#breyer horse

Invoking my childhood love of My Little Ponies and Fashion Star Fillies (and my later goth sensibilities) with this one! Vespera is Breyer’s Little Bits/Paddock Pals Arabian made over into a “black rainbow” unicorn. Her black coat has subtle overlays of some of the colors found in her mane and tail (made from hand-dyed wool roving.) Pretty pleased with the result! She’s available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1232129917/vespera-custom-rrh-black-rainbow-unicorn

This is one of those customs I’ve been daydreaming about creating for months, and she’s finally come to fruition! Calendula is Breyer’s Stablemate Seabiscuit made over into a black pinto paint horse mare. She’s got a mohair mane and tail, and for all her small size she’s really quite striking. She is available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1221731074/calendula-custom-black-pinto-breyer

It’s Toy Time Tuesday!
With…Breyer Wedgewood 2020 horses!
A wedgewood has appeared here before, but it wasn’t these 2. Breyer seems to like the style/colors of this substance. Wedgewood is the name of a ceramic/porcelain china type fine material usually used to make items like powder boxes, trinket boxes, mini plates, jars & etc. It is characterized by raised white designs on very matte backgrounds. It’s most common color is the blue you see here (as the material is naturally blue) but it can also be rarely gray or black. 
As wedgewood is blue…so then these horses are fantasy. The rearing up one is Statue of Liberty, and the standing one is Wedgewood Stud. Statue is quite lovely, with wonderful curling fantasy designs, interesting texture in the blue and great swirling hair. The pose is exciting and the fantasy wedgewood element is used to great effect. Poor Stud…well he’s just standing there with sort of wrinkly tail, small mane and no texturing for his blue. The spots pattern and lower leg fade is nice in blue and white but compared to the one above he is not as exciting. 
These are likely to both be Traditional size, and so were likely fairly costly upon release in 2020. These are Breyer’s actual photos, I don’t own either one…but would own Liberty if the chance arrived. (Which it won’t, all these do is go up in value) These are nice and interesting to see, also to get people curious about old china once more.
