Pretty Parlour Ivy - re-sparkled!

[Sugar]

Although this is partway a brag, it's also informational, so I plunked this in the Corral.

So I finally got round to re-sparkling Ivy's empty eye sockets.   Slow me.  But she's done!  It was pretty easy, once I got the hang of using my tweezers to place the gems.  I used Swarovski crystals in PP18, perfect size, thanks for the info, hathorcat!  Although I hemmed and hawed about colour, the lack of availability of pink and my own budding streak of thriftiness prompted me to select Crystal AB, which gave a gorgeous rainbow effect that I figure should please any G2 that happens to need eye crystal replacements.  Best part - I got 72 of the little things for under $4 on eBay, so yay!   And I used simple Tacky Glue to hold them in place, and so far, so good.

Thanks everypony for your help, and here are the results.   The photos just don't do her justice - they really scintillate in real life.
