So still bummed I had to miss the MD meet (have not felt like posting my candy customs... maybe come halloween as I have been thinking I can retrofit the candy apple one a bit for that and the candy dish one I can maybe re-do the colors a bit so I'm just calling them WIPs for now...)
 
anyhow, DB's mom over at the TP was super awesome to actually commission me to do my Big Macintosh again so here he is - improved  I think - as now he has his yoke .  Also total shout out THANKS! to CSA for the airbrushing = she was awesome to send me the perfect base to work on :-)

and some more shots I took before I got the go ahead to make him a yoke  = used a pair of barbie suede pants (boy I hope I cannibalized something cheap, just didn't have the right leather pieces on hand) and used pipe cleaners and felt on the inside to create that shape and to make it flexible, and removeable (like if he wants to ever get off the farm and go on a date  )

the hair is all salvaged from other MLP = mostly G3 tails = in that golden and orange-y combo that I think just worked = tried to give him the appropriate do ;-)

sealed the eyes triple gloss and mod podge on the rest...

I'm gonna see if ceramcoat over my next symbol might smooth it better... that's the only part I am still wanting to perfect (obviously) but glad to have read about using a pencil transfer method to template that apple on him (thanks to? dang I'll see if i can look that up...)

hope ya'll like
 
eeyup...
 
 

Bonjour... OK = that and Merci are about all I remember - been struggling with an ebay transaction that ended = I thought = fine with me sending a wire for the invoiced amount and seller was fine shipping worldwide :-) yay for ebay.fr... except  =
Now I get a claim that only 174 euros were received... so does any France Native know if banks there charge an incoming wire fee? My US bank would charge me a fee for an incoming wire.  So I thought, OK = new seller (18) and not a huge deal to explain = sorry you didn't account for that amount in your invoice, I paid per ebay policy.
I know I did that on like my first international package to Mexico = calculated flat rate US (hoof to face moment) = ah well, live and learn moment/don't do that again.
 
But seller writes back that bank doesn't charge for a wire transfer... so now I am reaching out here = I am sorry I am a mono-linguist American... and I don't trust google translate to be much help
 
thanks a mil in advance for a PM to help = mon dieu... I had no idea me trying to get an italian sea pony and a no country apple etc. was gonna get complicated
 
MCM

Well I couldn't find a match in the gallery, and so I was typical conservative on my bid on this... and I couldn't stay up to snipe at the end of the auction = oh well

 UPDATING MY WANTS -


ok = not nirvana, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE to hunt for three-set of things (three kids excuse) so I snagged the orange shimmering beauty = do you have the blue or pink one?

I will trade ya FSF Anya for one... or nirvana / reg HTF MLP gen 1 , gen 3 (fair exclusive - you need egypitian maybe?) so a trade is preferred but OF COURSE I WILL BUY IF YOU ARE ONLY SELLING

SO lemme know!!





now the regular and seeming never ending hunt is :


BLUE italian lickety or posey... there's gotta be one right ?

I AM fine with buying as well as trading - given my wants - if you are willing to part with I am willing to pay also for

1.Funskool Minty, Funskool Blossom, Funskool Cotton Candy
2. Argentina snuzzle = white with blue hearts
3. Polly - white with pink hearts
4.  I can dream here = two spaniards = cupido and limon  (someday...)


SOoooo = I have plenty of nirvana and US to offer =  send me your want lists!!!  I have a double of green haired Minty I am thinking of parting with to fund my nirvana hunting... so bottom line is the whole herd is up for grabs depending on if I get a good match of give to get :-)



 

 
********************************************
 

Now for my other NIRVANA hunting:

greeks!  blue sunbeam, blue glory, orange twilight, orange parasol

peru blossom = love that deep purple!

colombian baby yellow with green hair
Colombian daddy-s would love purple to go with my bowtie (like I said I am dreaming - will pay for this wish of wishes = that's a thousand$$ pony to be sure!)

A purple haired Italian Minty and a dark green haired greek baby minty...

 
now dat's an expensive wish list I must admit
