Just a question

[jelzar]

So once you guys have finnished a custom where do you put it? If your keeping it and if your selling it.


I have no room to display any at the moment so i keep mines in my wardrobe, its a good temperature and the light cant get to them. If i had commissioned one id find somewhere to display it but i only have sellers atm.

[True]

i usually only do customs on demand, like swaps or commissions, so usually as soon as im done with one its in the mail. storing them the way you are seems like it might be working, if you just want to keep them safe until they are sold?

[jelzar]

yeah, i'm just trying to keep them safe and un-damaged, although regardless of where thy were i wouldn't let them get damaged.
i just wondered if anyone had come up with any other solutions as to reducing the space they take up

[kittybethy]

Some times I give away the small ones.

 I usually keep most of them!

[naylastar]

I don't keep my own customs but The customs I own by other artists and on top of my tv or in my bedroom

[pantherchild]

I rotate them on my desk at work.  Right now, I have five custom ponies keeping me company during my work day (as well as a couple of play ponies in case kids come through.  So I can distract them from my precious ponies!) It's usually ponies that people have made for me w/o super fragile parts.

Any customs I make and keep go on my pony shelves at home.  Same with ponies made for me that aren't on my desk.

[jupiternwndrlnd]

my collection is displayed all over. tho i rarely keep one of my own, most of the ones in my house are by other artists.
i usually just display them wherever there is room...next to a framed photo, in front of the books on a shelf, night stand, in front of the TV, etc

[jelzar]

You all sound about the same then, Wherever there is room haha
i dont really plan on keeping my own customs unless i make one for myself for a reason, but just the ones hanging arround waiting to be sold.


pantherchild good idea about keeping ones for play arround, it would be terrible for the customs to be tortured or broken

Have shelves for display ponies, a dedicated one and mantel piece for made. None in direct light so hopefully a good place.

Yeah...plus I totally have a custom that has pieces of glass attached to her which would be hilarious but career-limiting for the boss's kids to get their hands on....

Hilariously, there are about 6 other ponies in the office.  Their magnet feet make the easy and fun to hide...

Here she is on the old Arena: http://www.mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=3412099.html

The swap she's from was the Literal Swap, where you took a pony and made her name or symbol more literal (I did Ember for my partner: http://brambleworks.com/craft/mylittlepony.php?pony=ember ).  So, Wagnerwakka made me a Moonstone who is covered in sparkly crystal.  It's not super sharp, but it's sharp enough that a small child would probably hurt itself. 

[jelzar]

OOo they are both lovely.
I was imagining a shard of glass coming out of the ponys back or something, but this is really effective.
I can see what you mean by a small child may get hurt
