I'm planning to make a full set of six Twinkle Eyes . . . This is the third pony, halfway done! :D

I wanted to make a Mardi Gras pony. Originally I planned to use Meadowbrook for her, but the extra I got with Wing Wishes whoever had a huge, visible scratch all the way down her back. (Booo.) Fortunately, I had a Sunset Sweety I was already dehairing and her body color turned out to be perfect! (Yaaay!)

Backcard story:

The moon hung full and orange over cobblestone streets crowded with laughing, dancing ponies. In the crowd, Carnival admired a colorful float being pulled along. Sequins of red, purple, and blue sparkled as they formed a rainbow leading up to a cloud made of gauze and glitter. On top of it stood the king and queen of the festival, tossing strings of beads, coins, and feathered masks down to the surging crowd.

Suddenly, the baby ponies scrambling up to the float cried out in dismay and the king and queen's smiles were replaced with worried looks. They had run out of trinkets to throw! Carnival knew just what to do; she blinked her eyes and the sequins started popping off the rainbow on the float . . . and each one turned into a lustrous string of beads. The crowd cheered as strands of sapphire blue or emerald green or ruby red rained down on them.

"But the float won't look half as good without the sequins," commented a pony near Carnival.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that," she replied airly. Sure enough, the sequins fell away to reveal not pasteboard, but a real rainbow! "It's magic! Carnival magic!" the baby ponies sang as they danced in the glow of the rainbow, bedecked with beads. "Yes, it is!" laughed Carnival, winking her sparkling eyes.
 
MASQUERADE! <3 DIFFERENT FACES ON PARADE!

I LOVE this! Ponies with mask-themes are awesome. <3 Awesome as always, LM!
 
Ooo, very nice =)

What does the other ones look like? *curious* =P
 
Thanks! :D Here are the other two . . . Beacon and Dragonfly. :)

If that hits Ebay, I'm buyin' it. That looks cool.. are you going to customize a box, too?
 
You must be psychic . . . I was just thinking of starting a post asking for advice on customizing boxes. :D

They will probably end up on eBay eventually, once the whole set is complete. Three down, three to go! ;)

How are you doing the TE's? Are you using old TE's as bait? Just for a tip, in case you wanted to know, if you take that Sally Henson jewel nail polish, the stuff that's iridescent.. use South-Sea Pearl over the eyes and you will get your 'glaze' like the old TE's had.

I figure you already know but I'd say it anyways, lol
 
Wow, thanks for the tip! I was experimenting with a coating of pearlescent paint, but that just wasn't doing it . . . No, I don't use TE bait, I picked up a packet of similar acrylic gems at the fabric store. ;) They are a bit bigger around than TE gems and a bit flatter for their size.

I did try getting the eyes out of a baity Sweet Stuff once, for a different custom . . . I had SUCH a time trying to remove them! I don't think I ever did manage it. :D

lol, LadyM, I have about 600 bottles of assorted nail polish.. I have done every experament possible.

I would love to see the boxes when you are done. I know there are some people who customize those, also. I will definitely buy one.
 
oh she's so precious! I want her! lol I can't wait to see the other 3 you're going to make! :D
 
oh WOW I love you TE ponies! *wants but is totally skint* whimper... oooh if they hit ebay I'd spend the entire auction staring at them like this >>> :shock:
I just love beacon, and the stories you make for them! I tracked down some gems and now I can't wait to try a TE of my own (it'll probably look awful though).

She's so PERFECT and she reminds me of Masquerade (G1) Which is even better *huggles Masquerade*
