December 14, 2021
Name: Dag Dia
Breed: Friesian
Color: Black
Special Run: Breyerfest Store Special 2016 Run of 1250
Significance: Only mane/tail combination on this mold produced
Yet another grail of mine found st last, who made it home safe and sound the incredible Dag Dia is now finally apart of the herd at last! This enchanting Stallion is absolutely incredible and I'm blown away how different he looks with this new mane and tail. I love his braids and really wish Breyer would release another horse with this mane and tail combination but I doubt they probably will especially any time soon. The Onyx black unicorn on this mold has this flipped tail but not the mane and I think that's the closest we'll get for a long time. I this horse is super magical looking and over all breath taking and excitement to have him settle into my shelves and become best friends with Faugh-a-Ballaugh.

And as you can tell from these pictures after being in the hobby over 7+ years now I finally saved enough money from my job working as a stable hand to buy a light box! It's 32x32 inches to make sure the Traditional models fit inside and it's huge! Really great quality so far and I'm so excited to use it to hopefully enter some photo shows! And speaking of photo shows I also just recently entered my first ever live show this February! It's the same, and only, show I posted about back in February 2019 so I am very excited to participate this coming year, fingers crossed I at least place in some shows.

While I was unfortunately not picked for him on my Collector's Club account, I won him at auction through Facebook! I got into quite an intense bid war with someone and the auction date was extended an extra day so for a while I wasn't sure I'd actually win but I spent up allll my luck I guess to add him to the herd. The reason Midas is SO special I because he's not handpainted over seas like most of Breyers models, he was painted at the New Jersey factory where all the Breyerfest Live Auction OOAK models are painted, which reflects his hefty price tag. His quality is meant to be unmatched compared to other Breyer Club models with the exception of Amberose who was also a Collector's Club Lottery model painted in New Jersey but he was a larger Run of 350 I believe. He has the perfect amount of gold shine to his coat to really pop and look realistic at the same time and his mapping... his mapping all around his markings are incredible especially around his eyes and kissy marks on his muzzle. This boy is just so freaking handsome I'm not sure what else to say about him other then he's perfect! A milestone in my collection for sure!

This makes me incredibly excited I joined the Club this year, having another sculpture by the artist of Geronimo and Dundee as they're two of my favorite Traditional molds, I'm very hopeful for another flashy stock horse! Zafirah I plan on reselling so far because she just doesn't seem to have that "it factor" for me. She's very pretty and her coloring is wonderful just not my thing as of now.
Josine just so happens to be the sculptor of Django, so I'm very excited to see what she comes out with next!

Speaking of the Stablemates Club, in this years release of the JAH magazine, they hinted the G1 mold used this is pretty popular among collectors so I went through IDYB.com send looked up every G1 that hasn't been used in the Club yet and came up with this list. The one I believe to be used this year is the Drafter, she's super popular among collectors and about time she gets a modern paint job they haven't used her too much over the years. Who do you think it's going to be?
~~~~~
Also bad news for virtual BreyerFest ticket holders this year - no access to purchasing special run models online they're reserved only for in-person attendees. 💔
In the meantime here's the event Stablemates for this year! I only have eyes for the Alby 😍
Brezel - named after the pretzel snack, Brezel is a deep flaxen chestnut (NOT silver as the breed only allows flaxen chestnut) with a high gloss finish Black Forrest horse done on the Fell Pony mold.
Spaetzle - a tribute to a famous German noodle dish prepared during festivals, this mini Alborozo sports a stunning frosted buckskin coat.
Lakritz - German for licorice, this handsome fellow is a gorgeous Dapple grey Hanoverian with painted braids with high gloss.
Doppelbock - inspired by a traditional beer, this handsome fellow is a shaded light bay on the Clydesdale mold with long male/tail version.

Any ponies on your Christmas list this year, and if so who?? 🤩

Drinker of the Yew: A Necromancer's Tale
Updates Once a Week next update 10/5 Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. What to expect: This is a slow-paced, dark, epic-fantasy book written mostly in an archaic first-person style, remniscent of fariy-tale at times. I am expecting the final product to be close to 600-700 pages. The first few chapters introduce a somewhat-steep learning curve of names and mythology of the world that plateaus at aroud chapter 5. The Cover is by youthartwork on Fiverr

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
