Ever wonder what happened to my earless stablemates? Well, they've been setting around waiting patiently for me to get up off of my arse and figure something out. At first, I was going to try Laura Skillern's nifty method, but the tutorial was for traditional ears and the idea of trying some so much smaller was daunting to say the least. (I really dislike making ears) Then I decided to just eighty-six that idea and to make them out of superglue and baking soda. I'd planned on the "Blob Approach..." You know, just making an ear-sized blob and whitlin' that sucker down with my trusty carbide scrapers and jewelers files. Wellllll..... I eighty-sixed that one, too. So, back to the first method from Laura. And here's the result:

So I'm still procrastinating attaching them; hopefully I'll attempt that today. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't wind up with critters that look like the bastard children of bunnies.
On a different note, here is the Stone Chips Andalusian that was also purchased prepped and primed.
Now I might be prejudiced, but I think this critter's awesome. His body color ranges from wheat gold to black, with russets, caramels and yellows used. He's got lots of bells and whistles and is for sale in my Webshots Album (as of today, I have been unable to upload photos to Webshots, but I'll keep trying so check back often). I also have a resin rider for uber-cheap and a pretty nifty hunter/jumper jump in Traditional size (which also has fallen victim to the ailments of Webshots). Stay tuned... I may have ears with models attached soon.
