Title: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! SHIPPING DEADLINE OCTOBER 1ST!
Post by: red_velvet_rose on June 16, 2012, 09:24:45 PM: AND WE ARE DONE! ALL BOXES HAVE BEEN SHIPPED AND RECEIVED! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :dance: :sunny: :joy: :joy: :joy: :green: :green: :grouphug: :party: :choc: :straw: :banana: :apple: :pineapple: :broc: :cuke: :carrot: :bacon: :cheese: :newpony:

PONIES ARE ARRIVING! EVERYONE PLEASE POST YOUR PONIES IN OUR SPECIFIED THREAD - http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,310605.0.html (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,310605.0.html)

ALTERNATE REHAIR SWAP

For ideas and the source of this insanity - http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,293292.0.html

Sign ups until July 8, 2012
Partners assigned before or on: July 10, 2012
Progress pictures required: August 31, 2012
Final check in: September 14, 2012
Shipping: October 1, 2012

1. You must have 5 5-star arena feedback and no 1/2-star arena feedback.

2. You must have been an arena member for at least 3 months before sign ups are over.

3. You must have pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs and/or re-hairs to show the quality of your work. This is a skill based swap and I need to know how to pair you.

4. Along with your sign up, you must send a list of 20-25 ponies that you would love to see with spanking new hair. Please try to stick to ponies that are relatively common and likely to already be in someone's bait box, or at least easy to find on the secondhand market. A word on value: Do not ask for a re-haired Mimic, you know better than that. Keep the ponies you suggest valued at roughly $15-$20 or less in good condition. If you want to do more than one pony, yay! If you don't want to do more than one pony, that's fine too! This is where this is a little more like a Holiday Swap than a custom swap in that you can do as many as you want while staying around $15-$20 or less spend on the baits.

4a. If you want to alter symbols, fix flaws, etc. Go right ahead. The main point is that we should still be able to tell who the pony was originally. Making Applejack's apple red or green is fine. Changing them completely to oranges, not so much. That being said, you do not HAVE to do anything but re-hair. If you want to have more than one partner (ie - guarantee that you receive more than one re-haired pony), let me know and I will enter you twice.

5. Ship on time! Life happens, as we all know. Let me know as SOON as you realize you will be shipping late.

6. No shipping early! Shipping addresses will be withheld to prevent this. The exception will be when your partner is ready to ship as well.

7. Be prepared with progress pics at progress date. Since this is an alternate rehair swap and not a typical custom swap, the dates are a little, shall we say, faster than the usual custom swap.

8. Send me pictures of your completed re-hair before you ship.

9. Let me know right away when you ship your pony and when you receive one.

10. Do not let anyone know who your partner is. It is a secret.

11. Extras are not required, but are welcome. However, do not go overboard with these. This is about the ponies. A small treat/gift or 2 is fine and good but not too much.

12. This swap is mainly a G1-swap. Be mindful of that when listing ponies you would like to see re-haired. Having a few G3s or G4s in the mix is OK, but the list should be primarily G1s.

13. You must be in no more than 2 other swaps (total of 3).

14. The title of your PM should be Legolas, so I know you read the rules.

15. PM the sign up form to me (red_velvet_rose) by the sign up deadline.

16. You must check in for the final check in. If you do not check in, I do not give you the address of your partner, nor will you be receiving a pony.

17. You need to be able to produce proof of shipping when asked. You need to hold onto your receipt until your partner confirms that they have received their pony. I also highly recommend delivery confirmation for those not shipping internationally.

Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: Salli on June 18, 2012, 11:11:22 AM: Ok, I can't stop thinking about this swap, and since I wouldn't have to sculpt or paint (much if any) It should be okay, right??? :lookround:

I'll fill out and send in my form today, first a visit to Strawberry Reef to decide on ponies I'd love to have re-haired....

and just for inspiration, here's the Autumn Gusty I just rehaired
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Question: Are we allowed to do symbol repaints (just a change of color) or is this strictly a rehair?

Post by: Salli on June 18, 2012, 11:51:50 AM: Ok, form sent in. Did you see my question about symbol painting? Is this just a rehair or can we repaint the symbols to match?

Oh, and would you mind putting a swap icon in front of your thread name so I can find it? You also might ask the mod over the Handy Dandy Swap Listings to stickie it there.

Post Merge: June 18, 2012, 12:42:15 PM

Darn it! I made the mistake of cruising through the alternate hair thread and now I am in obsessed over a few ponies there...

Also, someone (hint,hint) should host an alternate pose swap sometime (subtle hint)...

Post by: Raindrop on June 18, 2012, 08:28:47 PM: This looks like a lot of fun! While I echo the question about repainting, I wouldn't want to make the swap too complicated, especially since some are joining expecting not to do more than a rehair. Can we use tinsel if we want? **sorts through hair box and plots**

ETA: I forgot I have THERMAL hair! This is going to be a blast!
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: red_velvet_rose on June 19, 2012, 06:09:37 AM: I'm think color alterations to symbols would be fine, especially if it's to augment the new hair color. And since we will be using mostly bait ponies, any alterations to restore would be fine as well (touch ups to symbols/eyes, etc). We just still want the pony to be recognizable as herself. I imagine thermal hair and tinsel would be excellent additions to make if you are so inclined. :)

Great! I may not even need to at all, depending on the pony and what colors my partner likes. I would do the same thing I did with Autumn Gusty and just paint/glitter the exact same symbol in shape.

Yay more people!!!

Join us Aerosmith_Gal! :D I can't wait to see everyone's ponies! I signed up for this because I knew I would regret it so much if I didn't when the alternate hair brag thread was posted.

I know how you feel, TXGal, but I figured, I only have to bathe and pull out the hair, then put the hair in and touch up the symbol if needs be. Ta da!! Minus hair-shipping time it should be so fast. I recently cleaned and rehaired a Daddy Apple Delight in less than a day. And I just know how mad I would be that I didn't sign up when everyone starts showing off their rehairs...

I believe if you have shipped already for a swap then it doesn't count towards your total, but check with one of the Customs Mods to be sure.

Post by: Uninu on June 22, 2012, 10:52:16 PM: Ok, I got the answer: the swap is done once the participant's partner has received their pony and the rule is pretty strict, one can't join more than three :)

Hooray!! Ohmygosh so many awesome people are joining! I just saw Pythia joined....*dies*!! Her Poison Ivy Lady Flutter still gives me goosebumps:)
This swap is going to be so much fun. So are we only supposed to send 1 rehaired pony, or can we send more????

Can't wait to get started! I have some fantastic ponies that desperately need a hair make-over.

Post by: TimeDance on June 26, 2012, 09:24:46 AM: Ooh, I want to do this. Hopefully I'll find time to fill out the form this week.

Any thoughts/feelings/rules about using ponies that aren't completely mint in the body? I know we'll all try to find the best looking pony we can, but not always can a proper pony be found with manky hair but perfect body. Are tiny scuffs or marks on the body okay?

I just don't want to disappoint a super picky swap buddy if I happen to not be able to find a perfect body.

Post by: Uninu on June 26, 2012, 09:38:02 AM: I know I wouldn't mind some marks to the body :) I doubt that finding a good rehair candidate with perfect body but lousy hair would be easy. Possible yes, but not necessarily easy. It is a good question, I would love to hear what others think.

Ooh, I want to do this. Hopefully I'll find time to fill out the form this week.

Any thoughts/feelings/rules about using ponies that aren't completely mint in the body? I know we'll all try to find the best looking pony we can, but not always can a proper pony be found with manky hair but perfect body. Are tiny scuffs or marks on the body okay?

I just don't want to disappoint a super picky swap buddy if I happen to not be able to find a perfect body.

I pretty much just encouraging people to list common ponies, so it will be easy to find ponies with decent bodies, but not so good hair. Ponies with curly hair in particular tend to get all frizzy even if their bodies are fine. I have several of Rainbow Curl baits with good bodies and AWFUL hair. That being said, you may restore the bodies in any way needed. Give them a bath, retouch paint, etc.

I am not a picky collector at all. Most of ponies in my herd have some form of imperfections. I'd rather have a manky pony be rehaired than one that has a pristine body but bad hair. That is kind of a general rule I have; only rehair ponies who's body flaws seriously detract from their overall value.

Post by: babyblueducky on June 26, 2012, 01:48:09 PM: i would so love to do this, but i would have to buy whatever pony i would have to rehair. i dont bait g1s, dont have any to bait. i will have to get back to this before the deadline. i have so many i would love to see with new colored hair, especially my favorite, bow tie.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: Raindrop on June 26, 2012, 01:50:04 PM: I'm not picky, either. I don't like cancer or serious ink/highlighter marks, but I'm not particular about small flaws. I figure they're toys, and flaws show they were well-loved. :) That being said, I would try to provide my partner with one that had a near-mint body, or only minor flaws if I knew the person wasn't picky, since I know other collectors are sometimes more particular than I am.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: Salli on June 26, 2012, 09:40:16 PM: I definitely don't mind flaws. I don't usually bait restore-able g1's usually so partner, I don't mind if you use an imperfect body :)

Post by: Uninu on June 27, 2012, 06:21:26 AM: Rainbowjuice, to me picking only 25 was hard, I would have had about 35 ponies in my list :D I found it easiest to find possible rehairing candidates to my list by looking at an identification guide that had prices in it. (Myrskytär's identification guide, it's in Finnish though).

