Presentation set progress

Yesterday I worked on a new presentation set in black and white. It has a nice zigzag pattern and it's three-tiered! The set features red, yellow and turqoise details, and will likely be for sale once I finish it.

After this first photo it occured to me that photographing a black and white set against a black background was not a great idea...hehe

The model showing the tack is a Peter Stone Arabian that came in the mail a week ago. He's so pretty!

The tassels need some taming still, but after going over them with a damp (clean) toothbrush, they sit much nicer already.

The collar is fastened behind the horse's neck with two longer ties that feature some special tassels. On each side, there are two ropes that drape down for a more dramatic effect. All ropes were twisted, not braided for a more authentic look.

I'm off sculpting the cowries that go on this collar, and making a matching halter of course! :)
