Arts & Crafts Corral / Colored pencil advice.
« on: December 11, 2015, 08:04:25 PM »
Hi there. So I've gotten a few of those adult zen tangle type coloring books lately and would like to color them. I have some regular crayola colored pencils which are fine but I was looking into maybe getting a slightly better quality pencil. But I can't afford $50 for a set of 12 or 24 either. Is there anything a step up that's not crazy expensive for a casual color-er person like myself, lol?
And yes, I googled it but there are so many choices I was looking for some firsthand advice.
TIA!

Pony Brag Arena / Private rehair swap with Eternia!
« on: December 07, 2015, 01:59:03 PM »
I got my box from the amazing Eternia yesterday. I was in the middle of cleaning out a room and it didn't occur to me to take pics before I ripped into everything and dispersed it around the house, lol. So I'll show you what I can.

I had requested Fashems for my daughter if she could find them as I've never seen them before. She also sent fun pony finger tattoos and some mechanical pencils that have colored lead! I've never seen ones with colored lead before. There was also some strawberry Pocky but its hidden away in the kitchen right now, lol.

First I unwrapped this beauty and laughed because we both did a Dancing Butterflies! We hadn't picked a specific pony for the other to do so that was funny. She's gorgeous though! All that fluffy soft hair!
Here's another shot of her.

The Dollhouse / Monster High/La La Loopsy dolls possibly for sale.
« on: November 21, 2015, 09:29:29 PM »
Hi there. So I don't have a MH Arena account and would rather not get one if I don't have to. My daughter is getting rid of quite a few of her MH dolls. I think they are most or all naked as the clothes are being kept for the ones she's keeping. Their hair is in varying states of craziness.

Would anyone here be interested in a lot of naked MH dolls?
I can take pics if anyone is interested.

I have a lot that have all their pieces and a few that may be missing a limb or two completely.


I also have all her La La Loopsy regular sized dolls. I could try to dig up the correct clothes maybe. I know they'll be more difficult to ship so I'd only do so if I could get a decent price for them.

Lease let me know if there's any interest. :)

Pony Corral / ? About G4 Fashion Style ponies
« on: October 18, 2015, 11:35:48 PM »
I know almost nothing about the popularity of the various G4 characters and designs. I found a fashion style pony at the thrift store and it has the smaller wings, not the hideous giant ones. Is she anymore vsought after or just normal value?

Customs / Unlucky Clover Dollyhair
« on: October 10, 2015, 06:31:03 PM »
Hello! I'm right in the middle of a project and don't have enough Unlucky Clover to finish the tail. I need a piece 20 inches long and about the thickness of a pinkie finger or a little less. I can pay a bit through Paypal or maybe trade another color. I'd like to receive the hair quickly and don't need other colors so I'd rather not order through Dollyhair. TIA!  :biggrin:

Off Topic / DIYers, show me your stuff!
« on: June 20, 2015, 11:00:17 PM »
Hi, I'm looking into DIYing some furniture for my bedroom and refinishing some furniture for other areas of my house. I was wondering if anyone else had their own projects to share? I'd love to see pics of what you've done or plan to do.

It seems I have somewhat expensive taste in some furniture and making it myself, with hubby's help, can greatly reduce the cost. I have plans, and some of the components, to make a wingback tufted headboard. I also want to make some simple midcentury modern nightstands that seem to sell for hundreds of dollars which I can probably make for less than $100 for 2 of them. And maybe I'll make an upholstered bench for the foot of the bed.

I have a cabinet I got for free that needs some revamping but once done will house all the little items my children have made at the local paint your own pottery place. I also have a nice simple girls desk/vanity that could use some help and a chair I plan to reupholster. And a large shelf unit that needs repainting for storage in my daughters room.

Seems like quite a lot once typed out, lol.

So, show me what you've done or tell me about what you plan to do. I want to feel inspired!

Off Topic / Furniture rehab?
« on: May 23, 2015, 10:16:27 PM »
Hi! I have recently acquired a few pieces of furniture I plan to repaint and make like new again. Just wondering if anyone else does the same thing. Does anyone have before and after pics of their projects? If you do, I'd love to see them!