Looking at ponies to put my list together- I noticed there are several with the bright pink body and the turquois hair. That has to be my least favorite color combination. Followed by the dark purple with the lemon hair. Looking forward to all the different new combinations people come up with!

I did the same thing. I was like, "Hmmm, 20 ponies? I dunno."
Yah, scrolling through Dream Valley and Strawberry Reef I came up with like 30 in 10 minutes. There are so many ponies I would like to see in colors I love.

Question: are we allowed to do little symbol touch ups? I like, when i alt re-haired, to match the symbols a little. Just some other colors. Would that be allowed? I'm happy to do 2 re-hair, but just for one partner please. I can't afford 2 time shipping as shipping is really high here and i could not afford it.

You can certainly do two for the same partner to save in shipping. :) We're operating more along the guidelines of the Holiday Swap insofar as how many ponies are done. So long as you don't go crazy and rehair like five ponies for one person, knock yourself out!

And you can certainly do touch-ups and small alterations to the pony. We just need to be able to tell who she is. :)

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?

Heeee!! I'm so excited to get started, I literally can't wait to start:)

G1/G3.
Can't think of any faves ATM. Just like colorful/bright. Hate tinsel.

bow tie

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on July 04, 2012, 06:35:18 PM: Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow?

I love all of them, so I honestly can't choose! A rainbow version of a normal pony would be cool, and I love monochrome ponies in either solid colors or blends. Do whatever you please!

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?

I like ponies with hearts, food themes, astronomy/stars, and ribbons. I also really love pegasus ponies.

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)

I like nylon and saran the best, but I'm open to anything you wish to try out. :)

Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow?

Any! Solid colours, multi-colours, I think as long as they suit the pony and keep in with her release/theme (such as rainbow hair for rainbow ponies!) I'm happy with anything! I'm also happy to have ponies with tinsel/uv change/thermal too! :biggrin:

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?

G1 - I like the food themed ponies, ponies with scents, flutters, big poofy hair (perfume puff) and the softness of so softs. ^.^

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)

Only ever encountered Dollyhair nylon (as in used and received as customs) - can't tell you what the others are like (texture/workability) and I won't be disappointed to find out! :D

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?

1st edition Rainbow ponies (as they were the first multi-coloured ponies I encountered in childhood and their hair really 'popped' for me), the Candy Cane ponies, ponies with streaks (like Powder/Glory/Wig Wam and Twinkle Eye ponies, Sweet Pop, Gingerbread and Masquerade especially) eee I can't think! >_< I really like them all - down to go 'ol Applejack and Bubbles! :blush:

G1 babies (I don't really collect the adults) :3

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)
I like them all, but I really like the softer one(s) (is that mohair?:p)

Baby Suprise is my favorite ^^ and I like the bright colourd ones :)

Aaaaaa, can't pick! I like them all.

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)
Dollyhair and mohair are my favorites. I also like tinsel.

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?
The rainbow ponies and Baby Sapphire, I like the combo of royal blue and silver.

Post by: Sanadaookami on July 05, 2012, 10:48:03 AM: Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow?
I prefer multiple colors- I'm not fond of solid hair colors or hair and body color being the same :/ I like tinsel as long as its not the transparent stuff, and long curly hair.

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?
G1, especially princess ponies :) But I like all the gens- yes even those 3.5 oddities...

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)
I like dolly hair, but like my own yarn hair over mohair and have never had kanekalon...

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?
Princess Serena/ Baby cuddles (light mint green+pink)
Princess Moondust/ Red Roses (yellow+pink)
Fizzy
any of the rainbow curl ponys
Baby Princess Sparkle (white+pink)

My question- hair curly or straight? Long or short?
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: Salli on July 05, 2012, 02:14:09 PM: Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow? solid or with a stripe, but do whatever you like

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite? g1's, Boys, any shy unicorn/pegasus pose

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other) I like silky hair like nylon,saran, etc.. mohair sounds fun though. I don't usually prefer yarn.

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos? I have no clue. I usually think the hasbro designs are very sherbet or garish colors (not that I don't love my ponies!) I like to see kind of a more 'mature' color scheme on ponies (if that makes any sense) like deep fall colors. I am also a sucker for white like Princess Tiffany.

Hair length: Your call. I can't decide :) I usually like straight hair, but I also don't have any curly-haired ponies so it's hard to say.

One partner please, I need to catch up on my commissions and swaps before taking any more on :D
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: Raindrop on July 05, 2012, 03:00:36 PM: iI'm very excited, too. I am getting ready to sell some "exotic" ponies who need rehairs (GnS, Euros, etc.), but I am waiting until I get my partner in case he/she would like one of the ones I have.

Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow? I like the 4-color rainbow of G1s, along with similar 3-4 color combos in both G1s and G3s. Solid colors are pretty, too, especially when they coordinate with symbols and/or provide a striking contrast with the body color. Sometimes I like a pretty monochrome as well.

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite? G1s, especially the shy pose. I can tolerate most ponies of any generation except the G3.5s.

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other) I like Dollyhair nylon best because it's identical to original MLP hair. I also supplement with UV or heat sensitive Saran for special effects.

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos? G1 Sunlight, Crumpet, Nightlight, Mimic; G2 Copper Glow, Princess Sapphire; G3 Port-o-Bella; G4 Plumette; a lot of the (Nirvana) G1 Argie rainbow ponies have pretty combos as well.

I like one solid color or a stripe or a different color mixed in. I think a rainbow of light pastel colors would look pretty, but I haven't attempted it yet.

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?
Wingers. I think that is probably really obvious:)

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)
I prefer Dollyhair, but I've used kanekalon and find it harder to style.

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?
I like yellow/blue, pink/blue, purple/silver color combos.

hair curly or straight? Long or short?
Oh either straight or curly:) I love a pony rocking some serious curls. As far as length, I love long hair ponies!!

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on July 05, 2012, 03:58:51 PM: Oh, I didn't answer that last question! XD I like all kinds of hairstyles! I love curly hair and long hair especially. :)
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: babyblueducky on July 05, 2012, 06:47:17 PM: Hair curly or straight? whichever looks best based on the ponies personality and character.
Long or short? not super long and not bob short. normal length is also fine.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: reyl on July 06, 2012, 08:15:18 AM: Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow?
I am flexible!

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?
Unicorns! TEs! and Flutters :)

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)
I've only used Dollyhair, and I love it. I'm open to other brands, but no mohair or yarn please.

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?
Hasbro ponies have too much pink! My favourite combos are yellow/red, Green/yellow, Red/black, Blue/black

hair curly or straight? Long or short?
I prefer straight and long, but not full-hank long. I like to play with their hair :) Curls are pretty too, but then I can't touch it!
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! TAKING SIGN-UPS!
Post by: TimeDance on July 06, 2012, 08:59:13 AM: Woo! Only one more day left for sign ups! I think we have a good, long list of people participating. Pretty please I'm hoping we can all post the ponies we recieved in a single thread so we can find them all. I want to see EVERYONE'S! LOL

And these questions are a great idea to help us know more about our swap partners!

Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow?
I would honestly be disappointed if I received a single color on my swap. I'd like at least two colors. I myself plan on getting fancy with the colors.

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?
G1s!!! I love adults more than babies. My absolute favorite pony is Strawberry Surprise. I also like Pegasas ponies and ponies with food on them.

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)
I've used very little else beside the Dollyhair nylon pony hair. I really like the texture, the colors and how easily it styles.

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?
I'm happy with whatever looks good, though I favor rich colors over pastels. I do dislike that pink body/turquoise hair combo Hasbro is so fond of. I do like ponies with green like the Cool Breeze Winger. So sad there aren't that many green ponies.

hair curly or straight? Long or short?
I love the long hair. I love the candy cane curles. But I'm also happy with straight or wavy so I can brush it and play with it.

I like all styles ^_^
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! LAST TWO DAYS FOR SIGN-UPS!
Post by: red_velvet_rose on July 06, 2012, 10:51:27 AM: Everyone please let me know if you would like TWO partners (either because you feel the need to kill your fingers or because you want to make sure you receive more than one rehair). I know Pythia and Xaniss specifically said they wanted to double up; who else is up for it?

Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow? Um... all of the above? It really depends on the pony. I do love hair blends and thin stripes of different colors.

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite? G1s; I'd love to see Perfume Puffs with non-puffy hair, love babies in any way shape or form, love the tropical ponies and the MGR ponies too.

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other) Big Dollyhair fan here.

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos? TE Bright Eyes, Masquerade, Paradise

Post by: hokuspokus on July 06, 2012, 11:07:09 AM: Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow?

It really depends on the pony my partner's choosing to do. Some pony's look good with one color, others with more. But if i have to choose, i like multipule colors! I like tinsel too!

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?

G1. I specifically like Seabreeze's pose and almost all babies (except baby Cuddles pose..)

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)

I'm only familiar with dollyhair, so i can't answer this question!

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?

The tropical ponies, baby rainbow ponies and lots of Dutch & German ponies (they Hasbro too ^.^)

EDIT: Only 1 partner please!

Long or short hair?
Normal lenght that Hasbro used for ponies. Not ridiculous long but no bob either please!

Post by: Unicorn_pops on July 06, 2012, 04:01:35 PM: I like long hair and it can either be straight or curly. I don't like yarn hair though.

Post by: Xaniss on July 07, 2012, 02:31:27 AM: hair curly or straight? Long or short?

