is happy with the moulds and can get a few more copies from them, then those additional copies will be made available. More info on Capriole can be found on his page here. |
Due to a web host malfunction (grumble...), I've lost all entries from December 2014-2017. I'll rebuild them when I have a chance, I assure you've I've been quite busy since the last entry shown here!

New Pet Portrait - Toby
December 2014 This is Toby, a gorgeous Cocker Spaniel who belonged to a fellow model horse collectors. Toby was taken before his time which was heartbreaking for all who knew him, but I was pleased that I was able to produce his likeness to remind his family what a fun-loving little guy he was. |

New Pet Portrait - Ralph
December 2014 Meet Ralph, a cheeky Parson Russell Terrier; quite a rare breed nowadays, the Parson Russell Terrier was originally used as a hunting dog, bred with longer legs than the more common Jack Russell Terrier so it could run alongside the horses and hounds, yet still fit into the holes to flush out the quarry. I was lucky enough to meet the real Ralph when I delivered his portrait and saw how he loves to sit in his favourite spot next to the AGA. An affectionate soul, he loves a fuss, which of course I was happy to oblige! Ralph's portrait was completed using soft pastels, Conté crayons and pastel pencils on Sennelier La Carte paper in Charcoal. More information on Pet Portraits can be found here... |

Union Jack Takes to the Skies
November 2014 I am currently sculpting a set of wings for use on Union Jack. This is to use up copies of the model that were retained after his edition was cast in 2012. These copies needed a little more clean up than the edition copies, I didn't have time to clean them back then but I do now, so they will be released in kit form including the foal and the two wings, for assembly by the finish-work artist. More information can be found on my Facebook Page here... |

Website Update
July 2014 Recently the various currencies have been moving about quite a bit. This has meant that for the same model, I receive different amount depending on which currency I am paid in. This has mostly meant that the actual amount I receive is lower than it should be so, sadly, I have had to remove the Euro and Dollar prices from my site. I am looking into a live PayPal converter which will tell you exactly how much you'll be paying in your own currency but, until then if you'd like to order in a currency different to £GBP, please contact me. All the prices can now be found on the Sales Page... |

Yes, there will be multiple areas in the new place; a workshop, a stockroom/studio, an office and space in the house to work in the evenings! We can't wait to get in and get unpacked!

Southern Roundup Live
Dancing Daisy had a great show at Southern Roundup Live on the 16th February 2013. My roan copy painted by Mindy Berg won her class and then went on to take the Champion spot in the AR British Native section up against the big guys. My Union Jack painted to an appaloosa by Gail Aspinwall also won his class and then took Reserve Champion in the AR EU division. Yvette Earl, who proxied my models also took her Dancing Daisy painted to a lovely palomino blanket appaloosa. Her Daisy won her class, then won American Breeds Champion up against the big guys, then won ARTIST RESIN CHAMPION!! That's not it though - she then went on to win RESERVE SUPREME CHAMPION!!! The Little One, painted by Lauren Hoeffer also did very well, winning its class and then taking Light Breeds Champion up against the big guys too! You can find more information on each of these models on their pages, links can be found here. |
