G4 Blind Bag to Brushable Swap -- SHIPPING AND RECEIVING!

[CottonTALE]

Oh, I forgot to add to some of the things I wouldn't mind as extras: I like embroidery supplies too like aida (the stiff sheets used for cross-stitching) and embroidery flosses.

[PaintedHooves]

I don't have any of the BBs on my list   I think it would be really neat to display the BB next to the brushable!

[UrocyonFox]

as far as my blindbags I listed the only one I don't have is Tealove but that's because she was in that euro wave which I only have a few of and i realize how hard they can be to come by so no worries!

[CottonTALE]

Woohoo! my hair order came in now I just need to seal and hair up the pony and I'll be all done

[TexasGal]

I can't remember who all I asked for, but I think I have them. Honestly, I would love to have extras, so that is no biggie to me.  I also would love anything for extras.  I love to bead, so beads or charms or trinkets of any kind are great, customizing supplies, hair, baits, etc.  Like I said, I love anything cute, cuddly, fun, anything like that.  I love to draw as well, so anything from coloring books to colored pencils or journals and I'm happy. 

I can't remember if I said any of that already or not.  xD

I've got two done.
But I've been feeling kind of stressed out and depressed so a third may not happen

*hugs* everyone needs a hug when they're feeling down. Hope you get to feeling better, and I wouldn't worry about any pony stuff, I'm only doing 2 as well.

There we go! the body is officially finished with a nice long tail and I shall be working on rehairing the head tomorrow when I get back from shopping for extras for my partner and for another private swap

I'm definitely taking this swap as a learning experience... I now know that taking the neck plug entiely is a must when dealing with zip-ties and there is a chance of snapping your sealed paint when trying to bend back the neck plug to put in said-tail.

I'm doing eyes and symbols right now. Got distracted with a sick child and then getting sick myself.

Found an extra g4 bait I forgot I had, and think I might start on a third pony tomorrow.  Might just fill in from there with small extras and call it done.  =]

Me too! I just ruined her hair because I didn't realize the glue would melt if I put the head in boiling water to get the neck plug back in. Among many, many other lessons I'm learning . . . 

[rosierjay]

to get my heads back on i usually hold them in front of a stove. (electric is best)
close enough to feel it, far enough to not be hot for me.
when it gets softer i put the plug back in using a pair of pliers and then glue the plug back on.

all of my first customs were g4. so it was so weird when i did a g1 one... i was like... why is there so much space. holy moly look how easy the head went back.

[Ren-Ren]

Hair dryers are GREAT for getting G4 heads soft enough to slip back on the plug.

Hmm, I'll have to give this one a go when I am ready to re-assemble her.

In the meantime, I am working on a G3 custom I have had stored in my to-do bin... I'm trying to finish the custom ponies I have started so I can eventually sell them to earn money to buy an airbush to make painting much smoother.

[Summer-blade]

I'm done all my customs for this swap I should be anyway I might go back and do touch ups
