SOLD Peachy-Heart-Throb takes flight!

[AutumnRoan]

Years ago, while in a thrift store I found this Peachy and had pity on her and brought her and her buds home with me. She had wings drawn on her flanks in ball-point pen. When I went to restore her, I found that the ink of her wings is in there for good, and wouldn't bleach or budge. And in a way her history of wanting to fly is now indelibly part of the doll. So, I gave her a custom job.

before:

This custom is like taking a bad tattoo and making it better. I covered over the doodled wings with properly painted wings. Her cutie mark got wings too. Then I gave her an ombre hair dye job so her roots would have a nice constrasting pink just like Heart Throb.

After:

Happy girl!


p.s. Peachy-Heart-Throb's been part of my learning curve for using glitter and for cleaning and bleaching ponies. This is her reward for her hard work: a new life.
p. p. s. Man, those spangly microplastics get everywhere! She's still dusting off a few bits of sparkle

Pretty! I think you did a great job, the peach highlights in her wings are very "uplifting," and turning her Peachy symbol into Hearthrob's is very natural/organic. It has the same felicitous beauty of the ponies when they are painted frolicking around in meadows on the backcards.

This is brilliantly done!

What a lovely concept!! I love her details. You did a great job!

Thank you guys @OctoberMoon @Daintress @Luminary and @Tak ! I couldn't let this Peachy rest in ball-point pen-flaw misery. Redemption is sweet. The wings are irregular because the tattoos I'm covering were irregular. And next time I'll use different glue that lays flat for the sparkles.

Also when I say for sale, I'm willing to trade for her as well. I am looking for a good home for her most of all, so I'm happy to take on another pony in return. I'm happy to take any old Sparkler, for instance, or a G3 of your choice.

I so wish I could buy her!

I love the idea and what you did with her! She came out great
