It is Stablemate Swap time again and I have created these two lil guys:
I really have to start listing some things to get them out of the way. I have a lovely Blue and Ben medallion that need to go. I have no room and with a toddler and four cats, it is just a matter of time before something happens to them. I am hoping to get them listed this Sunday, 99 cents and no reserve. I have a few Breyers that need to go too. I just am not that into them any more. I kind of bought them when I first got back into collecting and they just aren't my cuppa. Again, Ebay to the rescue.
I have a lovely, and I mean lovely, resin coming from Lynn Fraley. Sadie Shoo Fly. I cannot wait to get started on her. The minute she hits the house she is getting worked on. I have the perfect reference picked out and everything. I am hoping this is my first serious sales piece. We'll see how it goes. I may end up keeping her.
The market for sales isn't the greatest but I am hoping with the holidays coming up, it will pick up a bit. An amazing horse just sold for over 17K. Now, I'll never reach that caliber but I'd be happy, honestly, to get 50 bucks for a stablemate I painted. I just like doing it. Actually, I feel weird about pricing my work. They say price high and come down. I don't know. We'll see.
On a non-horse note, it is October and the leaves are just starting to turn. I really do love this time of year. The orange pumpkins, the crisp evenings, that smell of burning leaves that floats through the air. Hayrides and scary ghosts, candles. I love it! The holidays are coming up quick and this year I aim to be prepared. I have a great start on my Christmas shopping already. We are all cutting way back, as times just seem to be getting tougher. Besides, I don't really need that much. I have an awesome family and my ponies to paint. That is all I really need.
Until next time (which will be soon, promise!)
