I first saw Vixen at Sarah's house during our first Mayhem gathering.  As I recall, she didn't have all her legs and Sarah was rather frustrated with her.  That probably should have been a warning, since my own trials with molding her were documented on my blog this past winter.  But I was smitten with her from the start, and just had to see her in glazed china.  And it was worth it, because she glazes beautifully.

This gal is also a bit of a break with tradition for me, because I usually keep the first glazed piece from each production.  I thought I might with her, but the truth is that I started that tradition because first pieces usually have some small flaw that I can use to justify keeping them.  Antoinette doesn't have any flaws, and a life spent hidden away in my china cabinet seems like a waste.  So she'll have a new home at the end of the lottery. 

Antoinette - named because I lop off her head as part of the molding process - is a rich golden palomino with a creamy mane and tail.  The darker hairs at the end of her tail and mane show off the movement of the strands - even if they make her less of a "show ring" version of the palomino color.  (I'm thinking that her attitude might be handicap in that area, too!)  The base color is a new formula that is unique to her, and it is a lovely gold without any hint of orange to it.  She had an intricate, lacey pattern typical of horses with both the sabino and frame overo patterns.  Special care was taken with the edging on her pattern, so she has no tell-tale tool marks and everything is in scale.  (She's even signed on the bottoms of her grounded feet so that nothing distracts from the pattern.)
