More of an outside type of artwork though, like others suggested for a barn? or as you say for your shop. wonder how another Fjord would see it? I know Gustav always loved to look at himself in the mirrors at the indoor!! :-) Reena This message is from: lynn mohr [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you, Gail, Carol and Genie. I appreciate you looking at the head and your comments and suggestions. Gail it isn't meant to be fine art, I made it to hang on the side of my workshop to simulate an open window with a fjord looking out, so your only possible use was what it was intended for. It hung on my shop for a year.

It hung on my shop for a year. Pounding this out of sheet metal in pieces and welding together it's next to impossible to get subtle detail, I hoped to give the general features and shapes. It is quite realistic from a distance.

Also...the mane is a bit blocky for my taste. The problem may be that your medium does not allow you to make it more refined. The way it is, I am not sure where I would put it, except for, possibly on the outside of a barn, where it might rust. This is just my taste, but maybe it will be helpful Gail -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of lynn mohr Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 8:18 PM To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: Question, Help Please This message is from: lynn mohr [EMAIL PROTECTED] I mentioned my ebay offering earlier. Could a couple or anyone please sheck this out. I'm interested in what you think about this. Would this type of item be of any interest to other horse owners, in your opinion? any other thoughts you might have as to size etc would be of interest to me. I hammered this out for myself, but thought I would test the waters by putting it up on ebay. To check this out go to ebay and enter this number in the search block (7140494544) or just type fjord horse in the search block. Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me out.

I'm interested in what you think about this. Hi Lynn, Wow, what a project! I think people would be interested; I would order if I build a barn. I like his look better from the side than from the front, so here are some suggestions if you make more. Front view: nose narrower and top of head broader. This would help the ears to be wider set. The proportions seem off and he doesn't have that cute look from the front. Mane: smoother arch at front rather than abrupt bridle path cut. Full, wide forelock (can you do that some way as it adds to the cute factor?) Nuzzle: Paint light tan nose ring at top over darker gray area at bottom of nose, which is characteristic for brown dun Fjords. Try to make eye have a softer look; I don't know how you do that but I know Fjords have that puppy or doe eye look. I hope this helps -- Genie Dethloff and Finne Ann Arbor, Michigan