This question was put in after I answered! ^.^

But I think curls (either tight or loose/wavy) are gorgeous on ponies, but I also love straight hair too! Depends on the pony type I guess. Hasbro length is good but I also like it a little longer too (like touching the ground, but not uber long!)

Post by: Pythia on July 07, 2012, 05:10:48 AM: Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow?

Anything, but I'm not a big fan of even stripes. I like blends, mostly solid with little streaks, stuff like that!

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?

G1. So softs, Deamr Beauties, wingers.

What brand of hair do you prefer?

Dollyhair Nylon

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?

Hair: Whatever her creator desires. For some reason I can do curls in existing hair, but when I try to do it on rehair, it goes pear shaped on me.
Personally, I like regular length or a bit longer. DD varies in her thoughts. Some need long, some she wants me to cut. I say all this because in her 7 yo mind, any incoming ponies are shared/hers. KIWM? :)

Hahaha yes!! I have 3 daughters: 7,6 and almost 2 and they are all pony crazy! They know whenever a package comes to the house, 99% of the time it's a pony!! Too funny:).

Hokus, I honestly would NEVER be disappointed in anything someone decided to make for me. Ever. Don't worry so much my dear, this swap is based off our mutual love of rehaired ponies, not professional hair styling skills:)
Ok, Kanekalon hair is more stiff and isn't as silky as DH, but it is still cool to work with.
This sweetie has been rehaired with kanekalon

@Xaniss: i think it's more propriate to find something from your partners list, since they should be common pony's, i don't think it'll costs too much to get a bait one ;) And your partner made the list because he/she really wanted one of the ponies on that list. Here's a qoute out of the original post at page 1. I think everyone should get a bait for that amount. Good luck everyone! :hug:

'Along with your sign up, you must send a list of 20-25 ponies that you would love to see with spanking new hair. Please try to stick to ponies that are relatively common and likely to already be in someone's bait box, or at least easy to find on the secondhand market. A word on value: Do not ask for a re-haired Mimic, you know better than that. Keep the ponies you suggest valued at roughly $15-$20 or less in good condition. If you want to do more than one pony, yay! If you don't want to do more than one pony, that's fine too! This is where this is a little more like a Holiday Swap than a custom swap in that you can do as many as you want while staying around $15-$20 or less spend on the baits.'
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: rybett on July 10, 2012, 05:27:08 AM: I don't tend to have G1 baits laying around. Soo, I found a lovely Arena member with several choices. As well as several G3s I needed. ;)
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: red_velvet_rose on July 10, 2012, 05:40:13 AM: Like the Pirate Code, the list just guidelines more than actual rules. :) Personally, I'd be more than happy with whatever re-hair my partners sends. I was just tossing out ideas in my list.

That being said, it shouldn't be hard at all to find baits on ebay or from other Arena members. I don't happen to have any of the baits on my partner's list either, so off to ebay with me!

Post by: Raindrop on July 10, 2012, 06:39:48 AM: I don't personally consider my list hard-and-fast. My list would probably have been longer if I had had more time to put it together. I guess my main preference is for the general kinds of ponies and poses I used on my list, and none with orange bodies (peach is okay, and I like orange-ish hair colors like Passionfruit; but for some reason orange is my least favorite color in pony bodies).

I thought it was understood that our partners would find one or more of the ponies we listed - either ponies they mighyt already have lying around OR ponies they could buy at a reasonable price.

Post by: TimeDance on July 10, 2012, 10:52:34 AM: Yay! Got my partner! So excited! So I thought I had a pretty good rehair pony selection in my bait box. I thought at least one would be on my partner's list. And as it turned out, I didn't have a single pony on that list. I was like Really bait box? You have failed me! (Not a complaint on my swap partner whatsoever. Her list was lovely.)

It just so happened, right at the same time I was working on a purchase with a seller and she was like Hey I have this pony, too. Would you consider buying it?

And It was totally the pony I needed! I immediately had a rehairing idea so I was *GASP* YES PLEASE! GIVE ME PONY! So the pony goddesses smiled on me anyway. LOL

I wish everyone equal luck in finding their ponies for their partners.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on July 10, 2012, 11:33:43 AM: As soon as I got my partners, I went to eBay and ordered some baits. The only usable pony I had in my bait box wasn't on either of my partners' lists, and I was a bit hesitant to give it out anyway because it was TE and I know not everyone likes those. Everything else in my bait box has already been customized to some extent, so I can't use any of those. XD

Though, I did do a bit of a dumb move and order the hair almost immediately after ordering the ponies... I wish I had waited a bit longer to think, because I had an awesome idea of what I could do with one of them, and now it's too late because I already ordered the hair. >.< I'm sure my partner will love what I initially chose, but I still really wish I had waited.

Post by: Salli on July 10, 2012, 12:11:47 PM: My list is pretty hard and fast but I never saw a shy pose unicorn or pegasus I didn't like. I think part of the fun of a swap is hunting down the perfect bait/hair/etc... I have a couple of baits that were on my partner's list, but her color choice inspired me for a hair color on a different pony she listed and I MUST DO THAT ONE. Holy cow, none of them are colors I like usually, but I am already smitten on this pony. She's going to be hard to give up, but I can't wait for my partner to get her :D

My favorite thing about swaps is the joy of knowing I made someone's day/week/year by hunting down one of her favorite ponies :D and making her look AMAZING!

If you pick one of the poses I like, even though my color preferences are kind of picky, I will probably love the pony at first sight. I always think I don't like something and then a pony changes my mind XD.

Post by: zzzova on July 10, 2012, 04:20:00 PM: I hope my list wasn't too hard :"baby surprise or any other g1 baby" :lol: and about the condition of the pony: I'm not that picky, but i dont like damage to the plastic (chewmark and such)

I dont have that many G1 baits, and the ones I do have need a total make over/full body paint, plus they wern't on the list xD but I just found some ponies >:D now I just need the buy the hair too ^^
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: rybett on July 10, 2012, 05:15:51 PM: Got pony ordered. Got hair ordered. Got extra ponies and extra hair cause some swap host gave me a fab idea for another rehair. Good thing I learned how to cut my own needles.
Forgot something in the initial app. I'm allergic to wool as well, so no mohair please.

Post by: Pythia on July 10, 2012, 06:44:52 PM: If anyone needs baits, I have a whole heap in my box, and I had like, 5 from each of my partner's lists. So let me know if you want me to have a look and see if I have anything on your partner's list. :)
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: galaxyMLP on July 10, 2012, 07:02:47 PM: I never answered these questions so my swap partner might be wondering my preferences!

Do you prefer one solid mane and tail color, two colors or a whole rainbow?

I like more than one color usually, I like the candycane type stripes and the rainbow ponies too. I also like hair blends.

Who or what genre of ponies are your favorite?

G1, I think birthflower ponies really need new hair but I had such a long list I hope it wont be too hard to find any!

What brand of hair do you prefer? (ex, Dollyhair, mohair, kanekalon, other)

I really dont mind. I've worked with dollyhair and even play hair taken from dollarstore toys.

Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?

I really like moondancers colors but I wish they were darker. I also like the pastel pallets that some ponies have. I like when hair matches the symbol. My favorite color combinations are also themed like beaches (teals, blues), sunsets (reds, oranges, firey pinks), night time, (dark blues, light blues, deep purples)

Long or short hair?
I like the normal length of pony hair! But longer is nice too. I wouldnt want it any shorther though. I like curls and straight. I dont particularly like wavy hair like pina coladas.

I hope this helps my swap partner and I shoudve posted sooner!
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: Honeycomb on July 10, 2012, 07:04:06 PM: I got a question, do we have to use the colours we listed as favourite colours?
I know that I don't want my partner to just focus on those colours, because they don't suit each pony! So I'd prefer my partner to just go ahead and decide on a nice colour combo of their own.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: rybett on July 10, 2012, 07:08:36 PM: I can't match colors to save my life, so whatever my partner dreams up is cool. Having said that, I do know that what I ordered will work for what I want to create, so no worries there.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: Xaniss on July 10, 2012, 08:26:58 PM: Many thanks for the clarification of the list ponies! :D Please don't fret that I *don't* have any of my partners ponies... I do have a few (about 3) for one of my partners, but only one pony from my other partner's list - hence my question, but it's all good!

I so might take you up on that one :lol:

I did win a bunch of baities on ebay, but when I received the 'favourite colours' list from my partners, I realised I didn't have any hair in the colours one of my partner likes! >_< So I'm off to do a hair-shop too! I have some great colour-combo ideas for both my partners (going by the colours each prefer) but I need to stew on what ponies (from each list) would suit a particular pony! :)

Post by: Unicorn_pops on July 11, 2012, 12:19:08 PM: The colors I chose were just answered because the question was asked. But I like ALL colors and whatever my partner wants to use on the pony is Great with me! I'm not picky on ponies off my list either, all that I ask is PLEASE make it a baby or winger. I'm limited to space and they are easy to find space for, plus Super Cute :)

Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: red_velvet_rose on July 11, 2012, 04:02:12 PM: However many you like as long as you don't spend more than approximately $15 on the bait(s), not including shipping. Give it your best guess if you're using baits you already have. I figure that means anywhere from 1 to 4 ponies. That's why I asked people who wanted to guarantee they get more than one pony have more than one partner. :)

Post by: reyl on July 11, 2012, 04:18:47 PM: I know I find this question not quite helpful: Which Hasbro ponies have your most favorite color combos?

