I said I would eventually get brave enough to dapple a solid horse in earthenware. The technique requires an extremely soft touch, and it’s not especially forgiving. The prospect of spending hours on layers, only to ruin it somewhere along the line, was pretty discouraging. But I thought I could pull it off, and that’s how I got Bentley. He’s a Pour Horse Nomad (because it was easier to be brave on a mold that is easy to demold and clean!), and he’s a dappled bay with a blaze and hind socks. He ranges in color from a bright golden-red to deep chocolate and black, all with soft, subtle transitions. I couldn’t be more pleased (well, I might be even more pleased if I am able to ever pull this type of color off again).
