Lovely so far! I have a question though about the wings. I'm intrigued on the full construction of the wings, like the mesh part of the wings. When you get the top layer done how hard is it to temp the mesh so you can add the underside of the wings?

It's pretty simple; you just pull the mesh back with small pliers (carefully)... I never completely remove all of the mesh as it helps in the durability department.  Once I've fully sculpted the front side of the wings and have removed the excess mesh, I then sculpt the underside ... takes lots of patience

I'm always fascinated with the customization process
Like others have said, your wings are stunning! I also love the colors chosen for her.

I'll have to remember this, I have a pony that a friend wanted me to do and has waiting over 3 years for because I failed with the wings

Im curious as to what those things are that are supporting them as they dry. I ask because I myself use various things to support which are temporary - would love something more permanent like that

They are called "helping hands" many people use them for painting small details on models.  I use them for just about everything

They're also called "third arm(s)"; most jewelry supply places will also carry them under that name, so if you're looking for them on ebay, you can try that name too. They're usually used for holding a pair of tweezers, instead of a rod, though.

Love the pony, DH! The WIP pictures are so interesting - I love seeing how other people work! She's a gorgeous pony. Thank you for sharing, and good luck with her sale!
