~ The Making of Suspiro ~

One of the favorite trivia questions to ask is "What does 'suspiro' mean.... Other than this bit of trivia, Suspiro was one of the most popular Pour Horse pieces ever produced. Kristina has some very amusing stories about this darling, I'm sure.

~ Suspiro Variations (Including Tests) ~

The first production firing models had mapped snips and subtle body shadings. This practice was stopped because the shading rubbed when the models were laid on their sides in the kiln to bisque fire. Joan switched to a white body, with more drama in the mane and tail. Manes and tails varied, but on the average, got a little darker and more dramatic as the run progressed.n.
