I wasn't going to post, but seeing as I never find G1 stuff anymore...  I had some luck at the swapmeet; these days I mostly just go to hunt for art supplies, but I still check the odd box of toys just in case. I thought it was one of the regular 'my little puppy' figures at first but then realised it was Baby Susie's pup Spot. Never thought I'd have one, let alone find one (he's so tiny!) but finally my baby Susie is complete. It was really expensive though. A whole 20c. Ouch.  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnywho I was happy. Wanted to share.  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginstickied 08.05.17 - unstickied 12.05.17 Spinky69er

Thanks, I appreciate the lovely feedback I'm looking into selling them (perhaps on etsy or through the arena) so when I do I'll make a post about it on here to let you guys know. I'd like to open up for commissions on the arena, I will post about it here when I'm ready to get into some more commission work! (My routine's a little all over the place at the moment.) In the meantime, a piccy of Parasol with her giant twin

theyre so cuteeeee, I love them all
Also mind if I ask what kind of matte varnish you ending up using? uvu, I've been on the lookout for one myself
Hi! Sorry for the delayed response; I did a bit of research and it seems a lot of people had good results with Testor's Dullcoate (clear). It comes in a small can & is a little pricey but it does give a good matte finish. The cheaper brand I tried turned out glossy, so it seems you get what you pay for. They all look adorable! I rather like the glossy finish, myself, but the matte looks nice too.
Same  some things look better matte, but these-shiny all the way! Thanks everyone!

Hi again everyone! To cut down on threads I'm going to use this one to post my petites/etc from now on. If you're keen to see extra photos or other works you can check out my deviantart gallery, I'll be adding most of my stuff there. http://kookyraccoon.deviantart.com------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ visitors can't see pics , please register or login(With big parasol)  Been a little while, but I'm back with another one I was excited to be able to give mini-parasol glittery symbols like her original-version. (Bit hard for the camera to pick up.) Glitter is not something I ever use in my other art, so I don't buy it; but fortunately I also seldom get rid of art supplies. I just happened to have a little bit of ultra-fine stuff that was perfect. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginOn my deviantart page there's a pic of what she looks like as a completed necklace; and the glitter is a bit clearer too! http://kookyraccoon.deviantart.com/art/Parasol-Petite-670607298 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Something a little different this time; a clay sculpture of Fireball. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

And here's the favourite-pick from the poll; Seaflower! A truly awesome pony worthy of petite-ification. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginOut of curiosity anyone know if she came with a ribbon? Not sure if the Sunshine ponies did; I found a few pics of MIP ones and couldn't tell.  Anyway, I went with yellow because it works with her colour scheme and she came with a yellow comb.
And a group shot, they look pretty all together visitors can't see pics , please register or loginJazzie has a matte finish now; I wanted to see what a non-glossy option would look like. Surprisingly hard to find matte varnish that actually turns out matte!

Thanks everyone it's so nice to read your lovely comments. shelvesofwhimsy I use a satin paint-on varnish, (the issue I had was with a new spray varnish I was trying. Nothing wrong with spray varnish, I just had a mishap lol.)

UPDATE: I've started posting my work on deviantart, for anyone who's into that kind of thing. Feel free to follow me/take a look http://kookyraccoon.deviantart.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And they're done. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginHad a minor mishap with Nightglider's eye while trialling a new varnish (not the eye, ANYTHING but the eye  ) but fortunately it was fixable. Paint's a little darker near her eye but she still turned out super cute. Jazzie's itty bitty rollerskates: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginMaybe she was an odd pony to do, but I've always been a fan of Jazzie's colour scheme. I considered painting her without the skates but she just didn't look like Jazzie  Anyway, hope you guys like them.

I'll share a hint; no one's guessed the yellow one yet-she's a bit more obscure. but she has two colours in her hair. I would've given more detail (i.e mane colour) but it would be really obvious; and just thought it might be fun to see what people come up with as random guesses. ^_^ I've been delayed by a side-project I'm doing for a family member, but these girls are almost done and I promise to share pics when they're ready.
