BreyerFest Thursday

Yesterday was the unofficial first day of BreyerFest, and for all us sitting at home, the FOMO is real. Thank you to everyone who has posted photos from Lexington, and especially Nancy Kindraka for this wonderful firsthand report of all the Thursday happenings!

BreyerFest Thursday

by Nancy Kindraka

Up bright and early, ready for the show! And this was the last time my hair was fully down. Stupid humidity.

I spent most of today volunteering at the Resin Renaissance show. 

It went great, except for the fact that the AC was unable to cool the room. It was hot.

Robbie and I managed the raffle. There were a lot of nifty items.

Working with Robbie was great.

There were eleven of these Poet micros in the raffle, each painted by a different artist.

I tried to win these fun pouches but alas, I did not.

The show took up most of the day. I found it to be quite enjoyable to observe the show without having to stress about showing my own models.

Afterwards, I changed clothes and headed to the Griffin Gate for Stone's welcome party. They ran shuttles between the two hotels, which was marvelous!

Riding in style!

The welcome party was nice, and I enjoyed everyone's pirate and nautical themed costumes for the costume contest.

I bought one of Shauna's poop pucks at Stone's marketplace. I love everything about it. (It's too much to explain. Ask me in person.)

Then it was back to the Clarion for some room shopping.

My shopping list is very short this year, and I'm not having much luck. Still, I really enjoy the entire Clarion experience.

Finally, I wandered the Artisan's Gallery. This piece is a fantasy entry for the Best Customs Contest. It's really unique and impactful.

I enjoyed this glow up of Smoky...

and this performance entry.

This was my favorite: A glow up of Patch, on the Rugged Lark mold. It's so good!

Larkie is a favorite of mine, but he's a very wonky mold and a perfect candidate for the Glow Ups category. He looks fantastic! The original is in the box.

A few weeks ago, the artist, Laura Skillern Sailer, posted some hints as to which model she had used for the glow up. I was the first to guess it correctly, and today I claimed my prize. It was thhe perfect ending to the first day at BreyerFest!

Thank you so much for sharing your day with us, Nancy! I hope you enjoy those chips, and I look forward to your Friday update!
