Wooden Horse (carved) on carousel pole
Gypsy_Nights:
Wanted to show everypony my horse I did in one of my college art classes about 5 years ago. We had to make something out of dowel rods (hope I'm spelling that right). The long wooden poles that you can buy in the crafts section or a hardware store. Anyway they are long skinny pieces of wood. We were assigned to use just dowl rods to make anything we wanted and some reason I got the crazy idea that I wanted to make a MLP with them. :lookround: Bad idea! It was way more challenging than I thought it would be! >_< But I figured out how to shave some wood off here and some off there and ta-da! the front leg joints were Really Hard! There were multiple pieces that I had to glue together for the finished product. So with out the paint it looked wierd because the wood lines were all crazy and I had to use wood putty to fill in a few spots. So I spray painted it with a texture paint but didn't like it much so I sprayed red glitter spray over that. And then I drilled a bunch of holes for where I would put the pipe cleaners for the hair. And added the carrousel pole and base. My MLP had turned into a horse. I couldn't find dowl rods fat enough to make the pony look more plump like a MLP. I still like how it turned out though! :biggrin:
