On-model rehaired Lyra!

[Rainbowjuice]

I just want to pet his Lyra.
I'm super excited to get my Twilight from the lovely SilkSpindle.

I WILL PET HER FOREVER AND FOREVER

[flutterwry]

Oh no my friend, we be in total agreement!   

*wipes sweat from face* Pheeewww! 

The rehairing looks KILLER and I think this method will allow folks more control over matching the hairstyles in the show.  Really slick work <3

Totally. I want to see Fluttershy this way. I think it could get her the perfect combination of volume and sleekness that her heir style requires. I hope you'll make lots more to show us!

Absolutely!!! And Twilight and Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash (Rarity has, in my eyes, more of a nylonesque hairdo, hasn't she?) and the CMC and Mrs. Cake's updo and Babs Seed's choppy hair and Hoity Toity's Rokoko/Lagerfeld wig - if you manage to leave the strands long enough, I am sure one could also create Celestia's and Luna's floooooowwwing manes...

SilkSpindle, you see, there's lots of work for you now!

*gigglesnort* OK. You won this thread.

Umm... could you, please, post photos once you have her?  I'd love to see whether the finished Twilight correlates with my imagination - or maybe even exceeds it?

Aahh gosh so many nice comments while I was away! And color theory madness, lol...

Anyway, I am currently working on making the whole mane 6!

Here's a WIP of fluttershy with bedhead, finishing her at some point today:

And here's a mini-sized test of some Rarity curls to try out boil perming, it works!

I'll use a slightly lighter purple if I can get it, it's a surprisingly hard color to find in (nice) yarn.  Might order this, yarn stock image vs. eyedropper'd (non-gradient) rarity screenshot:

But Rarity's hair has such a variance of purple tones, it's a hard choice to make...

I need to keep an eye on you, I may need a few ponies

[Rainbowjuice]

I will be spamming the brag thread when Twilight comes home.
Could be a while, she only got shipped off today.
Silky, please let me know when she gets to you

I will!

I managed to get a hold of my own Twilight in the meantime, who I'll be testing the rehair on first... I was going to try out adding some extra plug holes in the front of the head to make better shaped bangs, since I couldn't get quite that much bang volume on Lyra when I tried to get it to lay the same way. I'll post photos on that one as I work on it! (I understand if you don't want me punching holes in your twilight though, I'll PM you once I've done my test version for your preference, haha)

Personally I like the purple you used for your test curl.

HA! Pantone for the WIN.

But...Pantone not perfect either! I took a snippet off the color of the image on this thread...

You're right.  I need to recalibrate my monitor.  And I think the CMYK conversion had an effect too.
I was just being a wiseacre.

[Galactica]

Cuute! I love your re-hairs

[michelle53]

Silk, you did an awesome job with Lyra!  For using no product, her hair style is just amazing.  Excellent work:). Don't listen to neighsayers, clearly they love the smell of their own    too much.

[elvenwine26]

HOw cool!  I love how the yarn has such body to it while remaining soft and smooth looking. 

[NoDivision]

Love the rarity curl. I did some ringlets on one of my MH dolls who has a yawn wig and was really pleasantly surprised that it took a boil perm so well. It really is very versatile!

[jennovazombie]

Oh my gosh that rarity curl is amazing!

The more I look at these rehairs, the more I fall in love with them. <3

[keylimepony]

So pretty! Lyra has such great minty colors. Her mane and tail look so soft and shiny.

[Shenanigans]

She looks amazing Hard to believe it's yarn! I thought it was nylon hair! It looks fab
