Lily of the Valley Birthday Swap pony for Griffin

[kaelynn]

First off I have to say that I had the absolute worst time coming up with a design!  I have no idea why, but I'd come up with an idea, start to implement it and then lose interest.  The same thing was happening with other ponies at the same time so I think it was a "me" problem rather than a theme issue!   

Anyways, since Griffin's birthday is in May I finally came up with the idea of a green lily of the valley pony since Griffin said she liked green and lily of the valley is the birthflower for May.  Griffin also mentioned that she liked the asthetic of Red Velvet cake so I sculpted a little piece of red velvet cake with a tiny raspberry on top out of polymer clay for the pony to be holding and topped off the design with a "Happy Birthday" balloon sculpted from Ultralight clay and suspended by a thin wire.  Oh and she is rehaired in Poison Ivy, Envy and Starlight.

Here she is!

I had meant to curl her hair too but I forgot to do it before attaching the balloon and then I couldn't figure out how to do it without damaging the wire holding up the balloon!   

Ah well, Griffin says she likes her so that's all that matters!

She's very pretty! I love the hair blend and the cake slice looks delicious.

There she is.   Kaelynn did a fantastic job combining some of my likes to create this pony! I love the lily-of-the-valley theme and the beautiful combination of the different greens. And the cake looks good enough to eat!

I was wondering, did you use UV cure gloss on her eyes? They're so smooth and glossy and gorgeous!

Thank you so much everyone!

Griffin, I'm soooo glad you love her!  I really struggled with the feeling that I hadn't done enough on her but I didn't want to go too far with her either!  And yes, I used UV resin on her eyes!  I have a huge bottle of Triple Thick glaze which is what I've always used in the past but the last time I used it it dried all streaky and white so in a pinch I used the UV resin to try to fix those eyes and I loved the effect.  So now I'm using it all all my ponies!  It cures so hard and glossy.

A very beautiful pony! Lovely fresh colors! Beautiful eyes and symbol. That piece of cake looks really delicious!

At first, when I saw the picture of the pony and that balloon, I thought it was a real balloon!

Well I guess my balloon worked then!     And thank you!  The cake was so much fun to make!
