Try try again!
I’ve been fighting with making an english saddle. I got to the point to where I didn’t want to waste any more supplies or crush my ego.
So I made a bridle for my Phoenix. I sliced my lace to be much thinner than usual. I’m not sure if I will continue this practice with other bridles. I feel like it’s so flimsy. But I *pretty much* finished a project(just needs keepers) and I feel like my ego’s back!
Between homework and regular arts stuff, my week with model horses was very limited.
For a field trip, the AP and Pre-AP Art students went to Messiah College to have a critique of some of our artwork and check out the classes. Sorry about the cell phone pictures throughout the post!
The sculpting area was awesome. Here’s a part of it.
Some of the college artwork in the room.
The gang.
The idea was thought up during the ACSI Competition during a seminar a couple of weeks ago. One of the art professors gave the idea for the AP and Pre AP students to visit for a half day. I showed my saddle for the competition. It received an excellant.
There were tons of awesome pieces of artwork all by students ranging from 9th to 12th grade.
This is what I have been working on the past couple of days.
It’s my first ever commission! Since it is my first and I want to make it look nice, the bridle has been fighting me tooth and nail the whole time.
Here are the laced reins, which I just realized are going the wrong way. Oh bridle, we’re so close to being done, yet we’re still so far. :)
A local church in my area had a book sale today.
Two of the books were horse related. This is my favorite one.
