Happy Valentine's Day!



In honor of Valentine's Day, I thought it would be fun to give away one of the new "Summer Storm" plaques. Now if I had been planning ahead properly, I would have glazed one in some holiday-appropriate color like red or pink. (Though I must admit that pink is a little too "My Little Pony" for my tastes - no offense, Addi!)

Anyway, this guy is a pretty soft teal color. He's one of the first tests I pulled from the mold, so his detail is nice and crisp.

What I'll do is draw a winner from the names that appear in the comments. So if you'd like to be entered, just add your name to the comments, and I'll randomly pick from the entries.

  17. Lesli,
    In any color, this plaque will be gorgeous!! Although, Teal is much better than red or pink in my book.

  76. He looks like he's thinking about which of the conversation hearts to eat. Great color!

  77. Skye - if you thought he was looking to eat one or two, you should have seen Emma while I was taking the picture. At least, I hope what she was thinking about tasting was the candies and not the plaque!

    Donna - I have done seminars in the past, but they were mostly on the subject of horse color. I'd love the opportunity, though. I think the model horse community needs more workshop type events!

    Bonnie - I hugged my dog, but Sprinkles had to do without because it was just too cold to be outside. I'm so ready for spring!

    And thank you everyone who complimented the plaque and the Spinnies, and who wished me well. It made a great V-day even better! I am blessed to have such good friends and customers!
