Thanks

I'd love a carousel horse for my sig. too.  Please send me one as well (if
possible, as small as possible to keep my sig size as small as possible).

Here, is this more what you had in mind?

The head's kind of goofy, but hey, I'm new at 
this (that's my first ever!) and small scale 
is a real bear.  Enjoy! (gulp! I hope...)

Hi Lori!
Here ya go:     .   <---- you _said_ as small as possible!

You have to use a 25X imaginifying glass to view it.

It is beautiful!
What it needs is a pair of ears and a fourth hoof and also the eye looks a
bit strange. Here is my suggestion:


                                              
              |  M

       (/(^ UUU  )_
        ) >,)-=//-/
          \\  | \o
          oo  | o

The bigger head is an improvement but why do you guys
keep chopping his ears off? Horses have nice big ears! 
and I don't think I have ever seen a horse running 
around with his eyes shut.

You know nothing about horses do you? When they put their ears
back like that it means that they are angry (and besides this 
last one looks more like a dead donkey than a horse)



Smaller, *happy*, ears:

               |  _M
         _     | / o\
        ( ) _  |/./~Q)
        (/(^ UUU  )_
         ) >,)-=//-/
           \\  | \o
           oo  | o

Those big ears in a couple of new interpretations:

               |  _/)
         _     | / o\
        ( ) _  |/./~Q)
        (/(^ UUU  )_
         ) >,)-=//-/
           \\  | \o
           oo  | o

               |  /|
         _     | / o\
        ( ) _  |/./~Q)
        (/(^ UUU  )_
         ) >,)-=//-/
           \\  | \o
           oo  | o

A completely new pair (but they look more like horns...):

               |  ((
         _     | / o\
        ( ) _  |/./~Q)
        (/(^ UUU  )_
         ) >,)-=//-/
           \\  | \o
           oo  | o

As for eyes...

               |  _M
         _     | / '\
        ( ) _  |/./~Q)
        (/(^ UUU  )_
         ) >,)-=//-/
           \\  | \o
           oo  | o

               |  _M
         _     | / �\ 
        ( ) _  |/./~Q)
        (/(^ UUU  )_
         ) >,)-=//-/
           \\  | \o
           oo  | o

...I am still not happy...
