as you can see..  theres silver glitter glue all over her.  every little inch of her wing.  and on her legs. and her forehead.  with the help of hot water  and a  mr clean magic eraser i managed to get the  glue soft enough to pull off. i  did get it all. the wings were the hardest part. i broke a nail doing it ><  she is currentl  drying a thte moment.  but this is  her current look.  while  i try and find a good.. deflocking tutorial.

also.. upon  looking at her close.  After her bath.  and  shampoo. i will have to rehair he.  as she has.. a haircut. and her hair  is far too dry adn frizzy.

her currently

i will say one thing.. the little kid at least was even..  both ings the exact same spots were glued.

the update!

so i got her  head finally  unhaired that was a nightmare. >< the good news is that her tail  hair is savable all it needed ws a good washing and conditning.  her head had to be deflocked becuae  it was rubbed  badly.  her body  has almost perfect flocking. so  i will rehair  and  reflock her head!

She looks good! Some fun flock would go a long way.

[Lorelei Redfern]

thanks!  she only has it  misisng in a few places.  i'm debating on eithr rying to reflock or. or deflock her.  defntlly  gonna rehair her.

Gosh what weird glitter glue additions! You have done well to get that off...there are good tutorials for both deflocking and reflocking - both should be in one of the stickies at the top of the Customs forum Good luck with whichever you decide to do

[Lorelei Redfern]

thanks hathor.  it took a lot of scrubbing  and then  tugging and pulling. i'll be adding more pics once i get her hair out 

[rainbowstars]

She's definitely a TON cleaner:)  Good luck if you reflock.  I've never done it before. 

[SourdoughStomper]

She's looking better already.

What a nice job getting rid of the glitter glue!   Ya know, her flocking (where it is still) looks pretty nice & clean, if you decide to reflock, she will prolly look great!

But if you decide to deflock, get ready to break more nails!

[ponylady]

Good Luck on what ever you decide to do 

She'll look great either way!  But I might lean towards the reflock as the rest of her flocking looks pretty good!

[Lorelei Redfern]

yeah i think i  will attempt a reflock.. once i finish  geetting her mane out.  thanks for all the support! this is the first time i'm attmepting something liek this. and i was impressed..  apart from the  glitter glue  and the  dry hair shes in great condition. she sstill super soft. and defntly a lot  cleaner after the  magic eraser dishsoap bath

[Lorelei Redfern]

so i got some yellow hair yay! what sort of flocking things do you guys reccomend  for reflocking her head? and should i reflock then rehair or rehair then  flock?

[hathorcat]

This is the only tutorial I know of for flocking...

I would suggest you ask over in customs for specific advise if you are still not sure from this tutorial

Great job so far!

Oooo, keep up the good work, and keep those updates coming!  I'm following with great interest.  I may (someday) attempt a touchup on my Wind Whistler, where she rubbed when I washed her.  In the meantime, I wish you best wishes with Best Wishes!
