NaMoPaiMo day twenty six and BreyerWest Day three

Today was workshop day at BreyerWest. 

Between that...

and...

and the swap meet, I really didn't have time for NaMoPaiMo.

But I do have time for the NaMoPaiMo Champion of the Day announcement. Beth Kingdon's father passed away on February 4, drastically altering the arc of her month. Despite that, she still managed to finish her horse. 

She writes: I've named this horse "Jack" after the saying "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" and also because it was my Dad's name.  Dad, who was my biggest supporter in all things,  passed away on February 4, so this horse is also a tribute to him. Dad worked hard all his life, but when he could, he took time off to do things he enjoyed, and had a lot of fun, too.  He was a talented artist in his own right, and is the reason I got into model horses in the first place.

This guy is not perfect. He's got some rough spots here and there. I wish I'd moved the mane to the left side of his neck... but it is what it is. He was very therapeutic for me to work on, and will have a permanent place in my collection. 

Congratulations and my deepest sympathy, Beth. I love your horse. I am so glad you got him done, and I can't wait to see what all of us do tomorrow. 

And with that, I'm going to bed!
