Painted Ponies...Cows....Creamers....Hearts...Pigs....Frog s
We should do one.
Here's the idea: We all get the same *exact* horse model -- those plastic hobby models we played with as kids (remember those?). Then you decorate it any way you want, using any media you choose....Paint, beads, collage, polyclay, fabric, PMC (if you won the lottery), etc. I can go look up the various websites for the cities who've had this competition, and the visions of creativity there would be an amazing inspiration. San Francisco did hearts, for instance, and Chicago did cows (I think it was Chicago). St. Louis did a figure of a person. Example: Ponies http://www.gopaintedponies.com/ It would be a fabulous exploration -- of others' art, and our own! What do you think? ~ Sooz |

I think great minds think alike.
Now, breyer models are the absolute most realistic horse model I have seen. They are to nice for me to consider altering. To expensive too. What about finding something that hasnt been done to death already? Nothing comes to mind but Im sure somewhere in rcb land there is an idea brewing.

Yeah, something plastic and not-too-precious or expensive. And
something that has lots of copies (not OOAKs), so we can all have one to do. (I loved the horse idea, if anyone wants to do that in addition.) ~~~Now, breyer models are the absolute most realistic horse model I have seen. They are to nice for me to consider altering.

Jen's Not-So-Naked Mole Rat (all done up in peyote stitch, I believe) appeared in Bead & Button -- oooh, way long ago. Of course, she has the original perched on a shelf in her shop along with all the folkcats.

Naked Mole Rats!
You know, Archie McPhee has REALLY cheap-o things, from nuns to lizards. We could look there for bases to decorate. |

Hens? Not rubber chickens? (The rubber chickens are too big, and too
wrinkly, of course) I love hens! And it being Easter time soon, I bet we could find something. ~~~My vote is for chickens. I do love chickens. |
