Stork swap - SWAP FINISHED!

[ZennaBug]

If both parents have straight hair, is it still ok to give the baby curls?
Sure!    Heck, my parents have straight hair and I was born with curls, even though they eventually disappeared.  It could happen. 

Would you object to an airbrushed pony?
Not at all!


I'm fidgeting with my designs now, to work out the twins.  So many possibilities!  I think I might even do two different ages, one regular baby and one newborn.

Ugh, never mind about my question. I have to start over again with a new bait.

[Katgyrl]

Oh, so sad PandaBerry! I've always admired BBE that have new eyes, they look so much better!

My pony is all done! I made a couple accessories, and I am super excited about how they are looking! Plus I found fabric that matches her symbol!

[Rainbowjuice]

Making some accessories to go with mine. I scrapped the twin idea since my other bait...well it 'died' :p

[Katgyrl]

I think I'm finally going to be done with my baby! I made several accessories and I'm very happy with how things turned out!

So I attempted to boil curl my baby's hair, but I was so nervous about boiling off her symbol that I didn't dip her in all the way and not for very long... Does anyone have tricks or tips for giving customs permanant curls? Would it be better to boil curl before all the painting? Or is there a trick to doing hair after they are all painted up?

[ApertureScience]

I usually have mine all painted up and sealed before I do any of the boil perming.  The steam from the water could disrupt the waterbase sealants like Mod Podge, but it's usually nothing that can't be solved with gentle handling and letting it dry back.  If you're still unsure, you can give it another coat of sealant after it dries.
I've done this a couple times before and never had any issues, but I'm not the most experienced customizer either, so maybe I've been doing a disservice this whole time. :/

i wondered, if we all finish before the actual shipping date, would it be possible to ship earlier?

and i agree with aperture, thats how i work too. ^^just avoid something with pressure arround your pony while drying. i had a hairband around a ponies head to fix the fringe and now you can slightly see it in the sealant. if you are very close and have the right light, but still.

Been there!
Had a massive line across Mainsail's legs. Had to repaint and resell *sob*

I usually hold my ponies hair in place with toilet roll (LOL) when it's completely dry it can simply be peeled away and gently wipe the bits that get stuck off with a baby wipe

[PandaBerryInSpace]

Still waiting on my new bait... I don't know what I'm going to do if this fails. X_x

[AnnaPommes]

don´t worry panda, i´m sure it will turn out right. *cheers* this will be great!


i just realized i nearly customized a baby buttons with missing ear. i´m glad i kept her because of the ear.

[Salli]

Twins, triplets, quadruplets... whatever the stork brings, I will love her/him/them (and so will the parents! )

Airbrushing: whatever you need to do, dear partner  I wasn't going to airbrush a FBR, but I may have to anyway  Also, I am going to have such a hard time parting with this creation...

[MyLittleLambie]

oh, I'm so excited to see the results of this swap!!!  Too bad I couldn't participate!!!  I love baby ponies!!!

My bait is prepped and I'm currently experimenting with various color variations and techniques. I think I've found a good paint mix for my FBR.

[hannaliten]

Sounds good Ren-Ren!