I'd like to know a few of my partner's favourite colour combos... without having a specific hasbro reference since their combos are what I'm trying to get away from on this...

So what I'd like to know is more like this, using myself as an example... My favourite colour combinations are... red/orange/yellow, red/black, blue/black, Green/white, yellow/white, purple/blue. And my least favourite colours are fading pink and Hearthrob. Hope others will do something like this :)

I asked the question only because I wanted to get an idea about what color combinations are most attractive to people:) Some collectors love really bright and loud hair colors, like Shady's hair for example, vs a more muted color palate with softer pastel colors. If my partner prefers the latter, I'm not going to buy Electric Banana or Black Magic.

Post by: michelle53 on July 11, 2012, 05:53:40 PM: Oh no PandaBerry! Ok, then lets post our top 5 favorite colors we have used and 5 that we have always wanted to use. I'm going to use Dollyhair color reference for my 5:)

3) Mermaid
4) Golden Goddess
5) Envy

Colors I would love to try:
1) Fairy's Breath
2) Lemon Drop
3) Raspberry Nymph

So tell us yours:)

Post by: rybett on July 11, 2012, 05:54:23 PM: What Panda said. Except for the last bit. More blue/teal/red type of gal. And hate tinsel! However, I am finding that bits of Sunlight/Starlight add the shimmer without the crinkle.

1) Blizzard
2) Sugarberry
3) Mulberry Crush
4) daiquiri ice
5) buttercream
6) kitten
7) hot lips!
8) bobby blue
9) cherry pie

Colors I would love to try:
1) sour apple martini - ALWAYS SOLD OUT D:
I've tried just about everything else XD
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: reyl on July 11, 2012, 06:26:15 PM: I adore Cherry Pie :) I've recently acquired some Starlight and it's SO SHINY <3 My favourite look is several shades of the same colour, or pretty much any colour combined with black or white. I don't have any ponies with more natural tones, so that might be cool (like browns and blonds). Hematite is *gorgeous* and I haven't seen it in person yet. I'd like to have a pony with Lemonade hair, but it seems to be sold out all the time.

Really what I'd like most is for my partner to be creative and be excited about what they are making. And hopefully to make it stand out and be different from the usual Hasbro pony hair colours.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like the question wasn't useful at all, because it is. It just wasn't specific enough for what *I* wanted to know at the time. :)

I really second this - on reflection of what I put for 'fav colours' I was really vague for my partners (shades of blue/purple and green :huh:), as I really love many colour combos on ponies - for example I love Glow (the winger) she is a darker blue with fading pink hair - gorgeous! But in essence I don't like pink - never wear it, won't buy anything pink-coloured but I like pink on ponies!! I also adore Sunburst/Fireball (the Mountain boys), Candy Apple, Masquerade (typically I usually don't like the green/yellow combo - Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi! Oi! Oi! :| - but the colours suit her), Chief, Bubbles, Windy, Trickles - heck even Applejack!

I've seen custom ponies that were bright (neon) purple with electric banana hair - and the pony looked awesome! I'm really easy and happy with monochromo ponies (especially blue/purple - even yellow or green), pastel ponies, bright ponies, rainbow haired ponies, single colour, streaks (large or small) - anything. I hope that helps clear up some confusion with whoever poor soul gets me! ;)

On another train of thought, I do want to throw this out to every-pony: Do you like hair fragrance?

I made a dollyhair order... around the 23rd of June (still waiting to be received :cry: <-- Getting impatient!) that does include two hair smells and I was toying with the idea of making some sweet-smelling hair (if it fits with my chosen pony's personality/theme that is ;)) so does anyone have any objections to hair fragrance? :)

Oh and in relation to the colours used vs colours I'd love to use.. I'm a total newbie with hair but will say:

In no particular order, the colour's I've used that are my favorite:
1) Mermaid
2) Amethyst
3) Sour Grapes
4) Heart Throb
5) White Witch

Colours I would love to try:
1) Fairy's Breath
2) Lemonade (sold out :cry:)
3) Wisteria! (again sold out!)
4) Daiquari Ice
5) Venom
6) Evil Enchantress
7) Sugar Plum
8) Razzle Dazzle (who else thinks of Madame Razz when this name pops up?? :P)
9) Blueberry Muffin
10) Starlight

I like both curly and straight hair, and I like it factory length to a little longer.

My favorite color combinations are green/pink, yellow/gold, purple/green, green/gold, and near-rainbow combinations of four colors, although my tastes aren't limited to those combos--I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever inspiration my partner dreams up :) .

I love the colors Passionfruit, Daquiri Ice, Dusty Rose, Mulberry Crush, Blueberry Muffin, Envy, and Forget-Me-Not.

I've wanted to try some glow-in-the-dark, the blue thermal hair RetroDolls has, Key Lime, Deadly Nightshade.... I could go on for quite a while. I wonder if Dollyhair will get in that new shipment before this swap is over.

Now, I have a question: To my dearest partner: If I can't find all the ponies on your list, are you ok with getting different ponies, such as collector poses, shy poses, etc?
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: Xaniss on July 12, 2012, 03:17:53 PM: Well, since we don't know WHO our partner(s) are... I'll say I'm not concerned if I receive a pony that ISN'T on my list - I thought I kept to a pretty common list with ponies that were easier to find... but I guess everyone has that same train of thought :lol:

I (personally) would prefer shy pose over collector pose if that helps my partners out! :)

On another note - I've ordered up supplies and now I need to play the waiting-to-arrive game >_<

As long as I get one pony form my list I am happy with any substitutes for the extras :) I do recommend checking my wishlist to see who I am looking for as I will be more excited to get them, or my ponydex to make sure its not some pony I already own. with the exception of princess ponies, they are always welcome :D Also finding the whole list- That's a lot of ponies for someone!

Good question on the fragrance. I ordered some too! Personally, I think a stinky pony would be fun. Anyone else?

I like smelly ponies XD I really like sweet or floral smells though.

Hm, well I've said it before but I'll say it again - I really only want ponies on my list (that was kind of the point of making the list). I know some I listed are harder to find that others, but I really cannot imagine my partner not being able to find a single pony from it.

Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: galaxyMLP on July 13, 2012, 10:54:08 PM: I feel the same way as others have stated. I purchased one bait and found another that I think my partner would like that isn't on the list. I hope it ends up being ok! :) As for colors that I like, I'd just like to see the person interpret the pony however they see best. I don't want anyone to be limited. And feel free to choose another pony not on my list. I just put down some that I thought might be in need of something new. But if you have something in mind, by all means go for it! I haven't worked with too many dolly hair colors so I can't make a list there.

Now, I have a question: To my dearest partner: If I can't find all the ponies on your list, are you ok with getting different ponies, such as collector poses, shy poses, etc?

Hm, well I've said it before but I'll say it again - I really only want ponies on my list (that was kind of the point of making the list). I know some I listed are harder to find that others, but I really cannot imagine my partner not being able to find a single pony from it.

Same here. Altough i really listed common ponies :) so those cannot be hard to find i think!

PS: Got a box full of ponies today! Getting started today! I think my partner will get 2 or 3. I can't wait to see who has me as their partner :D i am soooo curious!!!
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: Xaniss on July 14, 2012, 06:43:41 AM: LOL Hokus! I reckon we're all curious who our partner is and what we'll be getting! :woot:

There is one issue I personally didn't factor into this swap-thing: waiting for supplies to hit my shores! >_<

Even though I've ordered up this past week after the partners were given out, I'll need to wait at least two weeks for the supplies to get here... :(

*sigh* I really don't like waiting.. especially when I'm staring at my partner's list of preferences of ponies and colour combos and new ideas keep popping in my head - after I've already made a list of ponies/colours to do! :huh: I've had an awesome idea today (well I think it's awesome) for one particular pony (as the colour scheme matches her name) but I can't seem to find a bait of her... plus she isn't one my partner's list... but if I find her, I'll do her! :D

Though, even if I don't find one in time, I'll probably still do her after this swap ends :lol:

Waiting s#cks Xaniss! :( but in the time for the supplies to arrive, maybe you can get the pony(s) ready to rehair (like wash em and removing old hair). Better than nothing, right? :)

Being that it was my last one, now I have to buy more from Maniah (best rehairing needles ever!) and wait for them to arrive. I may have to resort to needle and thread in the meantime. :) Plus, I ordered hair for a second pony and have to wait for that to arrive too!

Post by: michelle53 on July 14, 2012, 08:30:44 AM: I joined this swap because I was excited to send out ponies to others! I'd like ponies on my list, I think they're pretty easy to get in baity condition:). Even if I only get 1 pony, I will be over the moon happy my friends! I have no set idea in my head, it's up to you!!! Most of my own personal rehairs are solid colors, but I am open to absolutely any color schemes:). The only color I don't love on ponies is black; just a personal opinion for me. Please dear partner, do not stress on my account! I am easy to please and will certainly be happy with whatever you send me:)

Oh, to answer a few questions:
I have a limited collection, so I'd really prefer ponies on my list.
Hair scents sound awesome, just not patchouli please (it triggers migraines for me).
Any kind of hair works for me, I'd be open to anything.

I'm waiting for hair to arrive! I have Black Magic if anyone wants to trade.

