Small is much more beautiful

Returning to the scene of the sculptured horse today, I realise that very small pieces of netting coated in the resin mix work very much better than big chunks. Now I shall have to rasp or sand down all the sticking-out bits resulting from early attempts.













I am beginning to enjoy this way of working. Now I see the horse in a different way. He is becoming a bit more bulky and I am going to increase his "top line", in horsey parlance. At the moment I have just placed a strip of bubble wrap on his neck to see if it looks better. I definitely think it does, so I will work from that. He is an Andalusian breed of horse, and they have muscular necks.
When they are well trained and ridden, that is.
