Post by: Griffin on December 19, 2015, 08:54:23 AM: Yay, looks like I get to start this thread! :happy:

This lovely customised bauble features my favourite pony Gusty on each side and the cute red bow is like the cherry on top! The display side (I suppose we can call it that!) was hard to photograph but it has an adorable headshot with Gusty trying to catch snowflakes with her tongue. The NDS is gorgeous, the drawing is so cute and you can see the beautiful subtle glittering effect of white paper used for background. I love it, thank you so much, Uninu! :hug:

She also came with a cinnamon candy cane! Why am I not eating that thing right now? *Mentally prepares to go get candy cane, remembers there's a cat on lap and stays put.*

Also there is my ornament card from BethMcBeth!

Post by: ZennaBug on December 21, 2015, 03:24:35 PM: Posey! That's an adorable ornament; awesome work Arianna! :lovey:

BethMcBeth, I hope you can join us next year! I usually post sign-ups in October, but this year it was super rushed because life got crazy and it took me a while to get it ready. Whoops! We usually do something different every year, but we have done ornaments for the last two years because they were really popular last year. Who knows what we will do next year?! ;)

A lovely Baby Sapphire ornament and some candy that already disappeared. :P Thank you so much! :lovey:

Post by: Mkia on December 30, 2015, 06:50:45 PM: Beautiful ornament!!
Title: Re: MLP Arena Holiday Art Swap '15 Brag Thread!
Post by: ZennaBug on December 30, 2015, 07:51:28 PM: You're welcome! I'm glad that you liked her. I was so frustrated when I broke the original, but I ended up liking this one better anyway lol. And when I saw that I had a perfect blue Swarovski crystal in my customizing and painting box, I knew that I had to use it. :) I took some pics before I sent her off to you too.

Post by: puuush on January 05, 2016, 04:53:11 AM: Aww, Zenna, so glad the ornament made it. Too bad it was not in time...
Happy that you like it and the ATC too. :D

I need to sort out how to get the picture from my phone to the board, so I can post a pic of the wonderful ornament I got from Griffin.

I'm so happy you like it! Let me know if you can't upload photos and I'll see what I have. The quality might not be the best, I only took a couple of rushed photos of the ornament but I can post them if you like. :)
