A New Rubber Nedz is in the Works

I find Donna Chaney's Rubber Nedz horses charming as well as beautiful. Several years ago I contacted Donna about making me one as a circus pony in bay with orange plumes. Donna did not disappoint.
 Done on her Tagus mold, and accented with Swarovski crystals,
 I think he is beautiful.

After I had let Donna know that he had arrived and how happy I was with him, she gave me some exciting news.

Dear Lynn, l am so  pleased that you are happy with him :)
Later in the year l hope to produce a Rearing Andalusian RubberNed 
circus horse :) He is going to be very handsome :).......he is all 
finished and ready to make the moulds, but it will take a while to get 
him into production. Have a very Happy New Year, Donna.


Another Donna Chaney Rubber Nedz circus pony?? I signed up for one right away! This week I got an email from Donna updating me on the process of my next Rubber Nedz.

Dear Lynn, l hope to have him in progress just before Christmas. l just wanted to check you still want him, before we start painting him :) lf you can send a picture of the one we have done already, that would be very useful, Donna.

I quickly sent her the photos of both sides of my first Rubber Nedz as she had requested plus a close up of his face.

Thank you for the picture :) He is a pretty boy :) and the next one should be very pretty too! l’ll be in touch, Donna.

But then a thought hit me and I suddenly connected a couple of dots. At the Artisans' Gallery at this year's BreyerFest, Donna had had a large, traditional sized rearing circus horse on display. Was that what I had committed to? And not a smaller piece like the one I already had?

Quickly I reviewed my email correspondence with Donna and looked up the mold she had said that my next piece would be done on.

Lucky me - it was! I had misunderstood the scale of the piece I'd ordered, but that was not Donna's fault. Besides, I much prefer traditional sized models. I am excited as I will be getting even more than I anticipated.
