what if you make a very small thin cylinder of rolled out clay and cut it onto tiny pieces? You could taper one end to be the bottom of the "feather" and blend the top part to the pony. I'd imagine you could layer them to get however much feathering you want.

I think they look wonderful! I must say though, I am really digging Falena Star!

Thank you guys.

Hey y'all! got some more customs made up.

First up is the little Seahawks girl. She was my first official custom done through Facebook.

Even scary as heck creatures need a friendly nuzzle every now and then.

Last is a pony I made for my little girl to play with. I left her hair done in "Hasbro stripes".

Thanks for looking!! Now to actually do the housework I've been putting off.

CSA ~ Let's call it a regular gore warning.

They are all soooooo cute!! I might have to get a few blindbags and make magnets with the kids now. I am in love with that snow globe!!!

That's looking great hun! For his hair are you going to using saran or mohair?

Since you are wanting to avoid the oven, I would go for Apoxie-sculpt, or something similar. Most air dry clay will shrink and I have gotten nothing but heart ache when trying to use them. I have not tried apoxie yet, you only have a certain window of work time to use it in before it starts to harden so I've just stuck with my sculpey clay. Hopefully someone with more experience with the apoxie will be on soon. Best of luck with your custom hun.

Hello, you can probably gather from the title that I'm hoping to get some advice on making clay clothes on an MLP. I'm trying to go with with a flowy type skirt, but I need to put a lot of details for the texture and to make it look like it was stitched together.

Is it best to do the clay work with the pony already on a baking tray, or is there a way to move it safely without messing up the clay?

Is there a trick to getting the folds to fall or do you just let the clay pretty much do it's own thing for that?

I was rolling my clay out to about 1/8 of an inch, is that too thin?

Any other advise or tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
