Publisher's Synopsis
The pony pals, Toby, Patches, and Chestnut, have a puzzle they need to solve. Their dear friend, Princess Tumble, has sent them an invitation to a very special party, but how will they get there? They are stuck! The big event is only one full moon away, and they have to hurry! Can they solve the puzzle in time? Spontaneous Still Life. The ponies weren't originally cast as objects for a story. They began by doing the typical work that beloved stuffed animals accomplish every day for children all over the world. Each day the ponies made an appearance on the bed, sporting a different pose just for the sake of bringing a smile. They were more fun than decorative pillows. The poses were captured in images - just for giggles. After about a year, the story wove itself together, and the ponies came to life. Photography is forever an allure. For this project it served as the expression that built the story and brought the words into being. Projects like this may, in their very small ways, encourage a view of the world through a childlike lens. Happiness lives there. It's like hugging your favorite stuffed animal, or your real life pony (Thanks, Toby!).
