First successful restoration!
« on: March 14, 2013, 03:40:38 PM »
Welp, about a month ago I purchased a very sad looking Powder from a woman on Etsy. The poor girl had a giant ring of white-out around her neck, a yellowed and cut mane and a dry tail with some serious rust going on. Not to mention various other marks and names written on her. I decided I would use her as my guinea pig for my first restoration attempt (and my second try at rehairing).

After some serious cussing, a lot of patience and many, many acetone-soaked cotton balls, she is looking MUCH happier! Here's the before photos (taken from Etsy since I am horrible at taking before photos):
