Peg set progress!

Red piping added, panels added, really coming along now :) 

Next will be billets, then the rear skirting.

I have some cleaning up to do, but seat is made!

Black piping added as a detail. Slightly satirical since Horseisle has black outlines on the tack, but also hides a lot of things

Chynara Madinkulova (long hair) and Aida Akmatova (bun) compete in the “Traditional Archery” category at the World Nomad games in Kyrgyzstan, which concluded last week.

Said games also include eagle hunting, horseback wrestling, and setting people on fire. Also this game where you chuck javelins at people to knock them off their horse.

Clearly the Olympics needs to step it up.

I’m sorry did you say setting people on fire?

[rejectedprincesses]

Yes. Yes I did.

It’s called Oert Jalymdagan Chabandes. It’s on a stamp.

We live in a weird, wonderful world, Tumblr.

Peg bridle in progress! Not shown: I cut a cheek piece when skiving, took the crown instead.

I spy a NaMoPaiMo horse on my bench

seat now has a slanted edge, albeit crude, it’ll do for now

Peg saddle, part epoxy and part brass sheeting, now part foam

The racing bridle as my header may be for sale, custom made for a Victrix model, buyer is still deciding. Shadow roll is made from plus wool felt, all leather from Amazing Lace leather in Australia, buckles from Rio Rondo

Howdy!

I’ll be posting the progress photos and ramblings that aren’t quite Facebook notification worthy, but give a look into the breadth of my creative process. Ads will be going on here before Facebook, and feel free to inbox me requests of what you’d like to see!
