Cuteness and Hackness

Pretty sure hackness is not a word, but that’s ok. The title of this post flows. All is good. Plus, I do not consider a day over until I go to sleep. Currently it’s going on 2 A.M. But it still isn’t a new day to me! Not until I go to sleep. 🙂
Anyways, today my mom, sister’s friend’s mom and I, went to my mom’s friend’s house and guess what were there? Kittens. Six, fat, wriggly, high pitched meowing three week old kittens.

Sooo cute and soft

After coming home, I did not feel like prepping, so what do I do? Start on another custom.
Today’s victim was an old safari horse, that I’ve had for forever. I envisioned him to have a lowered neck, and to be more performance friendly.

Headless.
I accidentally got a little crazy with the dremel and the poor horse has lost a nice portion of his mouth. The neck needs some more work, but slow and steady wins the race!

Models always lose against pets

When I came home from school today, this was the surprise I got.

Yup, that was the 2011 reserve custom champ at the Breyerfest C/Y show.

Buckbeak may have been able to beat the controversy surrounding him at the show, but he couldn’t win against four paws of kitten-ness. And cute-ness I must add.

The Culprit who was covered in the green scenic stuff

Shockingly, the damage wasn’t too bad. Most of his talons are gone and a huge crack in his front leg, but that’s the worse. He was made out of crayola clay which is not very strong.

What I have noticed about crayola clay, and it may be true about other similar clays, is that is defiantly has a short life span. After about a year or two, the clay begins to crumble. So glad that I now use  Apoxie!
