I made a tiny sculpture of a Norwegian Fjord mare with Milliput and resin // #shorts #modelhorses

A year ago today, I completed my first sculpture of a horse, a Norwegian Fjord mare small enough to fit in your hand. I sculpted her in Milliput over a wire and foil armature in 1:28 scale, then later made a mold, poured the resin and painted the copy. The whole adventure took me over a year to complete. I hope to have one painted in every Fjord color ????
