A hobbit birthday



Today is my birthday, and true to the Hobbit custom of giving gifts to others on your birthday, I thought it would be fun to do a giveaway.

So here is the idea. I will be giving away the first realistically glazed "Inspire" trading card, and I'm going to let the winner pick the color. So if you'd like to enter, you need to either send an email (the address is on the website) or you can post here in the comments section. What I need is your name and the color you'd pick if you were selected. Your color choice will need to be pretty general, like "dark dapple grey" or "bay tobiano", but beyond that I'm open to most anything. Late Christmas day I'll randomly draw the winner.

Best luck to all who enter, and may everyone have a holiday season filled with friends and family!

[Edit: My email has a rather quirky spamblocker, so don't worry if you get the message that your entry has been blocked. I've been checking the filter and moving anything over, so it won't get lost!]

  2. I don't usually like the super light colors but I think he'd look beautiful in Perlino.

  3. I have been following your blog for almost a year now! I am just amazed at at all of the wonderful art that comes from members of the model horse "community". Very inspiring!

    Happy birthday!
    Merry Christmas!

    A light golden bay would be nice! With a green background! LOL

  4. Happy birthday, Lesli!

    I tried emailing you but your spamblocker trapped my email, and then it wouldn't let me fill out a form :-(

    Anyway, I love this design and would love to be included in your giveaway chance. How about a deep golden palomino?

  12. I'd love to see him in a dapple bay, maybe with some sabino or overo markings...yummy!

    Happy Birthday!

  13. Well, of course I would choose roan, since the trading card is head-and-neck and don't we all go a bit "gah" over that dark head with the grizzled neck and darker mane? Such a luscious combination! Merry Christmas!

  29. Merry Christmas, and Happy Birthday! What a fun idea!

    I think it would look handsome as a reddish chestnut with a slightly darker mane. I've enjoyed watching this piece take shape and turn from work-in-progress to magic!

    Best wishes,
