Title: Peacock pony for Sarahlacewing, private swap
Post by: Saja on October 16, 2013, 01:00:37 PM: Sarahlacewing and I did a private swap with Peacock theme, here is what I came up with. I wanted to try something that I hadn't done before, which taught me a lot of lessons, she had a lot of issues and had a lot of her parts ripped off an redone, until I finally was happier with her overall design, and so here she is., She has arrived at her new home, but unfortunately the postie was less than kind to her, I hope Sarah is able to mend her. :cry:

A hint for packing something like that next time is to buy some foam like they sell at Jo Ann's to make seat cushions. You then cut out the foam so the pony fits into it like a box. I use this method to ship china and dramatic custom Breyers and it works super well.

That's a great hint thanks so much. It wasn't the actual packaging apparently the box got soaking wet that's why it got damaged. I did pack it in a heap of bubble wrap and peanuts in a massive box!
