Oh boy time flies!In updating a few things on the website, I can't believe how long it's been since the last update on this page! I'd request a clone to help out with getting everything done, but I wouldn't want to have to argue with myself either!
To highlight a few newsworthy items:
VICTRIX, a Thoroughbred mare sculpture cast in resin by Carol Williams.
As with the Valor (noted below) she's available in a hair prep version. Please check our Resin Availability page to see what's currently in stock. If what you want isn't there, just email Gary to reserve a copy and you'll be notified regarding payment when your copy is ready to ship.
We've added a couple sizes of Jump Rings: some tiny tiny ones a bit smaller than the JR2's, and new JR8's that are sized between JR7 and JR9.
I should be able to post a few more news items here yet shortly.

New Brochures and a New Resin-Cast SculptureIntroducing VALOR, a Thoroughbred Stallion resin by Carol Williams.
The initial "release" is what we're referring to a "Hair Prep" version model-- he features no mane and tail (although your choice of loose or braided tail is included). This version is limited to two mold runs only. The full version, which will be outfitted with a loose mane and tail is forthcoming in late 2006 or early 2007. Taking orders now!
See the New ValorHP
More information on the change to two mold runs . . .
In addition, Carol has compiled 6 related tutorials in PDF format that explain and illustrate how to attach the tails, sculpt your own mane and hair a model with mohair. Don't miss adding these how-to articles to your reference library!

Whatever happened to the Tooling & Carving Book?
Due to a lot of things that need to be done here, and not enough time and energy to get to them all, this book once again has been put on the back burner. It is however, getting higher up on the list of things to be tackled...
Till it is done and we have further information, there simply isn't much else to say! We'll get to it just as soon as we can... and yes, we are catching up on a number of things...
Thanks for your patience!

Changes in Mohair Availability
Due to a variety of circumstances, we will no longer be able to guarantee availability of the various hand-dyed mohair colors. Future production is likely to be sporadic at best over the next several months. We will continue to make available mohair in Black, White, Mixed Light Grey and Honey, as well as the Alpaca (in black and white color) and Icelandic Grey Mohair.
Hand-dyed mohair is not being discontinued, we just will have limited supplies and colors for awhile.
Check out the Mohair page for current availability.
New Products in the WorksWe've also been working on getting some new products into production. We've got a lot of ideas, and we'd also like to hear any new ideas you may have as well. Drop us a note in our Suggestion Box