Yea, it's actually my needle too, but i can't get the needle out(?) to replace another.. I tried replacing needles with another rehair tool i had but it ended.. not too pretty. I am no good at anything creative, not even replacing a needle :P so i just need a whole new tool

I finished one of my rehairs today (using needle and thread, ouch!) and am debating whether to give her curls or leave her hair straight. Waiting for hair to arrive for the second one. And I won a small lot of ponies on ebay today all in good condition with haircuts, so I may be doing a third. :)

Post by: Xaniss on July 15, 2012, 12:21:06 AM: I like customs, any theme/style I really admire - there are some very talented ponies out there. But not made from the G4s - personally I can't stand those ugly little things :X

I *tolerate* blind bags and have been given one as a gift before, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one (or look at one more than I have to) .. but that's about it - I'm totally not a fan.

If my dollyhair doesn't arrive tomorrow (Monday for me) I'm emailing Tina, it's been three weeks and still no sign of hair AND if I don't get a confirmation email from mylittlecustoms saying my order isn't on it's way, I'm emailing Elise too... aren't they meant to have a 48hour handling policy..? :huh:

I don't mean to sound impatient, but it really bites being in the middle of the world for both companies, especially since shipping times mean it puts supplies arriving at the beginning of August for me >_<

Post by: NoDivision on July 15, 2012, 08:13:13 AM: Xaniss, Dollyhair can often take about two weeks to arrive within the US . Recently things I have shipped to australia have taken between two to three weeks to get there. So with processing time and shipping time I wouldn't be surprised i it took at least 4 weeks for you to get your dollyhair.

But good news! I've received my confirmation email from MyLittleCustoms! :cheer:

I've found the UK postage has been blistering fast (hence *why* I ordered from Elise to begin with!) so I'm really looking forward to this! :D

I am doing this too, but mostly to match the hair, I cannot wait to see how she looks.

Question: I am debating putting tinsel in my 2nd pony's hair. The original pony had tinsel in her hair so it would kind of 'match' her. However, I am not a huge tinsel fan. I know my partner is a fan of this particular pony though. What do you guys think? To tinsel or not to tinsel... that, is the question.

If it were me and the original pony had tinsel, I wouldn't mind including tinsel in the rehair. Especially if it were a princess pony. But not all ponies need the tinsel--if you think she's pretty the way she is, you don't necessarily need to follow the original exactly.

Post by: red_velvet_rose on July 16, 2012, 02:17:57 PM: I generally prefer no tinsel on my ponies except for Princess Ponies and the Bride ponies. It's just so unruly and gets messed up so easily.

I second this! I have used Moonlight before, and it's very shiny. It looks almost like tinsel!

(I actually have an extra hank of a Tortured polypropylene and Moonlight mix available, if anybody would like to trade for it. I ordered entirely too much of it. ^^; I would love to get a new color, especially if it's not nylon!)

Good news everyone! :P

My dollyhair order arrived today :cheer: and now I realise *why* it took so long: both my separate orders (hair/fragrance in one order/re-hairing replacement needles in the second order) were shipped together - and with the delay in getting needles in, that's why it took longer!

And yes, Sunlight and Moonlight have a tinselly-look to them - they really are lovely to behold!

Anyways, now that part of the hair supplies I need has arrived, I can at least begin on one pony... tomorrow though (it's nearly 10pm here) and after I go to the dentist in the morning >_<

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on July 20, 2012, 02:47:09 PM: I've heard that saran is hard to curl, but nylon is pretty easy to style.

Saran hair, I find, lays just fine without any actual styling if you just want straight hair. In fact in order to get it to curl, I had to boil perm it multiple times. Nylon hair needs to be styled whether you want it to lie flat or curl. I just wet it with hot water and then comb it out straight for straight hairstyles. For curls, I soak the hait in hot water and then wrap them in curlers overnight.

I don't mind tinsel but it's not my favorite. And scents are fine. I got a Strawberry Surprise for myself the other day and I love how she smells. =D Also, does anyone have any hair they would trade for some jewelry or something? I'm trying to decide what to do for one of my blends...I might do something a little different than the colors my partner mentioned. But, since I did some stalking, I know what she would like.

Do you still want my Black Magic babe??

Ok, I have bought a bait pony today, so each of my partner has 2. These baits are actually pretty decent, not too many stray marks or paint loss:) Is that enough, or should I shoot for one more?
Also, I have MARMALADE if anyone wants to trade. I need either VIRGIN SNOW or any other white color, I am happy to pay or trade:)

How does everyone feel about G4 ponies?

Yes ma'am! Did you not get my message with the colors you asked for? o.O My phone acts up a LOT so it might not have gone through at all. I send it again in just a sec...was ranting for a little bit because someone on xbox live took over $100 off my card. I'm calling my card company in the morning to see if they can refund it or call it fraudulent or whatever we can do to fix it. All my birthday money, gone. >.< Ah well. I managed to order the other bits of hair I need tonight, so hopefully that will come in soon.

I love g4s so they would be awesome IMHO!

Post by: Xaniss on July 21, 2012, 06:20:30 AM: No G4's for me thanks - I can't stand the hideous little critters! I'd take the scary G3.5 over G4's anyday... buuut will take blind bags over G3.5's - okay, 'nuff said about that.

But have one mane done - taken progression shots too! Will work on her tail tomorrow, but probably won't get much done (I'm proud to say I'm a slow poke :P) plus Sunday's usually are alot of work for me.

Additional hair still in transit, but I expect it later next week... probably more likely the week after it will reach me.

The person who was going to sell it to me hasn't gotten back to me in several days and I did make her aware I needed it soon for a swap. Starting to get nervous.

Guess I'll go back to shopping and see what I can find. Can't even buy hair until I have a pony in hand. Now I'm grateful the deadline gives us lots of time. LOL

One of them is a pony whit reeeaaally pink hair, and this pony tends to have faded hair. I would feel really bad rehairing her when she as such nice hair (and her body is flawless)
Now I dont know what to do -.- I think i'm going to get a new one.

Dam you seller! Selling me a perfect pony!! xD

I'm in the middle of a rehair right now, and I'm not entirely sure I love it. I have 3 colors I'm using, and I must say that for me, it's a little out of my comfort zone. My 3 colors are: Sunlight, Watermelon Martini and Poison Ivy. I hope my partner will like her.

Post by: Salli on July 22, 2012, 02:13:51 PM: I've found that for some reason time speeds up after the 4th of July so that Christmas is like 3 weeks after. I repainted the symbols and touched up the eyes and installed 1/2 the hair (waiting for the rest to come in the mail) in pony # 1 and HOLE. EY. COW.... I WANT her!! I may have to make me one (a bit different though) someday. What's funny is that it's a color scheme that I would have balked at. If I have learned one thing from swaps is that I like more things than I think I do, so partner, if you read this, don't worry for one second about me liking the pony you make me. I am apparently a sucker for ANY pony. I am getting so giddy for my partner to get her ponies from me :D I wish I could be there to see her face.

Post by: NoDivision on July 22, 2012, 02:26:11 PM: Pony #1 has her mane done. But that's just the beginning as she'd a complete restore! She came to me with all of her paint stripped off already, so there's a long way to go!

Post by: Raindrop on July 22, 2012, 02:32:13 PM: Isn't it funny that sometimes a swap has you making something you wouldn't normally try, and you end up liking it!

I like scents, but for me that would be purely optional. I do like tinsel on some ponies, especially the metallic, G1-type tinsel. Not all ponies look good in it, though, and I won't complain if my pony doesn't have it. I primarily collect G1s, although I have a few G2, G3s and G4s I like in my collection.

I haven't done it in some time now. I have my handy dandy home-made tool and I'm ready to go! I'm excited for the colors and blends I chose.

As far as scents go, I think they're lovely when they're sweet or fruity. I don't like flowery scents at all! But scented ponies overall are definetly not a must have for me so either way is cool.

Post by: Sanadaookami on July 24, 2012, 09:51:28 AM: I've got 4 ponies finished for one of my partners now +one not on her list :) I had every pony on her list sitting in my bait box at the start so that was easy! But she asked for really easy ones so I included a more rare girl I had in my restores box as an extra. The other one however is being a challenge, I only had 1 pony on the her list, and it was a G4- I find there hair is so hard to get out D: I've got two more for her on the way and hopefully some one will reply to the messages I set out to a few people about buying baits soon...

I wouldn't mind a G4 re-hair :) I like them I just didn't want to end up only getting a G4 for the swap if my partner only did one so I decided not to put them on the list.

Health issues aside (with the mold) I actually love getting ponies like this - gives me the chance to really work on them, scrub them out and the results are so dazzling it's really satisfying. ^.^

Oh and totally ON topic, I've finished one pony (who needs some major styling seriously!) looks like baity #2 will on-route shortly - still searching for other suitable baity ponies and still waiting for my second and third order of hair... next week perhaps :huh:

Unfortunately I haven't had much time this week to devote to ponies, but I will have plenty of free-time next week, so I'm really looking forward to that! :)

I have a question: For those of you who like me, enjoy ponies that have "parts" (like wingers, Precious Pockets, Princess ponies, flutters, Breezies etc), would you be ok receiving a pony that was missing a part? For me, I would be just fine receiving a winger without wings, or a Breezie without antennas. But would you be ok with receiving a rehaired pony that was missing a part?
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!

