So this is a very late post as I was very late in getting her to her new owner, ABrownCrayon, but she now made it to her and I can post and ask some questions & get some opinions.

First, the pony
She was a Sundance bait with very wild hair and symbols a little scuffed. Her hair is a mix of Envy & Candy Apple from Dollyhair. The wreath is made of Sculpey and then painted with acrylic paint. Her eyes and hoof symbol are painted with acrylic paint as well, and anything painted was sealed with modgepodge.

Eyes Close-up, I'm really proud of these because I really stink at eyes. lol! I know she has no lashes, but every time I tried on a practice pony, the lashes looked awful, so I left them off.

It was my first time using Sculpey and I was terrified of baking my bait as I only had one Sundance bait who wasn't body-damaged already. So I baked her symbol first and then glued it to her body. I tried two different types of glue - some regular elmer's and Aleen's tacky glue. The elmer's didn't work well, the wreath fell off twice, but the tacky glue seemed to be sturdy enough. Is tacky the best glue for this situation or has anyone found a better option? Unfortunately when she arrived to her destination the wreath had fallen off (again) and the two little ribbon tails had broken off as well. Even though I seriously did some super packing with her - Air pillows, packed her in tight to not move around, put a protective barrier of plastic packaging over her symbol so it was kinda a turned up cup over it to prevent anything from smashing into her symbol (kinda looked like "CI" <- that with the "I" being the pony symbol and the "C" being the plastic). I'm thinking the movement of the overall box did it.     So is there a better glue that may have been more secure?? Or is it best to just stick the whole pony in the oven next time?

Also, any constructive criticism or helpful hints are welcome here, I want to improve!


Oh and the other little thing I made for Robin. I was playing around and had the little puppy-face left over. She just got a new puppy a few months ago so I thought a "Puppy's First Christmas" type ornament would be cute:

Thank you for looking & any help!

I'm pretty sure KarRedRoses on the tp turned one into a plant pot. Covered her in terracotta-looking stuff and all. I think she used fake plants but I remember it looking awesome.
