and a tail extension.
Ok, prepping the work station kept my mind occupied for less than half a day. LOL I am however, still enticed by the Tennyson poems this week. I just love the way he writes. It's a lovely escape.
Tired or not I can't seem to stay in a tired foul mood for long. So back to work I go. I believe I have come to somewhat of a finish on the Mini Scarlett. Appaloosa patterns have always enticed me and it's very easy to get lost in their hair patterns. Once the owner of this little gal asked for her to have some hair extensions I decided to take a break from hairing and just let my eyes rest. Although I matched the tail nicely I never do feel like I can execute the "style' of the original artist spot on. It's close and lovely, but each sculptor's hand is different. No matter how hard one tries to copy the original there is just something missing. I think it's just the artist's spirit. You can never recreate that.
I'll be setting up a table at the local Christmas/craft fair this coming weekend and have a bit of pottery stock left over to sell from last year. I also decided to rid my stock room of many of the porcelain pieces I had on hand for china painting commissions. I've decided to explore roses as much as I can on these pieces as roses truly frustrate me. I figure that at some point I'll just paint so many of them it will just click fully. I think I'm 1000 roses left to getting it. LOL These are just a few of those pieces being produced this week for the sale Saturday and Sunday.
I guess in the spirit of "Cyber Monday" I should also mention that I have a few horses for sale. Stuff from my collection and a few things that just maybe didn't get enough "air" time and were missed. I'll try to post them tomorrow.

"Over the dark world flies the wind
And clatters in the sapless trees,
From cloud to cloud thro' darkness blind
Quick stars scud o'er the sounding seas:
I look: the showery skirts unbind:
Mars by the lonely Pleiades
Burns overhead: with brows declined
I muse- I wander from my peace,
And still divide the rapid mind
This way and that in search of ease."
~Alfred Lord Tennyson
