Wow, that is amazing. How did you make the symbol so flat? What materials did you use (glitter, glue)?
I used something called PTE glitter. I bought it off of ebay. It's usually used for nail art ect. It's pretty fine. Not quite as fine as habro's, but not too far off. I used a brush on sealant as a glue. I didn't think it would be strong enough, but after several tests, it turned out it was! I 'painted' the symbol shape with the sealant first and then applied the glitter with a brush
If it had gone slightly off, it was fairly easy to correct by pushing it in line with a cocktail stick.
I love doing this too! I actually started with my childhood Moondancer and childhood ponies. You can see the Moondancer over there in my avatar pic. I'm working on a batch of restorations right now, in between algebra and spending time with my kiddos (so it's been SLOW going).
Any how, you did a great job! I will definitely be stalking your thread to see more!
Wow, she looks fantastic! One of the other ponies I am in the process of doing is Moondancer. I have always wanted her, and I finally got her a few weeks back - albeit with a detached tail and major glitter loss
When she's done she will be joining my herd
Thank you for the help! I can't wait to see more restorations! It gives me hope for my VERY loved ponies.
You're very welcome! I really hope it works out well. Make sure you test it somewhere first, though. I'd hate to be responsible for ruining your ponies
I'd avoid the symbols, eyes ect to be safe, though I think it takes a lot of rubbing before white spirit takes them off? I'm not sure though. I don't use it much as I'm impatient and just reach for the cellulose thinners instead
Hehe us corral mods live here lol
I am so looking forward to seeing the others!
You really do
I'm not sure if I've posted a topic in the corral lately that you
haven't replied to.
It's 2am and you're still on... Go get some sleep!
Ignore the fact that I'm still online...In a very fancy cave...they just feed us occasionally with chocolate and rum.
Well, can't say much for the rum as I've never had it, but they give you chocolate?! Where do I sign?!
