Title: Collector, ponyscaper, artiste, nerd
Post by: BrenlysOddiments on August 29, 2012, 09:03:41 AM

Hey, everybody!  Glad to be here :)  I'm an old person (33) and a recently self-identified "brony", living in the western end of Massachusetts.  By day I work for a small but successful online company, and by night I hunt around for blind bag ponies and make them into stuff like this:

I've got a little Etsy  (http://www.etsy.com/shop/LakeIsleofEverfree?ref=seller_info)shop, and I'm hope to start learning to make customs as well, although I just got the last blind bag they had at our local KMart (my number one source), so I'll need to wait for a restock before I can get serious :)

Ha! I'm older than you (35). I think they should call us old-timers 'g1's'. Those are super cute! Blindbags are so addicting :)

Thanks, guys!

Avene:  I'm using mostly dried moss.  The local craft stores sell a bunch of different kinds for floral arrangements.

Those are so cool. I'd never think of taking pictures of ponies in terrariums. Neat!
