Originally published on May 19, 2012 Just about ran out of paint on this fella.  Still pondering on whether to put a medicine totem on the front of the shield.  Probably will as it needs something to bust up that flat surface.  I used horse hair to make the scalp locks that hang off each…

Originally published on May 12, 2012 Here’s what I’m working on at the moment.  This one stands about 15″ tall on the base so he’ll be a real eye catcher when he’s finished.  Still have to add the feathers to the shield and maybe a totem above the horse.  Hopefully, there will be scalp locks hanging from…

Originally published on May 07, 2012 At last!  I thought I would never get this fellas finished.  I think the problem was that it’s been so long since I did a cook scene I’d forgotten just how to do it.   Still, I think he turned out pretty good and I really like the title…

Originally Published on November 29, 2011 With the visitors and the Thanksgiving turkey just a fond memory, I was finally able to set down and finish Lizzie.  I think she turned out pretty well.  Certainly like the new fur texture over the old.  One little trick I tried this time was to put a small…

Originally published in October, 2011 Now, getting this one on the Blog will be a real challenge.  It was originally created back in October,2011 as a Video series consisting a total of 24 videos for a total of 10 hours in length.  Boy, was I dedicated back then.  I will post the photos I have …

Originally Published on October 27, 2011 I thought this one might have to wait till the Dayton show but I wrapped him up this morning so will take him along to the OKC show.  He turned out pretty good.  I had my doubts for a while as I had originally planned on him holding a…

First off…….Believe it or not, putting together these photographic posts takes about 10 times longer than doing a video. So, I have a favor to ask.  Could you pass my Out West Blog on to your friends or any other Face Book groups or sites you might think would be interested?  There’s a lot of…