Wanted! / Starsong and Sweetiebelle G3 Mcdonalds ponies
« on: April 29, 2015, 07:11:12 PM »
Hi! So I've got many of these MCdonalds ponies but fewer of the Unicorn and Pegasus ones.
I'm planning on a project with these and need more. Not willing to spend too much and would prefer multiple ponies at a time.
So if you've got a forgotten few around that you don't need anymore I would love to have them!

Customs / Private rehair swap?
« on: April 24, 2015, 10:29:24 PM »
Hi there! I think this goes in this forum but if not please move to Corral or wherever needed.

I'm interested in doing a private rehair swap with someone.
I specifically would like someone who does the brushed yarn/fiber rehairs that look reminiscent of perfume puffs. Perfume puff ponies were never a favorite but I've seen some gorgeous rehairs and am interested in owning one.
I do rehairs with traditional doll hair myself.

If this sounds like something that may interest you please post a pic or two of your puff rehairs so I can be sure it's the style I'm thinking of.
I was thinking we could trade lists of a few ponies we'd like to see rehaired and the other person would pick one or two to rehair. (Number to be agreed on later)

Here are a few examples of my rehairs.

Pony Brag Arena / Thrift store haul!
« on: January 17, 2015, 11:38:49 AM »
Ok, so I almost never find ponies in the thrift store. If i do they're happy meal ponies or G3 usually. I took a shopping trip yesterday and decided to stop by Value Village to check it out. This area is about 45 minutes away from me so I only been to that thrift store a couple times. I was browsing items and came across the wall where they hang all the small bagged toys.
I wasn't finding much when I came to the end and saw a familiar sight. G1's!
I went on to find all of this.

Can you see anyone in there? I think they all came from the same owner as most of them have horrible hair that's almost been turned into dreadlocks.

Here they are freed from their plastic prisons.

This has got to be the most G1s I've ever found at the thrift store. Quite a few have tail rust and look like they're full of mold which needs to be cleaned out. It seems I promptly broke the Dance and Prance pony. I wound her a little to see if she worked and she did. So I wound her again but it seems I wound her one too many times cause now she won't dance anymore. Does anyone know if I ruined her or if she can be fixed?

Anyway, I was just excited to find G1s at the thrift store that I bought all I saw regardless of condition, lol.

Customs / Precious Pocket Prototype repros.
« on: December 29, 2014, 11:43:44 PM »
Gypsyunicorn commissioned me to do this set sometime around the beginning of the year. It's taken me all year to finish them due to a number of things but they're finally done and in gypsyunicorn's hands.

First is a pic of what the actual prototypes look like.

And because she likes Crumpet I was also commissioned to make a Crumpet Precious Pocket pony. I didn't get the best pic but she has the tea cup pocket and a crumpet to dip inside.

Customs / Hermit Pony 2 and Dreamcatcher pony for my Mom.
« on: July 03, 2014, 03:31:36 PM »
I made the Hermit pony on commission for shadowlark quite awhile ago. Shadowlark wanted a pony like my original hermit pony and this was the result. She looks somewhat neon in the pics but she was really just a nice orange.

I've been working on my mother's pony for quite awhile. I wanted it to represent her and what she loves. The lovely FBR was a happy accident. Me and my airbrush were not getting along and it kept sputtering the paint everywhere and left me with the wonderful effect seen here. I made a tiny dreamcatcher with beads and little metal feathers and sewed it onto the pony.
I was trying to give her a Native American name meaning something to do with the wolf or moon but it seems many translations are false so for now she has no name.

Customs / Sebright pony for Okami_Amaterasu (TWW Swap)
« on: May 03, 2014, 06:31:29 PM »
My Partner was Okami_Amaterasu. On her list of things were hens. More specifically Sebright hens. She mentioned that she loved that race of chicken. So I decided to do a hippogryph style Sebright creature.
Made from a donkey pose G3, this pony was scuplted with both Super Sculpey and Apoxie Sculpt and sealed with a few different finishes of sealant for effect.
I suck at naming customs so Okami please feel free to name her anything you wish.
I really hope you love her.

Wanted! / Gate Check Bag for car seat.
« on: February 26, 2014, 12:37:12 PM »
I realize this us an odd want. However, I need a gate check bag for our car seat because we are flying home in 2 weeks.
I'm hoping not to spend too much as this will likely only be used for this one trip. Craigslist has been a bust and these things seem to be a bit overpriced new for what they are especially if I'm only using it once.
If anyone has one could you please let me know ASAP the cost + shipping to 98277?
Thank you!