Post by: Unicorn_pops on July 25, 2012, 03:08:20 PM: Since this swap is working with "Baity" ponies. I would not mind to have one incomplete. I especially never mind to receive a winger w/o wings :)
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: michelle53 on July 25, 2012, 07:40:09 PM: Well I have a lovely flutter bait who is missing her wing mechanism, so that's why I'm wondering if most of you all would be ok with receiving a pony who is missing parts. I am 100% fine with receiving a winger/Breezie/flutter who either doesn't have wings at all or who has totally unique repro wings! Like I said before, flaws do not put me off at all to any pony. I just want to make sure my partner doesn't mind a very baity flutter pony.

Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: Sanadaookami on July 26, 2012, 07:05:49 AM: I don't mind missing parts- I can probably remake them myself if my partner doesn't want to/doesn't know how. I am not a very picky collector and I love doing restores so any pony sent to me with issues will likely get fixed up once she is hear. The only issues that make me think twice some times are cancer and regrind- though if the pony commonly has those issues that doesn't bug me. Even chew marks won't bug me as I have some apoxie sculpt handy and can fix them quite quickly, so to my partners don't worry about it I'll be happy with what ever you send :)
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PARTNERS ASSIGNED! START WORKING!
Post by: galaxyMLP on July 26, 2012, 10:08:10 AM: Hmm, I really would rather they didn't have missing parts like chew marks and missing legs! But, if that's the case, I can fix it up usually so it wouldn't be too bad. Things like horns being a little wonky or missing parts like the magic message and pocket ponies which are usually missing their parts are just fine with me! Same with broken mechanisms. As for G4s, they're ok but I'd rather get a baity G1 instead.

Okay my mental spat aside, I've begun work on another pony - this one came to me with no tail and filled with rust/mould on the insides. I gave her an Oxy bath and scrubbed her clean - sat her out in the sun (that mythological creature it is) all day yesterday and today to air-dry and when I nabbed her in, she now has a really visible head/body mismatch! So I am sorry to my partner who will receive her, but she needed an Oxy bath! She was gross! But, on a positive note, the hair colours I'm giving her may be enough for me to keep her anyways, so you won't have to worry about colour mis-matching in the first place! :lmao:

Tee hee... Pony 1 is done and she looks amazing. This was such a great swap idea. I can't wait to see what everyone else does!! After her symbol glitter dries I'll send in my final photo check in.

lol! I read this and went 'brrrugh' and got the confused puppy look, before the meaning 'clicked' :silly:

Aaaand this is why I signed up for two partners in the first place - so I get two ponies!! But getting one pony from each person is what I expected (even though I'm hoping to go for two ponies for each of my partners ^.^)

I also was totally going for small treats like candy and stickers too! Being my first swap, I really want this to be a great one for my partners - don't want to disappoint anyone, but also want to spoil them too! :biggrin:

Little, individually wrapped candies work well in that instance. Peppermint drops, butterscotch discs, Hershey kisses and hugs, etc.

I tend to include little souvenirs from Chicago since it's a huge tourist destination. So pretty postcards and things may make their way into my partner's box. I may also take their ponies with me to the Ren Faire and take pictures of her there, and included them, just to be cute.

I love souvenirs and touristy stuff :) (Probably why I love the traveling ponies :D) The few swaps I've been in had really different extras. I LOVED all of them. One partner drew me some pony bookmarks and a card with some of my favorite ponies on it. Cheap and small to ship. :)

I forgot notes in my first swap boxes too, NoD. I just get so excited!! I have a shelf now where I stick a post-it on the spot with my swap partner's name and as I accumulate extras for them and supplies and baits I stash them all there so when I go to pack up I forget less stuff. Also, having partners that went the extra mile has really set a standard I want to aim for in the future (current) swaps I'm in. SO many great ideas.

I got to looking at my pony and just realized that she needs a ribbon in her tail, g1 style.

Post by: Unicorn_pops on July 28, 2012, 07:41:40 PM: Okay, just realized something about my partner :lookround: Surprise Surprise! Can't wait for shipping time.
But yep, I will be including extras also.

What are some extras that people love to receive?

For me...anything but no Licorice (Yuck >_< ) Pony accessories, Stickers, Stationary/postcards/pencils...things like that are great! Oh and for the artist out there, I keep drawings that others send me and put up with my ponies.

Post by: michelle53 on July 28, 2012, 08:09:05 PM: I don't like mint, but Skittles, Starbursts, Gummi Bears and other chewy candy always makes me happy. I love little homemade trinkets:) No worries about going crazy, I will probably only include candy and a few small goodies.

I always mark my rehairs so that somewhere down the line, no one gets duped into thinking it's some kind of a variant. I just put my initials and the word rehair on the bottoms of one hoof, usually with a very fine point sharpie.

Dear partner, I am leaving the tails super long and you can cut it how you like :) I usually sign with an acid-free micron pen. Unless it's a dark-colored pony, then I paint my initials and the year with a fine paintbrush and white paint.

I'm pretty easy to please as far as any extras (or none) go :) I also love notes from people.

Post by: Xaniss on July 30, 2012, 05:15:36 AM: You ponies have some great ideas when it comes to gifts!! I've been so focused on baits/hair I haven't given much thought about 'extras' ... and as soon as the ponies are out of the way, I'm going shopping for little gifty things :D Plus the idea about taking ponies on a photo shoot - that is really fantastic! I live by the ocean, so I'm thinking my partners will receive photos with their ponies on the breakwall... or from the lookout... no, beach... >_< err, I'm not sure where!

But, I've completed my mane on my second pony (I'm so happy with it too!) and more hair has arrived, so I get to sit and contemplate partner preferences and hair colour later this week in my free time... :)

Post by: TexasGal on July 30, 2012, 07:49:40 AM: Got my hair on Saturday, but due to a two day migraine, not starting rehairing til tonight. I know my partner is going to love what she gets though! And I am going to look for some extras as well when I am finished, I think, if I don't make something else to go in their box. Thankfully, I know what she likes, so this should make it easier. =D

I know the feeling!! >_< Just finished one of mine (glue is drying and then she'll get a shampoo treatment) but... she turned out really cute and I'm hoping that my partner will adore her too! Plus I'm busting to show everyone how gorgeous these hair colours are!

But on reflection, this pony needs more hair in her tail - so I may end up snipping the cable ties and adding more... it's not noticeable though, but I'm just aiming for a more tidier end result for my partner. ^.^

Curious about photos - progression photos are taken as work is done on the pony, yes? So are we not to take completed ones of the ponies until closer to the check-in date or can we take them (say next week) and that still counts when the check-in date rolls round? Sorry for the confusion, Ducky's comment about not taking photos until closer to the check-in date has just thrown me, is all. :huh:

I've been taking photos as I work - even taking happy snaps of ponies drying :lol: but I have been adding the date to my photos, so (Rose especially) knows what happened, when.

However, good on track with re-hairing. 2 ponies done and thinking which will be the 3rd. I also got my partner a gift, but they MUST also get some good dutch candies, but those will be bought few days before shipping, so they'll be yummi when they arrive :)

By the way - i took photos of the ponies when they were done... hope that's no problem? Should i take shots during working on them? Only did the outcome!

And i'm no trouble with extras. If my partner wants to add them thats great but no pressure. I think i'd like everything, so no worries! I appreciate the efford!

Post by: TimeDance on August 02, 2012, 12:25:13 PM: Same here, still waiting in the mail for both. My biggest worry is what I'll need to do to clean the pony before rehair and if I'll have the time. But I should be okay. Rehairing only takes me a day or two and I don't have to wait for any glue to dry unless I have to cut the head off. I hate when that happens.

UPDATE! Ponies are here! I got a couple plus the one for the trade. The pony is in better shape than I thought she would be so I'm feeling a bit better about doing everything on time. Just gotta prep her and wait for the hair. Can't wait to get started!

Okay, have received a second bait for one of my partners! This one I've been pondering over since I was told I could nab her... and I've really been stumped by colour choice for this one, until I stripped her of her original hair that is! ... And the hair combo that just 'spoke' to me, isn't ANY of my partner's choicest colours.. but, I'm taking a gamble and going with it anyways, since her first pony does have colours she's chosen. :D

Oh! And for your ponies info - if I'm MIA FROM the 22nd August, chances are I'm being a playing fool and flogging my newest game! ^.^ I'm not abandoning the ponies, simply going to be immersed in my second love! :heart: And ooooh boy, does it look GOOD! :drunk:

Now I'm quitting before I digress anymore! :bolt:

Post by: Unicorn_pops on August 08, 2012, 01:38:07 PM: I just had a problem with mod podge myself.

I think I'll stick with liquetex sealant. I've never had a problem with it.

Red_velvet_rose, did you get my finished ponies' pix?

Rose may be in a coma out of sheer awesomeness to be able to respond!! :P

Plus remember she posted that she was going to Atlantic City..? Maybe Rose cleaned up big time in the casinos and is now retired to a luxurious penthouse being waited on hand-and-foot and hasn't thought about dragged herself away to get online? ^.^

It would be nice to dream that anyways!

Finished rehairing - only need to do symbol retouches (some are faded) and then most are done!! :D So wanted them done before my game comes out in 10 freaking-days!! :woot: BUT don't worry ponies - I'm not one to skimp on detail or rush a job, so the repainting will be great and not look like a Ogre snorted over them or anything! ;)

I'm waiting on one last pony (who I know will be most sought after by one of my partners!) and I'm sure I will receive her in time to be posted out... coming from the UK and all - I'm thinking she'll be here end of August/beginning of September. :huh: So don't worry - I WILL put down my game to get her done! :lol:

:lmao:

That is great news for you and have fun! :D

I've been totally lazy and haven't uploaded any more progression shots for Rose :lookround: ... but have finished the rehairing on all ponies (bar one... who is yet to arrive >_<) and just need to do symbol re-touches on ... two of them, no three if you count a re-glitter! Partially completed one side of one pony (this wasn't totally needed, but the change in colour suits the rehair match better) and my other pony had badly faded symbols, so will be matching them to her new hair too!

