ALTERNATE REHAIR SWAP

For ideas and the source of this insanity - http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,293292.0.html

Sign ups until July 8, 2012
Partners assigned before or on: July 10, 2012
Progress pictures required: August 31, 2012
Final check in: September 14, 2012
Shipping: October 1, 2012

1. You must have 5 5-star arena feedback and no 1/2-star arena feedback.

2. You must have been an arena member for at least 3 months before sign ups are over.

3. You must have pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs and/or re-hairs to show the quality of your work. This is a skill based swap and I need to know how to pair you.

4. Along with your sign up, you must send a list of 20-25 ponies that you would love to see with spanking new hair. Please try to stick to ponies that are relatively common and likely to already be in someone's bait box, or at least easy to find on the secondhand market. A word on value: Do not ask for a re-haired Mimic, you know better than that. Keep the ponies you suggest valued at roughly $15-$20 or less in good condition. If you want to do more than one pony, yay! If you don't want to do more than one pony, that's fine too! This is where this is a little more like a Holiday Swap than a custom swap in that you can do as many as you want while staying around $15-$20 or less spend on the baits.

4a. If you want to alter symbols, fix flaws, etc. Go right ahead. The main point is that we should still be able to tell who the pony was originally. Making Applejack's apple red or green is fine. Changing them completely to oranges, not so much. That being said, you do not HAVE to do anything but re-hair. If you want to have more than one partner (ie - guarantee that you receive more than one re-haired pony), let me know and I will enter you twice.

5. Ship on time! Life happens, as we all know. Let me know as SOON as you realize you will be shipping late.

6. No shipping early! Shipping addresses will be withheld to prevent this. The exception will be when your partner is ready to ship as well.

7. Be prepared with progress pics at progress date. Since this is an alternate rehair swap and not a typical custom swap, the dates are a little, shall we say, faster than the usual custom swap.

8. Send me pictures of your completed re-hair before you ship.

9. Let me know right away when you ship your pony and when you receive one.

10. Do not let anyone know who your partner is. It is a secret.

11. Extras are not required, but are welcome. However, do not go overboard with these. This is about the ponies. A small treat/gift or 2 is fine and good but not too much.

12. This swap is mainly a G1-swap. Be mindful of that when listing ponies you would like to see re-haired. Having a few G3s or G4s in the mix is OK, but the list should be primarily G1s.

13. You must be in no more than 2 other swaps (total of 3).

14. The title of your PM should be Legolas, so I know you read the rules.

15. PM the sign up form to me (red_velvet_rose) by the sign up deadline.

16. You must check in for the final check in. If you do not check in, I do not give you the address of your partner, nor will you be receiving a pony.

17. You need to be able to produce proof of shipping when asked. You need to hold onto your receipt until your partner confirms that they have received their pony. I also highly recommend delivery confirmation for those not shipping internationally.

That actually sounds like a great idea!  I'd definitely be in.

But would we post about it in the Corral or in customs? These alternate rehairs kind of straddle the line between restore and customs, eh? What does everyone think?  I'd be willing to host the swap.

I got ENFP, so I'm PINKIE PIE!!!

(How on earth does this jive with me also being a Slytheirn in EVERY SINGLE house test I take, including the one JK Rowling did for Pottermore?)

Now I need to somehow make a Slytherin Pinkie Pie.

Rose

Oooh... I've got a few common Italians with manky hair, come to think of it. I know I have Applejack, Peachy, Bubbles and Seashell. I may have to rehair them.

Oops! I thought the fuzzy was a fur stole! Lol, maybe it's one of those transforming dresses. I LOVE the gold detail work, I'll get better pix tomorrow and again, I just LOOOOOVVVVEEE her. and the Death by Bougainville (spelling?) hair is breathtaking! Thanks again Rose!

LOL< It can used either way. I just forgot to take pictures of her using it as a stole. (I was going to glue that piece in place under her dress, but it stayed well enough on its own and I didn't want to get glue on her tail.

Local Ponyville fashion designer and boutique owner, Rarity, has been invited by the world-famous designer, Fancy Pants, to accompany him to Paris for Fashion week.

This is my pony for Salli for the Ponies On Vacation Swap. Rarity here has been given a fully sculpted dress and was rehaired with Death By Bougainaville (sp?) because what fashionista would not go getting some flashy highlights for a fabulous trip?

My first time sculpting clothing. And my first time attempting blush. Go me!

Rose

This little pony was a commission from one of my facebook friends for her daughter's birthday. She is based on her daughter's "pony persona" she made using a pony-maker.

uhhhhm is anyone taking commissions for this sort of thing? I have a baity power that would look lovely with new hair...

I'd totally do this for a little cash! With the rehairing tool, it takes no time whatever and I just bought a whole bunch of hair.  What color are you thinking for Powder? (I think she'd look fabulous with purple and blue. Or even silver hair to match her symbol.)
