Just finished a reroot commission for mermaid_splash, a microfiber perfume puff style for one of her Fizzys! (Fizzies? lol)

Aside from that I've got a boatload of WIPs going... Until I have more stuff worth posting, I've started a Flickr for my craft and custom stuff, which you can view here! I'm also open for reroot commissions now, yay! My pricing and info is here. Thanks, all!

I've decided to keep all my custom stuff to one thread since I've felt like I've been spamming too much content lately. I'm just making TOO MANY THINGS!

Last night I decided to try some HAIR EXPERIMENTS, and the subject of the evening was Pinkie! I can gladly say... it was a success!

She was rehaired in brushed microfiber yarn quite a while ago, but it still wasn't as totally on-model as I would have liked... and straw curls usually aren't super-tight enough for me to want to use on pinkie. That's why I tried this: mini safety pin curlers!

I used the super-mini gold safety pins, and used them much like those clip-on foam hair curlers, by first rolling a strip of moistened paper towel onto the safety pin for cushioning, like so:

Then I just rolled small sections of hair onto the safety pins, tightly from tip to root. After that, they got set with boiling water, and she sat in front of a fan to dry for a few hours:

The safety pins and paper towel bits were then removed caaarefully so as to not un-curl the curls, which left her with AMAZINGLY tiny poofy tight curls. <3 A really fun method that I haven't seen anyone do before!

Anyway, hope you like her. I should really re-do her cutie mark to be on both sides now, too... (dang it, hasbro.)

Hooray, my first fully-repainted G4 custom (and second full custom ever)! I've been wanting to do this girl for a while, Ringlet being one of my faaavorite G1s. <3

She's repainted in craft acrylic, rehaired with microfiber, and boil-permed - no product in those lovely curls! They're so light and bouncy... you wouldn't believe it used to be yarn!

I was originally making her to sell, but I think I love her too much... Maaaybe I'll just let her share some space on my desk for a while, haha.
