Horse sculpture from found pieces

Our granddaughter is an amazing artist and just graduated from high school as valedictorian of her class. Not only does she paint in all mediums, but she also does sculpture. The horse is constructed of such things as a hair roller and bits of wood, all found pieces. It was a gift to her sister Kelly who loves to compete in horse shows. I am guessing on the materials in the second one and will clarify with Jamie. Additionally, she won third place in the Congressional Art Competition for high school students. I will locate that image and show it soon.
I received good news when I got home from the East Coast. "Poppies on the Fault Line II" was accepted into the Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society's show, "Think Big," juried by Charlotte Huntley. No side of the framed piece can exceed 14 inches. She selected 40 pieces from a large number of entries. Yesterday I used
http://www.americanframe.com/ to build the frame, mat, acrylic glazing, and backing package for it. They are very reasonable and will also print your images on a support of your choice, including paper or canvas. I did not order a print, but may in the future. A friend recommended their site to me.
