Rocking Horse

Probably lots of you saw this horse in the "work in progress" thread or in the gallery, so you are probably sick of it by now, but, since I haven't been working on anything else in the meantime, here it goes:

It is available on eBay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OOAK-Miniature-dollhouse-rocking-horse-1-12-by-Steve-Panner-IGMA-/261614120730?pt=US_Dollhouse_Miniatures&hash=item3ce96aaf1a

There you can see a lot of other pictures, in case you haven't seen enough of it by now :lol:

I truly thank you all for your suggestions in the first thread, if they are not found in the finished product is either because I don't have the skills for it or I'm saving them for future builds. In any case I wanted to say that your advice was heard and greatly appreciated! :)

Steve, you are an artist, this is truly amazing. Such a pretty horse.

Did you ever think about carousel horses? Ever wanted to build one? Not that I am trying to talk you into anything - just throwing out a suggestion...... It doesn't have to be big - four or five horses - small motor and such....

I can also see you building a whole circus - one of these old fashioned ones.... With your animals, a tent.....

Anyways, getting off topic here. Beautiful work, it turned out really great.

Thank you Chris! I can't really build big stuff because of the shipping cost. And to build them for myself... probably my wife would throw me out of the house :LOL:

Thanks Holly!

Kathie, I realize the rocking horse is kind of a niche product. But I could not think of another thing to make, that would combine sculpting and woodworking. And I want them combined, because I love them both and because with the furred animals I feel I've reached the limit of my skill and still I'm far from the top artists in the field. So I'm kinda in a dead spot, lost in the crowd. And I wanted something to stand out, and wood might give me that.

Thank you too Debra! I was a bit nervous, since it had no offers until almost the end of the auction. Was wondering if all that time was for nothing :)

Steve, mine was the first bid on the rocking horse, but I strayed from the auction and missed out at the end. When I made my bid there were several people watching, so I figured there would be a run at the end. The person who won is one lucky duck!
