Thanks everybody for kind words!!!!!! I'm really excited to get her finished when the mail comes in. Also turns out I already HAD some hair for another custom project, so you'll be hearing about that one soon too 👀

another update! my needles arrived, so i got right to finishing the hair! Here it is fullrooted, and after cut+style! I sorta cut it a little shorter than I meant to..oops. but i'm still happy with it! It really hard to judge just how much is getting cut, its so full!

im still fiddling with it, putting it all in place. I haven't done the tail yet because the rump is still drying with paint. Still gotta do the cutie mark. The last thing to come in are the beads for her hair, and I might put some in the tail too.

That hair looks awesome!  Did it come already curled?  Was that hard to root?  She looks so good with it...can't wait to see her finished!

Thanks!! This hair came pre-curled. It's "synatra" fiber, afaik only available from Australia. It's really silky and bouncy, and responds really well to heat. The only time it was difficult to root is occasionally when pulling the strands out, the curls get locked together and if you pull too hard, the curl will loose it's shape. Other than that it was the same as any other pony :+)

display side! her neck peg had some issues, i was putting it in to test the fit and when i pulled it back out the gasket lip thing just ripped right off. oops! so I glued her head permenantly, but there's a bit of a seam showing..i almost went over it with apoxy but i didn't wanna repaint that much....

closeup on her beads. it was hard to find ones that were exactly what i wanted (obviously)...the black one is a tad big for what i imagined, but i think the pattern really fits. the little green and orange ones were a big pain in the tuckus to get on the hairs.

view from the back! i would have liked to have more beads in her hair but it was such a pain that i sort of gave up on that. overall im pretty happy with her...!

She came out so gorgeous!<3 And you managed to teach me about a new animal, I thought she was an okapi at first tbh.

Okapi would be a good custom to make too! I really like them as well

She looks awesome!  The hair and beads turned out really well.  I really like her symbol, too.

It was so fun following her progress, btw!  Thanks for sharing that with us.
