Thank you very much, Sky! I'm glad you found it funny. And you are very welcome for the imperial eye candy. Should I change my screen name to the Candymaker? Just kidding... I'm stuck with this one... oh well...

Candymaker...Bodice Ripper.... you have many talents.

Hmmm... Bodice Ripper sounds a little violent, out of spirit for our age. But I will interpret it as a sign of appreciating the underlying romantic quality of my art.

Have you forgotten your stint as a 1/6 scale romance novelist?? (Another term for a romance novel is a 'bodice ripper' )

Ha! Never knew they are called that too. It's been so long, I've almost forgotten. Almost. Fireman Chad is supposed to make a reappearance. But for being kind enough to remember him, you get this mini preview:



The update, when it happens will go in the old thread:

Love it, GF! Getting some Outlander-esque vibes from this one... ;D

I'm very glad. I was actually going for that, even though I haven't even watched Outlander. Speaking of British associations, one of those British hillside white horses is off to the left, but cropped out.

Oh, that's a shame. Would have been nice to have it in the picture, I think.

Aw awesome! There is one of those here in Yorkshire, and fittingly enough, it's where my husband took me on our first date. :'D

Maybe I'll try to remember that for the real thing. It kinda depends on where the road surface is, unless I cut off the lower part(s) of the figure(s).

Awww... I've probably said it before, and will probably say it again, but you seem to have the very best of husbands. I'm just a little disappointed that only one of the horses (Uffington?) is medieval -- I found this out when I was trying to figure out which one was the one in my photo.

He is indeed a good one. :')

And ha... yeah. I guess you can see the others as homages... a sort of carrying forward of a tradition. I think it's kinda cute and quirky that British people feel this weird compulsion to carve horses into their hills even into the early modern and modern eras. :'D

As a horse lover you should appreciate it even more. I bet this is why you moved to England! I like it. Just have a preference for the pre-modern period and would have loved it if there were more of them surviving from then. But it is interesting that this sort of thing became popular in the 17th century and more recently. The one (cropped out) in my photo was the Hackpen/Broad Hinton white horse, supposedly created in 1838 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria.
