'The Archived' custom blind bags

[dippindot]

If you enjoy YA fiction and haven't read The Archived yet, remedy that.  It's fantastic and original, and just came out last week.  Check out the cover for some of my inspiration for these customs - visitors can't see pics , please register or login


There's a launch party for the book this Friday, and as a gift for the author, I've made two blind bag customs based off of characters from her book!   

I used a glittery Minuette and a Royal Riff as bait.  I took two tiny key charms and some thin leather lace to make the necklaces, and a pair of old earrings to make the bracelets.

Then I broke out the paint.  I gave Mac (Minuette) a thunderstorm for a cutie mark, and tinted her eyes gray like the character in the book.  Wes (Royal Riff) had fracture lines painted onto his existing music symbols, since they were almost perfect already, lol.  He also has a bit of eyeliner added to match his character.

They were a fun afternoon's diversion from homework.  I hope the author enjoys them!

They are very cute! I like the key necklaces!

What a thoughtful idea!  I'm sure the author will love these!  I haven't read the book, but the ponies tie in nicely to the style of the cover.

Thanks!

I guess I should mention that I know the author likes ponies, so I'm not just some crazy girl giving ponies away to random people, lol.  One of my friends gave her a Roseluck blind bag at her last book launch (or possibly a convention.. can't remember), and she loved it ^_^
