Leica in the picture

Finally I got the chance to make some pics of Leica (she is my surrogate horse or whatever one might call it).
She was in a good mood, but very dirty to start with. Perhaps she makes herself so dirty on purpose, cause she loves being brushed.

The first one, don't mind the sway back, after all she is 32....


Followed by a nice portrait


The Arabian style chestcollar


And the awful, terrible and horrible Arabian halter.
Frankly it doesn't match the chestcollar at all, and some sizes are incorrect. So I'll have to change the halter into another better matching design that does fit.


See ya,

Atlantic puffin Fratercula arctica

This is the first drawing I made on my new drawing tablet (Wacom, Grafire4) I love the tablet for sure, and I am hoping my new Laptop will arrive very soon as well (Before I go to England would be handy *G*)

Arabian halter set, magnum psyche style

I have been working on this arabian halter set for over 3 weeks now, and it is finally almost finished.
I made a quick sketch so you know how it is supposed to be worn by a horse.



I have been making arabian/ bedouin/ egyptian style halters for a few years now, but this is the first one that is complete with halter and breastplate (I still have to ake the leadrope).

Portret of an Akita Inu and a dashhound

And last but not least a nice furry sausage on legs

And yet again

Ok, I wasn´t completely satisfied with the logo. So I made a complete new one yet again. And this one does have more colour *G*

Someone is being annoying!!!!!!!

Someone is about to have a serious headache.
That is, if I ever find out who is posting those annoying, sweet messages with the link to all sorts of rubbish, he or she will suffer.
Why is it that people need to do that? The same goes for my hotmail inbox. Everyday it is stuffed with all those ads, I don't need them, I don't even read them, who does anyway.

Can't they just get a life?

New Logo

It is time for changes, both big and small.
Just a small one is the new logo I made.

SW

Northern Inuit in pencil

Hi,

Sometimes I can get a lot of inspiration out of a special photo. Like this one, a howling Northern Inuit. I love the way it turned out.
I scanned it, so it is somewhat different from the original one.

I won't say a word

I am back !!!

Hi everyone,

Today is THE day, It's Graduation day.
After today I'll be BSc J. van Dalen :)
And for those who don't know it yet, I'll be going to do a master course in England. Which I am really looking forward to. And I'm sure I will be visiting Scotland as well *G*

See ya,

SW

Ow and I love flying sheep *G*

Am I still alive.......?

Well yes, but for the time being I will not be posting much. The final weeks of my graduation project have started and as can be quessed, I have a huge amount of stuff to do.
But for whom wants a sandmartin cliff or a bathouse in the backyard, I'm surtainly the one to give the info *G*

Till later...............

Dragon Ducks and Sleeping Dogs

Hi,

I think the pictures say enough *G* so enjoy.

Cat skull

A few weeks ago I found a very nice looking cat skull next to my horse's water bucket. I boiled it for many hours and this is the result.

Good news on Sushi

Yesterday we gave her the last of the antibiotics. Her belly is now almost fully healed and so there is reason to PARTY. Doughnut is in the same mood, but discovered the hard way Sushi isn't in for mating any time soon (she is neutered any way). Doughnut now has a bloody nose and a damaged ego *G*.

SW

Sushi wouldn't be Sushi if.....

she didn't care about being anesthetized twice in one week :/

How it got to be this way?

Well, she wouldn't be Sushi either if she didn't remove some of the stiched and was planning on removing them ALL. Which is not a good thing, if you know what I mean.
So we brought her back to the vet and they stiched her up yet again. I thought she was not going to make it, but back home she first ate as much lettace as she could and than she bit my mom very hard :/
At the vet practice they said she is a fighter *G* In more than one way for sure.
She has to get antibiotics twice a day and is getting more difficult to handle every second.
But I will not complain, I'm just glad she is so determined about staying alive.

SW

Bad news yet again....

Unfortunately all four baby guinea pigs did not survive. Sushi was rushed to the vet Thursday morning. She was unable to deliver the little ones herself so the vet had to help. The little ones proved to be huge except for the little Yumi. Luckily Sushi is doing great now, she eats like never before and already bit me several times *G*

My mom brought all 4 babies back home, they are all perfect little creatures and it is really a pity they didn't get to live.

In order of birth there names are, Yumi, Sumo, Kuki and Suki.

Bont, You will be missed

Friday morning my best friend had to put her most beloved Shetland Pony down. After being sick for a long time and already having a damaged liver, there was no other way then to let the horse and her unborn foal go to the everlasting pastures. Where no doubt many other horses will be waiting for her. Luckily she lives on through her progency, Twinkle Star.

Best to you G

Bont, Know you will be missed.

Busy, busy and busy

Well finely I have some time to type a message without stressing. On the 27th of April we are organizing a workshop about bats and sand martins. And the 27th is soon, very soon.....

Sushi still keeps the little ones inside, or the little ones don´t want to come out. Maybe they're waiting for Easter. Easter guinea pigs would be fine by me *G*. I already thought up some names:
Sumo
Kuki
Saki/Suki (I don't know yet)
Yumi (which means beauty in Japanese)

Ow and I can't wait to see some pics of the baby Yotes that will arrive at Wolf Park the 16th.

Greetings,

A beautiful flower

a blue Anemone (Anemone apennina), thought it looks more purple than blue to me.........

Have a nice day :)

Still no baby guinea pigs

Sushi looks to be about to explode, but still she hasn't given birth. I'm not worrying yet, as she is still eating and running :/ around. But she no longer looks like a pear but more like a handgranade *g*
