Steve Panner Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Steve, it is exquisite. What did you use for the mane and tail; fur or viscose or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I would have LOVED to have one like this for myself when I was little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Panner Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks everyone! Holly, it is Gotland wool, a lot thicker than the wool I use on the furred critters, but it has an unbelievable shine to it. It comes from these sheep: http://www.thefiberofmybeing.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/gotland-sheep-courtesy-of-the-British-Gotland-Sheep-Society.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 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.

havanaholly Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It certainly "makes" that little rocking horse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I find myself thinking of adding a child's room to the Beacon Hill, something I'd not considered before seeing this beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Congrats on the sale! Beautiful work! :woohoo: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Panner Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 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!

L Swearengin Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I guess it's time to make another one Steve, just for Kathie! I am so happy you got a good price for it. You are the best, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
