Arabian Halters- GC Version

My first effort with beaded halters paid off. By marketing to Grand Champion collectors, I was able to bypass the difficult to handle Breyer and resin buyers, who expect top-notch LSQ work, something I'm not even close to being able to create. GC lovers want fun and pretty, and that I can do.

My first halter I made for myself was asked about, and that turned into a family set!

The mare's was the original. I had created it to fit on the Arabian pose mare, but luckily the browband was adjustable, and it easily adapted to the classic mare's head.

The stallion's head is a bit wider, so his was custom made to fit his broad face. Also, the star piece I used had an extra loop at the bottom, so I strung a set of beads between it and the side rings.

It will look great sitting on a shelf, as it's much too delicate for too much movement. The rhinestones are supposed to be self-adhesive, but they don't stick very well through on-again off-again motions. I didn't want to use any ribbon glue, in case it stiffened the breastcollar and made it not flexible.

Either way, it turned out very cute!
