More vintage goodness

Without a doubt, the most difficult part of yesterday's post was deciding which pictures to use.  The custom division was a wealth of vintage custom beauties and for each photo selected, there were easily two or three more that were equally worthy.  Here are a few that just barely missed the cut.

Once again, I'm starting with a Lynn Fraley model.  I just love her old customs!

This colorful guy was created by the late Judy Renee Pope.

There's no mistaking Diane Capwell's work, particularly when the model in question is a  spotty mule!

Although I'm not generally a Big Ben fan, I just love this piece by Lisa Rivera.

And the Froelichs!  Oh, there were so many Froelichs at this show!

I especially like this draft mare...

and her foal.

Proof that Diane Capwell isn't the only one who knows how to make a spotty mule!

Yet another one of Julie's beauties--the artists of yesteryear were as prolific as they were talented!

This next model is an older piece by my friend Tiffany Purdy.  Unlike many of the artists featured in this post, Tiff is still creating amazing drastic customs.

 Jeanine Hartrampf created this cute baby.

Last but certainly not least, is this lovely Adios custom owned and customized by Marie Spinella Phillips.

Again, thanks to Laura, Peg, Marie and all the wonderful ladies who of MEPSA for allowing me to use their photos here.  It's so wonderful to see these beautiful older pieces!
