Title: Greetings!
Post by: garnetfaerie on February 25, 2018, 08:20:43 PM: Hello! I go by Garnet in most places and I am 32 years old. I currently live in Maryland and I am a freelance artist.

I grew up with My Little Ponys and have always had a special place in my heart for them. Glory was my first pony ever, because she belonged to my Mom first (she loves unicorns) and then gave her to me when I was a toddler. After that I was hooked! Majority of my pony collection are from yard sales and have been much loved but each one is still special.

My collecting days started then and never stopped, only occasionally slowed. Family still gift me ponys when they come across them and I enjoy cleaning them up. I managed to keep all my childhood ponys. I enjoy all generations. :rainbow:

Since you are an artist, do you draw any ponies? I'm glad you joined, I look forward to seeing you around! Hope you have fun here :)

Thank you! Luckily, I was able to keep my childhood collection. Bats had gotten into our attic (many years ago) and majority of my childhood belongings were damaged because of them, but the ponies never were placed there. Extremely lucky!

I haven't drawn ponies in a long time, it would be fun to do so again though!
