Hoarding supplies...

[MercuryStar]

Super-fine/Micro-glitter.   I hated stocking glitter when I worked at a certain fabric and craft store, because it got on everything, even when the packages were sealed.    But now, for some reason, I have a ton of different micro-glitter packs.   Jars, sample bags, tubes, all sorts.   Most of them are generic stuff, with a lot of color overlap, but I have so many colors it doesn't much matter.   

I can't tell you how many times I have picked up those packages of Martha Stewart glitter and tried to justify the price in my head... it's glitter, I need it.


And I have yet to use any of the glitter I already own. 

I would be a hair hoarder is I could afford it.

This!   I have this plan that some day I will have every color, in every fiber type, from Dollyhair (and maybe some others), and that I will keep a sample of each for color matching and decision-making purposes.   But right now I can't really even afford hair for the WIP pony I have.

I hoard a lot of craft supplies when I can, and quite a bit of it is stuff that I bought with ponies in mind.  "Ooh, this might be useable, I need it!"

baits and paint. i seriously want to play in your hair collection

Man. I have so much hair on the way in. I am so excited. Some of my trades allowed me to get hair in exchange for my g1 ponies, and I was paid for a commission that requires sculpting, so I turned around and bought a Ron of hair with that. I really wish we could afford a bigger apartment so I could have a better work space. Everything is on three shelves of the book shelf and getting everything out and carrying it to the kitchen table then puttin it all up takes so much time. Sometimes I don't work on ponies because while I have enough time, the set up and tear down time makes it not worthwhile.

I custom mix almost all paint I use so I don't need to hoard that, I have the basics blue white black yellow red and a few others...but Hair I have lots and lots of hair and now I found a dollar store that sells micro fine glitter in lots of colours and I bought every one of them...so they came in little tiny bags of like an ounce and five colours on a card for $1.50 so it wasn't so bad...And I have used it thankfully for a few customs now!

I horde hair and pony baits. I have so many and I'm still buying more. I don't have as much hair as you but I sure am aiming for it

[PetiteTiger]

I hoard paint. @_@  I always justify it because if you don't have the right shades of a color you can't mix anything (Vinyl Scratch bright blue?  Yeah, you can't make that color from darker blues.) and that I'll use it for art projects or something... But I rarely if ever use acrylic in school, and I probably didn't need to get that Magenta...

[DaffyDilly]

I have quite the collection of everything!


Recently donated my old paints to charity as I have a new preferred brand so I'm a bit short on those right now. 170 colours or something in this new range so I have the chart and just buy them as I need them.


I have a lot of tools too - airbrush, dremel, heat gun, glue gun, straightners...


Baits have been thinned out and it's a while since I bought any bait lots, same with hair I've only bought what I've needed if I didn't have it already.

I'm definitely a bait hoarder. I have more than 70 baits at the moment ans more on the way. I would hoard hair too if I had the money.

[Maniah]

You could do like I've done, Naylastar, and accept trades for hair. Trade out some of your baits for more hair

If my payments from my ebay auctions ever clear, I'm looking at getting either an airbrush, or a dremmel. I think the dremmel will be cheaper.. But the Airbrush I could use on every pony..

Can anyone recommend any good airbrush kits to buy? Links to product pages would be nice.

I bought my new airbrush a few weeks ago, I got a siphon feed double action from this company and it is amazing! I highly recommend them! http://www.paascheairbrush.com/

I have a Badger Crescendo and it's awesome!

[Maniah]

Quick question.. Will an airbrush work with any compressor, or does the compressor have to be a specific type?

[jupiternwndrlnd]

seeing your pics hanna, makes me want to buy more hair!! MORE!!

[TickledPink]

I have the tendency to hoard hair. My supply has dwindled quite a bit over the years, but I plan on buying even more soon...haha.

I can't seem to stop ordering every shade of pink

[Colorscapesart]

I hoard everything.  Hair I have a cork board full of hair, tons of paints, 3 large totes of prepped baits, McD ponies out the wazoo, and old jewelry/clockwork bits and bobs.
