Title: Painted Corkboard for pony pins
Post by: Stellaluna on June 23, 2018, 11:21:06 AM

During this past pony fair I was able to collect a ton more pony pins. I've had a plain corkboard stored under my bed for a while and last night I decided it was time to put it to good use! But first, I pulled out my acrylic paints and decided to make it nice. It only required 5 colors; purple, blue, white, yellow, and bronze for the border. Mixing colors in acrylic is way harder than in watercolors which is what I'm more used to. I like the end result though! What do you think?

I love it! So dreamy, reminds me of early G1 artwork where they are standing on clouds :heart: It's so pretty, the pins display very nicely on it!

It turned out absolutely stunning, and you have a wonderful collection of pins, too!

I love the soft, dreamy look - it does remind me of watercolours, actually, so well done!

What a cool idea! I'm getting my first pony pin sometime this month, I may do something similar.