And I'm so happy I splurged all those months ago for glitter - it *should* be a pretty good match for this pony... I should clarify by stating that when I say *should* it will be 95% correct (or greater) to the pony, I'm just totally anal when it comes to me doing arty stuff and won't accept any substitutes than my standard.. which is usually off the scale.... But this is me being far too critical and judgmental of my own work. :huh:

Post by: michelle53 on August 16, 2012, 11:54:28 AM: I finished my last one this morning. When is the shipping date again? I'm sending both partners 2 ponies each, I hope they won't be disappointed. I was hoping for 3, but I don't think it's going to happen:(

Sorry, but I've got to disagree with this statement - I think this is a great date as it factors in International shipping times we overseas people have to deal with. Personally for myself (in Australia) it takes *at least* twelve days for parcels to reach me... longer if they're held up in customs (and you can't predict if one of your parcels is going to be flagged!) and since I'm waiting on my final pony to arrive, I LOVE the long working time we have! :heart:

Aww, think of it as more time to comb their hair and adore them before they head out to their new home(s)! We're all in the same boat - wondering if our partner(s) are going to like their swap ponies, if all this work we've done will be loved by whoever is going to get them - believe me, I'm looking at my ponies thinking the same, but as long as each of us do our best for our partners I'm sure each and every pony will be equally cherished! :)

You were super lucky to have the colours you needed AND could get ponies locally! :D But I so know what you mean - personally, my final Dollyhair order arrived last week and my last pony is still around two weeks away >_< So I'm extremely thankful for this working time ^.^

I think I can speak for most people when I say that I would love any pony who was given to me as a gift :). I have gotten so hooked on these rehairs that even though I said I wasn't going to collect a bunch of g1's because I didn't have room (ha! famous last words, right?) I have decided to collect g1 custom variants and give really baity ponies new life. And I haven't even seen everyone's awesome rehairs yet!!!

any word from red_velvet_rose? My brother-in-law died last night from dehydration/heat (he's 28) and I am now paranoid than ever about everyone I know. Drink some water, everyone.

Post by: Xaniss on August 18, 2012, 07:27:06 PM: @Uninu - that sound so lovely! Maybe you should see how your pony comes out firstly, as you may wish to keep her for yourself :P

@NoDivision - Great to hear that you've overcome your pony-block! :D

I can't wait to see every-pony's ... er, ponies! It really is a marvel to see the creativity that comes from a few prompts like pony type and colour!

Echoing the thought that any pony sent this way would be loved.
Thinking I better wrap the hair in curled position for her trip. Must stay beautiful...

Post by: TimeDance on August 20, 2012, 08:14:18 AM: Finished rehairing the head. But Alas, my attempts at sunfading marks on the body are not very fruitful. We had a massive fire a few weeks ago and we just have this permanent haze in the sky ever since. Super gross, but also blocking out the sun for the sunfading.

So my apologies in advance to my partner if I can't get these marks out in time. I'll be leaving her up there as long as I can, but I don't know how affective it will be.

Though it does amuse me to see a naked pony butt facing the window every time I go to work lol

Don't forget, progress photos are due on the 31st! If you're done, fab. If you're still waiting for supplies, shot me a PM to let me know. But everyone needs to contact me in some way, shape, or form by the 31st. If you already sent photos, you're fine. I'll be updated the first page soon to reflect who has sent me photos already.

I know I haven't been around much this past ... week or so (darn addictive game! :shakefist:) but my final pony arrived in the mail today and I still do need to take a few other pony photos for you Rose :D

In total there are six ponies done/in progress (three each for my partners) three are totally complete, two others have been re-haired and awaiting symbol restoration (one glitter, one paint) and my final pony (the one that came today) only needs a gentle clean and new hair! :)

EDIT:
@ Rose: Have uploaded a photo of each pony into my album and have added a quick description on each pony's progress - files *13 to *18. If you want additional photos (like the other side of pony - especially when it comes to symbols) please let me know! :D

Post by: Xaniss on September 04, 2012, 03:13:50 PM: Hey Hokus - I've made some curls for one of my pony and I used straws from McDonalds (I'm cheap lol) and made sure I wrapped the hair as tight as I could around the straw... so tight I ended up crushing some of the straws :blush: But I tied them to secure the ends with a length of funny-fabric stuff I received as some packaging... I wish I knew what it was as it works superb! I also secured the straw to the pony itself, so the straw wouldn't slip while I set curls/let them dry.

Then I just boiled permed/chilled the hair and set her aside for about two-three weeks to thoroughly dry - the curls turned out tight and are still holding good... had them loose for about er, two weeks now. Hope these tips work for you too and best of luck to you with your hair styling! :)

I used straws also to make those curls; there is a topic in the custom section with all tips for customizing and i just followed the 'straw curls' one. I don't know what happened here :\ Will try again, thanks for the advice!

zzova, if it doesn't turn out nice, i'll just use a flat iron to make it flat again and leave them unstyled too.

Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: michelle53 on September 06, 2012, 07:45:02 AM: Ok, I am totally finished:). I had a few extra baits lying around and thought I'd make each of my partners an extra. These ponies aren't on their lists, but the hair colors sure are! I have to say, these extras look GORGEOUS!!!!!!

I can't wait to ship them off to their new homes! Each of my partners is going to get 3 ponies: 2 on their lists and 1 extra. I'm planning on sneaking some extras like candy and stickers into the boxes.

Questions:
If I send you some little extras, would you be ok with candy? What kinds of candy and little goodies would you like? Don't worry guys, I'm not going to go crazy on extras.

Post by: TimeDance on September 06, 2012, 09:00:10 AM: I am super disappointed these marks on this pony don't seem to be fading at all and my pony has been out in the window for weeks. Mucho apologies to my trade buddy. I'll probably be adding extra goodies to (hopefully) make up for it. I tried! T.T
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on September 06, 2012, 10:51:23 AM: I want to apologize to my partners in advance, for the fact that I'm only giving out one pony each... :( I'll try to make up for it with goodies, though. I'd also like to know what kind of extras my partners would want. :P

And, as for me, candy is fine! I like pretty much anything as long as it isn't cinnamon flavored, or black licorice. :D
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: michelle53 on September 06, 2012, 05:23:41 PM: Oh, I did 3 because my baits are just sad:(. A few have eye rubs, missing parts and marks/stains. I feel bad because I cannot paint at all, and can't do anything to make them look better. So sorry partners!!

I am only expecting one pony, so no disappointment at all over here:). I have no art talents, hair styling talents or any talents really. I just hope my partners aren't upset with the imperfections on their ponies.

Candy? Oh yes please!!! I have a crazy sweet tooth for Skittles, dark chocolate, Starbursts, sour candy, Laffy Taffy and other sugary delights). I don't care for Marshmallow, peanut butter, mint (I hate it), anise (black licquorish) and white chocolate.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: rybett on September 06, 2012, 05:57:42 PM: Dislike dark chocolate, white chocolate, anise flavors. Love sour stuff and other basic candy.
Fear not, I bet eye/symbol rubs are easy to fix when ponies get home. ;)

Soft curls are beautiful too Hokus!! :) Those soft, wavy curls really do suit some ponies as they look so elegant! Personally, I think you're being too hard on yourself - we are our own worst critics at times and you can only do the best you can - maybe the hair you've used is just stubborn to curl too..? But I hope you are happy with the end result and don't stress! :hug:

And Michelle - you've hit on my weakness there! Candy!! I pretty much love all candy sorts (though in Australia, we don't get any of the sorts you guys in the States get :( ) But candy I'm not keen on would include: chocolate with peanuts or lollies/jellies in it, marshmallows, rocky road, strong mints.. can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

I love: skittles, M&Ms, chocolate in general (except for the above), lollipops, Reece's peanut butter cups (yet I like these - I'm a constant contradiction :P) sherbet, sour stuff, fizzy stuff - like Fizz Whizz, bah! Besides the above dislikes, I pretty much adore anything - including licorice allsorts!! Ooooh! Just thought... I got some 'hard candy' in a pony package once - it was blue raspberry and a totally fascinating, yum-o lolly, if that helps anyone!

Alrighty, I'm off to do symbols - as it's something I can do, instead of totally sucking at FoC multi-player :redface:
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: michelle53 on September 07, 2012, 09:55:34 AM: Guys I have a problem...I'm in love with a rehaired pony I made for one of my partners. It's one of the extras I wasn't even planning on using. She's gorgeous! Not at all a pony I'd ever gravitate towards, but she's quickly stealing my heart:). I even gave her a pretty tail ribbon and a cute little necklace.

