NaMoPaiMo horse: COMPLETE!
Feb. 29th, 2024 09:40 pmI'll make this post *a little* less pic-heavy.
( The remaining progress shots (3 pics): )
Yesterday night, I finished the last part: glossing the peacock part of the design. :) I used Liquitex varnish. We bought a gloss medium that was our plan to try and out and see if it was glossier... but then the tub says in all caps NOT to use it as a topcoat. I couldn't find a reason WHY it's not suitable for a topcoat, but didn't want to risk it, ha. (A different gloss medium by the same company does not have that warning on it, so it remains a bit of a mystery.)

Show side.

Off side.

Tail angle.
I'm pretty happy with him! I doubt he'll be a show piece, though maybe I'll give him a try. At some point I'll dig "Tiffany" (my project from a couple years ago) out of her storage box and see how the stained glass ponies look together. :) Leaning toward naming him "Longfeather."
