Laughing Elk Studio

That moment you realize you have dapples, because your artist finally made your finish work a priority! 😜

Traditional-sized Porthos sculpted by in progress. He's a sales piece, and will be available for offers sometime in May!

Also ... I'm opening up six commission slots this summer! If you have a nekkid resin or a Breyer/Stone that you'd love to see in a different color, please fill out the form featured on my profile! (Or just send me a message and I'll send the form link to you.)

Whirlwind in grulla is everything I thought he'd be.

It took a few days (we had a small incident with a cat 🐈), but I did finally manage to get Whirly's pictures taken. I'm still having trouble with my camera (hence the fuzz in some of the pictures), but I'm getting less rusty by the day.

And most importantly ... painting and photographing is just as much fun - if not more - than it was before. That's what really matters!

He'll be up for offers on Model Horse Connection in the next few days. Stay tuned!

Lil' Stormy in progress, just lording over the neighborhood while his sealant dries. He doesn't care that he's only five inches tall 😉

Future sales piece - full pictures coming by the end of the week (hopefully!)

Model horse friends, I know some of you have been waiting to hear updates on my book projects, so here goes! In short, the wait is over - Portlock's Kickstarter just launched! If you want to back it, the link is in the comments. 😃

I've had a few questions about what you get in return for pledging to the Kickstarter. The answer is: the books! 😃 Kickstarter is a retail platform, so you will get tangible goods for your money (eBooks, paperbacks, hardcovers, stickers, bookmarks, etc.)
If you don't want to touch Kickstarter with a ten-foot pole but still want to buy the books (and have a chance at winning the Alaska Dream Vacation 😍) you can order or pre-order books directly from my website as well!

Thank you all so much for your love and support. I've managed to write and publish a trilogy in three years, (and still paint model horses in my small amount of downtime) WHILE still being Mom to my two little boys. At first glance, that makes me look like a freaking superhero. But what it ACTUALLY is, is a reflection on how amazing you, my support network, all are. THANK YOU!! I've LOVED this project, but I'm also excited to get back into the studio soon ...

(And once again ... to anyone who's seeing this, I'd be forever grateful if you'd hit that 'like' button so that Facebook doesn't suppress this post.)
