Ooh icecreamgirl!  What an awesome box!  I love ice cream Luna!  And the Locket rehairs are gorgeous, Saja!  Those little individually packed TimTams are the BOMB!  Ration those out until you have another swap with Saja, you'll be sad when they're gone.

These pictures are adorable!  I have a question: do your pets ever try to chew or eat your ponies?  How do you keep them from doing that?

None of mine have ever attempted.  Occasionally if I have something on the floor while I'm organizing (accessories, ribbons, combs) my cat will try to swat at them, but I just fuss at him and he leaves them alone.  I haven't ever had a problem with chewing, but, I keep a baby gate up in my pony room to keep my three dogs out.  Not because they're chewers, but some of them don't know their own size and I do a lot of work on the floor.   It turns into a case of accidental Godzilla if they are allowed in.  ^.^

So cute!  I really like the green one.  Their hair is interesting, did you dye the stripes on?  I really like the texture.

The Sdcc exclusives have been $50 each the last few years. However they have almost consistently retained or increased in price on the secondary market. So its really better to buy them direct from HTS.

Actually, I would disagree with that.  I know I got DJ on eBay about a year after she was released for $35 and that included shipping.  Maniac may see a dip also considering that there is a playful version coming out.

That sounds like you got a steal.  In general, no one is willing to sell one for less than they paid for it, and unless you happen to find the person that got a pile and need to move them out quick, you're going to pay more for it the longer  you wait!  Better to get it early and avoid the regret.

I believe this is the pair you found?

They've been at Target for awhile, so if you're interested, you should probably go soon to get some!  I don't know how much longer they'll keep them.

I don't think I've piled any ponies on top of my pets yet...  But my cat loves to hang out with me in my craft room/pony room.  In front of one of my pony shelves is especially comfies.

I love this post, thanks for sharing!  I had never seen many of those before.

I recently bought the pink duffel that is identical in size/shape to your blue one with Yum Yum on the side:

I originally bought it thinking I might actually carry things around in it, but that just seemed like a sin once I saw it.  I might eventually trade it, when I get around to updating my wishlist.

Oh man!  Silverdawn!  I'm so insanely jealous!   :jealous:

Everything is SO gorgeous!  And in such beautiful condition!  Congrats on an amazing swap!

As the kids would say, "I LITERALLY can't even!"

Thanks everyone!  :lovey:  I had such a blast and I learned so many new skills!  My hobby is "hobbies"  :lol: - I love to learn to do everything.  It's so rewarding to craft something yourself.  I really believe anyone can learn to do anything with enough time and patience. 

And money.  Money helps too.    :yikes:

I've been silently watching this thread!   :ninja:

I would enjoy going this year, Lawrenceville is about four hours from me.  My schedule is a little cray cray around that time frame, though, so I'm going to noodle on this for awhile.   

What's the attendance like every year?

I wanted to brag on all the work that went into making this sweet guitar prop for my Sweet Notes cosplay for this year's 2015 My Little Pony Fair!

First, I used the original as reference!  One notes the neck is stubby and short.  Originally, I planned to make a prop brush (tines and everything!), but decided since I was going as more of a "humanized" pony, a "real" looking guitar seemed more appropriate.

I took to sketching out the shape on poster board and made my pattern.  Looks right!  I elongated the neck to make it look more appropriately sized for a human.

I glued together two boards of pine (so heavy, and yet so cheap!) and cut my shape using a jigsaw and bandsaw and routed the edges for a smooth look.  The head peice was cute seperately so it could be mounted at an angle (for that  authentic guitar look)

Assembled!  I cut the fretboard of a much thinner piece of scrap wood to be mounted to the front.  I cut the MLP letters and the squiggly bridge section using a scroll saw and mounted to the front after drilling guitar string holes through the top and bottom.

The best part: Painting!  I made my own mix of acrylic paint, which was surprisingly difficult to match up to the neon orange color of the pony brush.  The secret ingredient was lots of neon yellow to tone down and brighten my orange.  The original brush is on top for reference.

Finer detail; I chose to paint on the details instead of cut individual pieces, as it became apparent that would be such an epically frustrating process.

The fret board was painted pale gold.  The frets are square dowels with a thin sheet of brass glued to the top.  Not exactly what I wanted, but I was crunched for time (start your cosplay projects early, kids).

I bought some cheap guitar parts from eBay (Thanks, China!) and mounted them to the guitar.  I also purchased real guitar strings for around $5, which ended up being cheaper than using beading wire (my first alternative).

I  couldn't help myself and applied a shimmery glitter spray to the top before applying a high gloss coat.  And here she is, all finished!  I even managed to find some gold cord to use as the strap.

The prop really brought my cosplay together.

ENHANCE!

As a costume tidbit, I dyed a white denim jacket and skinny jeans to the (almost) appropriate shade of pink and embroidered the back of the jacket with my Brother SE-500 (wonderful machine!).  I added some cute neon blue and yellow buttons to the front to make it more 80's.  The wig is hand sewn together from three separate wigs to really give it that 80's POW and all the other accessories were lucky finds.  How crazy are those shoes?  I'm just glad I didn't go face first into the floor.

I hope I made Sweet Notes proud!  I sure had a lot of fun making the whole getup and being a part of the Rockin' Beats cosplay group!

I just don't like the crazy designs everywhere.  It's way too heavy handed for my taste!
