This swap sounds like so much fun! And you have a newbie catagory, right? I have loads of sculpy I would love to try out a carousel pony! (You can bake G3s, correct?) I already have a design in mind!

Okay I stayed up until 2 am last night looking at carousel horses. I am in. I have clay and such but I admit I've not actually done much sculpting, and never on a pony so it makes me a little nervous, but it sounds like a blast. Would I be allowed to be in the no sculpting required category and ATTEMPT sculpting. Or is it not allowed at all?

Nothing wrong with that, you would not believe the reference I own. I have ridden carousels on both coast and in 5 or is 7 states now.

I would love to sign up for this but im waiting on my holiday swap pony to arrive with her new owner before I sign up for any more swap:) fingers crossed it will arrive soon so I can join in the fun x

@Diamond! Good news. Is it just me or does it seem like there is a non-carousel horse carousel trend? I know I get excited when I see carousel and then it ends up being all bugs/zoo animals, etc. Which are pretty... but not the same to me.

well you should be able to put on your list your likes and dislikes and your wants.
I for one love the halloween themed carosel ponies customizers have done in the past and would rather have something OOAK like that then based on any real carosel horse.
others may want a replica of a real one, adn others may want a non-horse. there's a lot of variety in what could be created.

If you really don't want to create something that's not a "traditional horse" - just let the swap moderator know when you send in your list. I'm sure they will try to pair you accordingly

Ooooh! I hadn't thought of zebra markings! That's such a cool concept.

Whoop! Almost forgot! We went to the Como Zoo this summer, and I took some pictures of the carousel!

I was short on time, so I'm afraid that's all I have - this year.

Lol. sorry I wasn't talking about the swap, I was talking about IRL bug carousels and such.

Roogna · « **Reply #83 on:** December 29, 2012, 03:57:27 PM »

oh! lol.
well, the hubby and I rode a Dr. Suess one while at the MLP Fair in orlando this year

in Islands of Adventure I believe..
those were some crazy strange and cool carosel creatures - and many of them had a moving part via a lever you could use while riding!

There have been several new craves that feature endanger species and the like to get more attention. The old carvers though did a big selection of none equines including a Teddy Bear, Roosters, Frogs and strokes. I am old school though, I love that the new stuff is out there but given a chance I am gonna ride an old one before a new one. But that is me.

Oh and is it January 1st yet?

Sooo...I'm too lazy to read back through it. Is this a go?

I will get info posted tonight. As I was working out details, a few specifics changed. Carousels, even painted ones, can be pretty detailed and time consuming. As a result, for this swap I am asking participants to have at least 3 positive feedbacks from customs they have made, have been a member 6 months of more, and have completed at least 10 pony customs. I want to ensure that everyone gets a pony and the last few swaps I'm been in have had flakers.

I'm tired of making replacement ponies.

That being said there will still be a little to no sculpting category and a sculpting category! I can't wait to see these amazing works of art!
