My first custom!

[Pepperminty]

I actually made it for the cheap custom contest but lost my receipts during a move but anyway!

(wind picked up in this pic lol)

I used a baity Glory for this pony. Glory's body was badly discolored and her hair was so frizzy and stained it wasn't worth saving. With that in mind, I decided that covering up the pony completely was the only way to "save" it. Since using a lot of paint was against the rules, I ended up settling on using paper. Even though it's paper, I wanted to give the impression that it was soft and plush-like so I picked out some paper that had fabric prints on them. I curled the tinsel in the mane (by hand, individually!) but I left the tail's tinsel straight. I used tinsel for the hair mostly because I didn't luck out with finding any fake hair at the dollar store.

i think she's just fabulous! she looks like she's made of patchwork quilting and i love the use of the ribbon. i used ribbon once and it turned out ok but not nearly as good as yours did! just very prettys.

plus bonus for making a glory prettiful in my book

This custom is too adorable. It's such a shame the receipts were lost!

I agree with Pika. I would have loved to have put you in the contest. You would have done very well I think.

I loved the idea and I think it's fortunate you didn't find fake hair as I love the tinsel more than that!!

She does look soft and "plushy" and the colors are great. Nice work.

It looks like a plush! How sweet!

 

[Pepperminty]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I was actually very close to ripping out the tinsel at one point. lol I just felt like it was clashing with the plush feel.
