Title: porcelain baby lotus and her new "special" friend (updated 4/3)
Post by: absol on March 29, 2012, 08:11:50 PM

::update::
And... just finished hairing my Disprosus Baby Pony. Disprosus is when animals grow two faces! It is super creepy >=) Included a comparison pic to a real pony, because the porcelain ones shrink a lot. Also added a tumbler made with G1 rubber stamps.


Thinking I will start single color/single glaze pony customs at around $40... and up for additional decoration, extra faces, etc.


They probably take several hours of total solid work. But there is tons of waiting in between, clay needs to dry, moisten, bake, etc.
Please sell me your pony stampers and broken pony porcelain figurines for my pony projects!  :lovey: visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Lastest porcelain pony... Song Dynasty Baby Lotus! With matching teacups for you and her! I made her for the staff and student show at the pottery studio that I intern at. (It is possible somepony noticed my pony hair panic the other day >_< ) I'm working on a mail order pamphlet for her as well as if she were a mail order pony you could get with horseshoe points and red rose tea UPCs =P

Post by: iwantcandy2 on March 30, 2012, 06:59:14 AM
That's gorgeous! I really love her hair, too, because it complements her design. The crackles on her body...is she covered with porcelain? How? That's just crazy.

Brilliant!  The execution is flawless!  Your work with molds and new pony materials is truly inspiring!

Post by: deeleelambbaa on March 30, 2012, 01:26:06 PM
so adorable, I would totes include her in my weekly tea parties, and Shaggy, my co-organizer head Teddy Bear says she'd fit right in... I wish I could have her! So cute!!  ^.^  I love how it still has hair plugs and such! Love it. So much. SO MUCH.

Are you going to be doing commissions for these in the future...????
Title: Re: porcelain baby lotus and matching teacup set

Just Amazing!!! Great work!
Title: Re: porcelain baby lotus and matching teacup set
Post by: absol on March 30, 2012, 09:48:19 PM
thanks everybody! i still have some color testing to do, but i plan to open up for customs in the not too distant future. the pony IS porcelain just like the cups, with celadon glaze.
These are some quick and dirty tutorials I put together about the process.
http://mylittlewiki.org/absol-site/plaster-tutorial.php (http://mylittlewiki.org/absol-site/plaster-tutorial.php)
http://mylittlewiki.org/absol-site/casting.php (http://mylittlewiki.org/absol-site/casting.php)


BTW! If anybody has a G1 porcelain figurine that is broken a bit and would like to sell/trade me, I would love to make molds of those so people could paint their own blank porcelain pony scenes. (The process could harm the figurine and I wouldn't want to risk an undamaged one)

Post by: hyenacub on March 30, 2012, 11:10:28 PM
Wow!  What an amazing and time consuming process...and fascinating!  I am enjoying it a great deal.
Title: Re: porcelain baby lotus and matching teacup set
Post by: little.fox on March 31, 2012, 12:42:21 AM
Omygosh! I'm so in awe of this, it looks crazy complicated!

Do you sell these? If so how much are they?
Title: Re: porcelain baby lotus and matching teacup set
Post by: MercuryStar on March 31, 2012, 11:02:14 AM
I will definitely have to add one (or more) of these to my collection someday!  They are so neat. :)
Title: Re: porcelain baby lotus and matching teacup set
Post by: Skelletonimp on March 31, 2012, 11:45:31 AM
Amazing! I hope I'll have the money to commission one someday! Do you have prices in mind yet?

I remember seeing your porcelain ponies before as well as your casting tutorial. Nice to see that you added the actual casting part, it starts to make sens in my head but I'll definitely never do anything like that!

How long does it usually take to make a full pony?

I love the matching teacups! So delicate :)
