After deciding that Maddie needed a foal, I created Caleb. He is made from plastic grocery bags, masking tape, and paper mache clay. For his mane and tail, I clipped some of the hair from Maddie’s tail to use, which was made by using a synthetic pony tail piece. I know, how appropriate right ?! I cut the hair in short pieces and secured them between two pieces of masking tape, and then plastered over the tape. For his color, I wanted him to share Maddie’s coloring, but to stand out without all the spots decided to give him white lower legs and a blaze. He is so cute!!
Wow!! These sculptures took a lot of talent and time. I am impressed by everything. The size is great. I wish I had the room for such lovely horses. Keep up the good work. It is amazing!
I agree. It is a great addition to your collection! Keep Leroy in line. Young colts can be feisty! I love your animals. He does have a nice stance. We walk by a young colt every evening, and this feels very appropriate. Thanks for the brightness in every work.
Thanks Rex. Caleb is so cute and just the perfect size for Maddie. Now, Leroy on the other hand, is not amused.
Very nice done! I also love the mane. It came out really nice. I’m thinking about adopting your method for one of the projects i’m working on 🙂
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Isis. I wanted to give Caleb that new born foal look with the spiky mane and awkward legs. He is one of my favorite paper mache clay projects.
Nice Connie! You’ve captured the awkward new colt stance. They look great together!
Thanks Eileen. I really like how he turned out. He’s just the right size for Maddie, plus it was fun making his legs with a different pose. Plus, it didn’t matter if they were the same height as we know how wobbly foals can be.
He’s adorable! He looks like he wants to dance and play!
Thanks Barb. Yep, I can imagine him leaping around Maddie, testing out his legs! I know all of our family and friends will enjoy them in the “guest barn room”.
