Ambrosia was named for the sacred food of the Greek gods, which has been thought to refer to honey. She is my persona pony, inspired by the literal translation of my name. Ambrosia was born from one of the HQG1C ponies, the white glitter Gusty pose.

Ambrosia's base color is translucent white with sparkly silver glitter. Her natural body color leans toward a cool or snowy white, instead of a warm tone. She is rooted with Dollyhair Nylon in Dusty Rose, Fairy's Breath, Haunted Forest, Honeysuckle, and Tea Rose. Her mane has a 4-strand braid in it. One of her most unique features is the turquoise rose beads rooted along with her mane. Her tail has a matching turquoise bow.

Ambrosia's forehead is decorated with a honeycomb "crown" in shades of amber and metallic gold. The amber hue shows up better under direct light. Her eyes and cheek blush were left original from the HQG1C.

Here's a close-up of her three-dimensional symbol. It's a rose with three leaves, and a jeweled bee perching on the petals. The bee is anchored into the body for durability. I used translucent ink for the symbol, so the glitter shines through beneath it. The symbol was sealed with a thin matte finish. The design was drawn freehand.

I'm very happy with Ambrosia's overall design. Her symbol shines beautifully in the light! I tried a few different variations of mane pattern, and made a last-minute change from a full blend to the classic stripes. The tail is rooted, too, to keep the striped look.

She's so beautiful! I love how you made her symbol translucent, and used rooting to keep the tail stripes separate. She looks very elegant overall.

No, I don't have the sculpting skill for that! These are molded plastic beads, strung with wire which is rooted into the head similar to pony hair.
