If it's perfection you want, perfection you shall have.
Can you possibly retake the house photo?
Camera's got the pony blurred and the light bulb on the right is in perfect focus. *g*
Mine does that to me too sometimes, drives me nuts trying to get the lens to "see" what I want it to see. Got the macro setting on?


i'll think on this a bit and get back to you in the AM.

Maybe the hair could be the rainbow

In theory, yes.. but i probably can't post them until tomorrow night, because my computer at home is stupidvista and will NOT talk to my camera card reader; I have to take it to work to get the photos off the camera. I might steal my bf's cell phone and see if that camera will get it.

hmmm. rainbow hair... i was planning to do dark green with yellow stripes, but that can easily be changed at this point.

I can wait if you can
Nah don't even frustrate yourself with the cell phone pics, they're mostly low res images anyway and I'd love to see the minute details if I can. While you'e retaking I'd love to see the roofs/tops of the buildings in Emerald City, without the glare.

How about adding a little touch of ruby red microglitter to those ruby slippers?
I might have some if you need. From what I can tell from the blurry pic the house needs a little munchkinland background, and possibly some shutters or shingles. And ooh how about a patch of corn plants somewhere between the house and the woods?

what if you put green glitter around the emerald city to make it pop?

I did the slippers in a metallic paint, and the green background too, so they're pretty shiny... but it doesn't show well in the pictures. I don't think i've seen microglitter...is that something Michael's would have? I know the drug store here doesn't, but that's not surprising, they're pretty limited on art stuffs. I've got some fairly coarse "craft" glitter paints that I think are intended for kids, they're really hard to get a smooth layer with.

heheheh. shingles... you have SO much more faith in my ability to paint detail than I have! I'll give the shutters a try. Think I need to do something about the blue back ground on that too... maybe i'll try to paint corn stalks in around the house?

Yes the shoes are shiny paint and the pony's body is also shiny finish, but they both share sort of the same texture, by be-sparkling the shoes you'd make them stand out even more. Cosmetic-grade micro glitter is super fine powdery stuff that comes in teeny pots, and companies like Ben Nye manufacture it; but I've also seen it at places like Claire's. You can't get it at Michael's the last time I checked, they have only the standard stuff.

Yeah I'd say reducing the blue area around the house would be a great idea, either with cornstalks and a windmill, or lollipop munchkin plants and flowers. Depends on where the house is supposed to be, in KS or Munchkinland.

Better view of her chest/house and of the city....

(Those are supposed to be feet sticking out under the house...and if you have to explain it, it's obviously not well enough done, right?)

Very nice job. I am not really one for The Wizard Of Oz but this pony captures the movie really well. I cant wait to see her finished.

[Kar Red Roses]

Cool, new pics

Yeah, too much blue around the house there, fill that in with some munchkinland-ish stuff and maybe a couple of cornstalks on the left hand side where the road starts?

Emerald city could be a little brighter and smoother. Art refs attached!

Okay, new pictures up in the first entry, showing the re-done house and city. Much happier with the house, though it's not perfect by a long shot, but having paint issues with the city :(

the city looks a lot better, sorry it's crackly though :-\
