Hello. I'm hoping some people have customized the EG dolls and will be able to help me out with this. My daughter got two dolls for x-mas and managed to snap Twilights leg off the ball on the hip. She fell and both her and Twi landed wrong, luckily all my girl got was a small cut and some bruises. I have been trying to get the leg to pop back onto the ball, but the leg is hard plastic and the ball is softer. Has anyone been able to re-attach the EG legs without doing any damage? If so, how is this done?

Thank you and hope you all had a great holiday!

"Jack Frost" You could make a TAF with frost crystals all over in blues and white.

"Tinsel" you could re-hair in all silver tinsel and a red or green body

"Miss L Toe" in greens and white.

I really wish I had thought of Miss L. Toe.  The first thing that popped into my head was a lolita themed christmas pony whose full name was Miss Lolita Toe.  Miss L. Toe....yea, maybe I'm just sleep deprived.

Awesome work hun!!! Have you read about cutting a V shape out of the plastic on the neck plug? It makes it easier to get the head back onto the body and you don't have to manhandle and squish the head to get it in. I almost always need to be kinda rough to get them together if I don't make the V cut. It was just a thought since you do have clay on the head, I'd hate for it to pop off at this stage.

I had good luck with this using an eyelash/eyebrush comb. I didn't have the money to go out and buy a wire brush.

I am in love with those eyes! Wonderful job on her.

ok, first off...Sleipner!!!!!     ok, favorite mythical equine fangirl squeal is over.

Your clay work looks amazing, I must congratulate you with that. I myself still have issues with getting the clay nice and smoothed out where it meets the pony.

I've never had modge podge go tacky with me, but I have read if it's in a humid atmosphere for a while it will start to turn opaque and cloudy. I live in Washington state, lots of rain, but haven't had any of mine turn cloudy. For the front piece of hair I would just do extra plugs, or on the side with more plugs have the extra ones be the front piece. Hope that made sense. For the bandana I would use some of my scrap cloth, but I know a lot of people who make clothing and such from clay, which I fail at. Personal preference on the hooves, I would make them a slightly darker color than the body. I feel it shows of the hair above the hooves better. I have no advice on the Sleipner since I've never had the chance to customize a Celestia.

All in all I think you are doing amazing with your customs. On Wigwam though, I can see some of the paint strokes from the brush. Some people use make up sponges or watered down paint with many layers to keep the brush strokes out. It could also just be a little too much paint on the brush, or the previous layer of paint not being fully dry before putting on a new one (guilty of that myself on many an occasion). As I said, everything else looks just awesome. Now if you will kindly look to your left at the purple weasels wearing glasses and eating peanut butter.... * steals Sleipner *

I just Squee'd out loud when I saw your Mint Chocolate Chip. She is by far my favorite of the bunch. They all look so lovely.

The detail you got into the flower colors is simply beautiful. I love how you even got the hair to appear striped in her tail. So far I haven't been able to get a multicolored tail to stripe that way. Adorable!
