Celestial (AKA Fairy Bright) Ponies

[starbritesprinkles]

At the 2009 (or maybe 2010) My Little Pony Fair, Hasbro displayed concept art for a never-produced set of ponies now known throughout the community as "Fairy Brights." It is rumored that their official name is Celestial Ponies.

The amount of planning and work that went into these girls was insane. First I had to acquire four Flutter baits (thank you to Skeen and hannaliten). Then I had to "de-Flutter" them and almost chopped off my fingers several times in the process. I then filled in the holes left with wire mesh and Super Sculpey. THEN began a long period of research and much trial and error with the paint. I finally got it right the week we were set to leave for Florida. So I got to paint eyes and symbols and sculpt/bake their antennae before we left and had to rehair and install the antennae when we arrived in Orlando. And it so happened that I forgot my tinsel at home (I always forget at least one thing when we travel), so we set about finding a Jo Ann. *lol* I worked all day Friday on rehairing and painting and inserting antennae and finished that evening.

Painted with Apple Barrel and Delta Ceramcoat acrylics. Antennae created with Super Sculpey and floral wire then painted with some off-brand neon acrylic paint. Sealed with Testors Dullcote over the FBRs and Delta Ceramcoat Matte over the eyes and symbols. Symbols and antennae then received a coat of glow-in-the-dark glitter. Rehaired with Dollyhair nylon and Sulky pearlescent "thread."

So without further ado, here are the ponies I have named Zenith, Aurora, Nebula, and Nova.
