No exaggeration--I spent most of Wednesday and Thursday working on Dagmar's Portuguese saddle. Even when I wasn't actually sitting in my studio, my mind was consumed with thoughts about the saddle's construction. I was so obsessed that I actually dreamed about making the cantle!
And then... Life happened. The saddle got put aside for a day, then two days, then three. I had completely lost my momentum.
Today I decided it was time to reverse the trend. Even though I really wasn't feeling inspired, I forced myself to work on the little side panels. That went pretty well so I pushed on to the stirrups and stirrup leathers. After that, there was no stopping me. I wasn't going to stop until the saddle and all the attached pieces were finished.
Bottom view.

Hi Dagmar,
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad you're pleased. My email address is braymere @ comcast. net (no spaces). I did drop you a line about a week ago, but I bet I have your old email address as well!
I know - wouldn't that be nice if we could just shrink ourselves down to Breyer-size and ride our plastic ponies? I'd love it!
ReplyDeleteLookin' excellent Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteStunning!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are just so superfantabulous amazing! I've been in a slump lately too, just because of crazy stuff that just keeps cropping up. I get started, then life interrupts, then started again... *sigh* But your set is started and on the table ;).
ReplyDeleteWow, it is really turning out nice. I am catching up a few posts and think it looks awesome. I too want to sit in it (XXL please, lol).
ReplyDeleteHope your kiddo is doing ok.
