She's here!!
.
Thanks to my wonderful new vacuum casting equipment, I've been able to pull the full edition of Pickle V2 from the mold myself. Here are a few photos of the only A1 cold-cast metal copy I got before the mold broke (I got 1 Alu + 1 bronze second too). I hope you will find her as pretty as the V1 model.
Pickle V2 is the second version of the mini-bust sculpture, this version has a small three-point stand built from the mane that raises her slightly (handy for those dangly Arabian tack tassels!) and allows her to stand a little more securely than the first version (see here for images of both versions). Pickle is a small-trad scale mini bust, a full three-dimentional sculpture of a generic Arabian breed. I sculpted her as a mare but some people see a gelding, without any "bits" this model could happily be either.

Pickle V2 is NOT AVAILABLE to order just yet, I've hit sales burn-out from the overwhelming sales from Fly Fishing (over 100 and counting), so am waiting until I return from my holiday at the end of the month before announcing her open for orders.
I am, however, accepting emails of interest. I don't have the mental energy to arrange all orders just yet, but if you would like to drop me an email letting me know you're interested, I will keep a record of all these emails as a "reservation list" which I will deal with on my return around 1st Sep. (I'll confirm all such emails)
Alternatively, leave a comment! I always love to hear critique and comments on my sculptures/casts, I only ask that you leave your first name or nickname on the comment (if commenting anonymously), so I have an idea of who's visiting.
I do apologise for holding off the release of this model, but I hope that my need to restore some peace and order in my mind isn't too selfish. Hopefully I'll be much more on-the-ball in September, when the official release will take place.

Pickle V2 is a run of 28, with 17 seconds (the eqmt took a bit of getting used to!) and 3 family gifts. A couple of the seconds have glitter/mica added but didn't turn out that amazing, hence being seconds. All unpainted resin copies are cast with Smooth-On white resin.
.
Pickle V2 will be priced at $50 / £25
Seconds will be priced at $30-$45 / £15-£22
(imperfections range from small eartip bubbles to larger bubbles on muzzle that require a little resculpting)
I will be updating my website with the issue information shortly (another reason for holding back the release.