I'm going to have to wrap her today because I can't keep looking at her. I think I'm actually going to be sad sending her off. Is anyone else having this problem??
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: Xaniss on September 07, 2012, 03:28:13 PM: I'm definitely having this problem Michelle! Two of the girls I've done are so adorable and they've been sitting on my pony shelf, where I can adore them and comb their hair... *sigh* but if I love them, I'm sure my partners will too! :heart:

I've already resigned to the fact I'll probably be making a sister for them in the future, so I have a version myself! ... But that means more baits!! Oh, it's a vicious circle >_<
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: rybett on September 07, 2012, 04:30:51 PM: Yup. And DD is mad that they are being mailed to friends of mine. Bait shopping we go...
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: Sanadaookami on September 07, 2012, 05:12:06 PM: Yep I fell in love with two of mine- so I got more baits and made a few for myself Now I'm not so tempted to keep them XD

I like most candy :) Just no tree nuts (allergy) and hot things...
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: Xaniss on September 08, 2012, 12:11:07 AM: Another one finished! :cheer:

Though, I must say re-glittering symbols was a bigger pain in my aft than I expected - still not 100% happy with the finished result (as it looks a tad heavy), but it looks better than patchy glitter to begin with! But I AM happy with the colour and texture of the glitter - maybe not as fine as 'factory' glitter, but still a pretty close match. ^.^

Just need to complete painting symbols on another pony (about half done one side) and need to curl my newest pony's hair and I'm done-kaput! :D

@Rose: I'll hold off uploading any more progress photos, as I'm really striving to get the rest done before the final check-in date next week and then I'll upload all the photos together! :)
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: Uninu on September 08, 2012, 05:55:40 AM: I'm done rehairing! Now I'll just touch the style their hair and I'm done ^^

ETA: One of three is now styled. I love how she turned out!

ETA2: Now I'm done with them all. I'm just wondering if I should work a bit more on one of them. Hmm.

Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: TexasGal on September 08, 2012, 08:08:17 PM: Michelle, I am in the same exact boat, but I have a bait exactly like this one, so I can easily fix that problem...just will have to rebuy that bait for the original project I had for it. xD

I love anything chocolate, gummy, um....no cherry at all whatsoever...for some odd reason I am horribly allergic. o.O no cinnamon or licorice...or coconut, but I do love jellybelly sours, sweet tarts, stuff like that, lol
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! PROGRESS PICS DUE FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st!
Post by: TimeDance on September 11, 2012, 08:32:27 AM: I think I'm about done trying to sunfade this girl. It is just not working out. *sigh* I'll at least have to make sure she gets a really pretty hair style. At least the marks are on the non display side so it won't be SUPER bad, I hope.

I'll spend my time and energy filling the box with extra goodies.

As far as candy for me, I like most candy bars except anything with almonds or coconut in them. Though chocolate may not be the best thing to go through the mail. I also like suckers, jelly beans, gummis, that kind of stuff as well.

Wait! What? You mean after check-in, we can being to SHIP ... before the October 1 date?? :shocked:

We can being to ship as of next week..? :newpony: Excuse me, while I take some photos! ;)

EDIT:

@Rose: Have uploaded complete/final photos of all ponies in my album - the only one that hasn't had final photos is a certain pony drying on my back patio (that you will see too) and she's only had her boil perm today! But she's done apart from that fact ... as they all are! *Whew* This last fortnight went sooo quick to get everything done! It's been a really disorganised fortnight, plus I've taken my sweet time with re-painting symbols, but I've also *nearly* completed getting my extra goodies too - one thing I wanted to get was out of stock, but will have to substitute if none come in next week ... okay rambling now - off to bed! :yawn:

Post by: Salli on September 14, 2012, 10:37:41 AM: We can ship early??? YAY!! and :bawl:. I will miss these gals. 4-Speed will miss one of them in particular. I will have to create a similar one for him. It was love at first sight. If my partner loves these half as much as I so, this swap will be a success! And how AWESOME is the brag thread for this swap going to be????????? :shocked:

Dear partner, if you only made one pony and if she has marks that is just fine :) That's what I signed up for. I made 2 because I had an extra one (in horrible condition) hanging around and I'm so glad she's pretty and going to a loving home now :)

Candy is good :D I don't like coffee-flavored candy :yucky: I love chocolate, peanunt butter and chocolate, chocolate with nuts, rootbeer-flavored hard candies and junior mints the best, but I am really not picky about my candy :D

I love everything in it but will have to wait a bit to post a brag- my camera died just as I finished un-boxing the last pony, so now I'm waiting for batteries to recharge.

On the plus side I now have time to pretty them up for some glam shots :biggrin:

Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! SHIPPING DEADLINE OCTOBER 1ST!
Post by: michelle53 on October 01, 2012, 11:43:22 AM: Panda, if you're my partner I don't mind waiting! Hey, I've totally been there before, and understand how tough it is!
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! SHIPPING DEADLINE OCTOBER 1ST!
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on October 01, 2012, 12:17:50 PM: OMG!!! I just got packages from both my partners, and I love EVERYTHING so much!!! <3 <3 <3 I got way more than I deserve... I'm going to go brag soon, but thank you both so much!

EDIT: But, on a more serious note... Holy crap, I feel bad, now... I was only able to make one pony for each of my partners, and neither are as amazing as the ones I received... To the people who were unfortunate enough to get me, I'm really sorry. :cry: I don't know what to do at this point... I just feel terrible...
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! SHIPPING DEADLINE OCTOBER 1ST!
Post by: NoDivision on October 01, 2012, 01:06:49 PM: Panda, I'm sure whatever you did will be more than good enough ^_^ And I'm glad you like your ponies!

Is anyone else planning to post their own pony pics in the customs forum? Mine were both more custom than just a rehair, so I was planning to post pics here but I feel weird if I'm the only one XD
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! SHIPPING DEADLINE OCTOBER 1ST!
Post by: Raindrop on October 01, 2012, 03:01:22 PM: Mine is sent! I also received my pretty lady in the mail on Saturday but haven't been able to upload a photo yet. Will get it up soon--thanks meantime, TimeDance!

I'm planning just a normal brag for the one I received, although if your customs were more involved than just a rehair I'm sure your own post would be fine, NoD :) .

ETA: The swap did not require more than one rehair, although some people did more. Mine were pretty common so I did more than one, but I am very happy with the one I received!

I was actually wondering about this too - since two of mine involved more (I re-painted symbols and touched up eyes) than re-hairs... so I'm game if you are! :)

And this is the first swap I have ever been in. Do we need to make sure we leave feedback for anyone? Or is it the swap coordinator who leaves feedback?

Post by: Xaniss on October 04, 2012, 07:47:52 PM: I haven't received anything so far, but since I'm floating on an Island near no one who is actually participating in this swap (Pythia is my closest person I think! :P) I'm guessing I'm going to be the last one to receive any pony packages!

I did have a dream (nightmare) that I received a pony package in a padded envelope with no card, no name - just a re-haired G3 pony and a bonus G4 pony too! I really must be whacked to have a horror dream like that. :crazy:

I've been trying to keep up with the posts here AND on the brag forum and noting who has received on the first page. So the first page is the best indication. I'll be giving another week before I start asking people to contact me to say whether they've received/shipped/etc.

Post by: Honeycomb on December 28, 2012, 07:41:24 AM: It's almost the end of the year, and still nothing of my package. I'm more than angry now, especially because of the lack of communication from my partner's side. Giving it till January 2nd, then I am going to leave negative feedback. This is just ridiculous now. :enraged:

Post by: Uninu on December 28, 2012, 07:59:31 AM: Oh no :( I'm so sad to hear that. With the awesome package I got from you I was really hoping you'd get something equally great.

Post by: red_velvet_rose on December 28, 2012, 10:36:30 AM: I know reyl mailed your package, Honeycomb. I have no idea why it's taking so long. You wouldn't think Canada to Germany would be such a problem.

Post by: michelle53 on December 28, 2012, 11:10:41 AM: Well I'd be more than willing to make a replacement package for Honeycomb:). I have tons of hair and a few ponies in need of a new home.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on December 28, 2012, 02:15:42 PM: I also would be willing to help out.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! SHIPPING DEADLINE OCTOBER 1ST!
Post by: reyl on December 29, 2012, 10:50:09 AM: I am very sad this package is in limbo :( You would think it would have at least come back to me by now.

Post by: Honeycomb on January 06, 2013, 07:14:40 AM: No pony has arrived. I have left feedback. :(

Post by: Raindrop on January 07, 2013, 06:05:19 PM: Sorry to hear about your box, Honeycomb. Perhaps we can coordinate some replacements through the swap hostess. What was your wishlist?
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! SHIPPING DEADLINE OCTOBER 1ST!
Post by: reyl on January 07, 2013, 08:06:03 PM: I'd like to send her something to make up for it. I've never had a package completely disappear before. Canada Post is slow but not usually this bad.
Title: Re: Alternate Re-Hair Swap! SHIPPING DEADLINE OCTOBER 1ST!
Post by: Honeycomb on January 08, 2013, 03:25:01 AM: Reyl, I'm so sorry for everything! It's here!!! This morning the mailman delivered a box from Canada, and it could only be yours!
The Sundae Bests are wonderful! Thank you so much! I will post pics later today. I hope the mods can remove the feedback I gave you, and I will be able to re-write it. And Rose can finally be cleared from this swap. I am so glad it finally arrived safely, really was a long time, shipped November 22nd.

Here is my brag:

Post by: reyl on January 08, 2013, 07:33:40 AM: Yaaaay! *happy dance* I'm so glad the box isn't lost and you like your ponies! I'd love to see pics, since I didn't have time to take any decent ones. I only have bad cellphone pics. Enjoy your tasty ponies!
