The MEPSA Adios Makeover Challenge results!

BIDDING is over, and these horses should be leaving for their new homes shortly. Thanks you so much, artists and bidders, as well as observers. Scroll down to see bids by each horse's number.


This challenge was about a year-long. The idea was to take an Adios body and customize it in absolutely whatever way the artist chose. We not only had fun- there were WONDERFUL Adioses contributed to MEPSA. We thank every participating artist most sincerely. The artists were not kept secret for this one, so each creator's name appears with their model. We ask that you match each model with one description. Everyone gets a small prize- we intend this to be art supplies or gift cards, natch. In addition, because the entries are so outstanding, and will really help MEPSA, we will draw one name to get a larger prize from among the entries!

The name drawn was LISA SHEPARD! Lisa gets an unfinished mini artist resin!

All of these models can be available for purchase. Please mail Laurel at dserthorse@aol.com or Danielle at dddduggan@gmail.com if there is one you'd like to make an offer on. We will look at all offers, but if you really want one of these, make an offer of market value :)
