My partner for the blind bag to brushable swap was the very charming rosierjay! I picked Rainbow Wishes and Twilight Sky to make, but it was a tough choice. I apparently forgot to take good pictures before I sent them off but I can give you the idea. Feel free to post pictures too, rosierjay!

) And even teeny-tinier stickers for Twilight Sky. Interestingly, the stickers came in box of MLP band-aids. Rainbow Wishes' hair is DH Mermaid (I think) and Lavendula Synthetic from RDUS. Her cutie mark is painted in acrylics, the star is glittery. She was a good girl and didn't give me any trouble.
Twilight Sky on the other hand was a mischievous devil from the beginning. He decided to be a colt, then refused to let me smooth out the clay (sculpey). I tried every trick I could look up. Then, he warped when I baked him, there's a big gap in his neck now, but his hair mostly covers it when he's on display.
I had not planned to make him glittery, but as I was giving him his fbr, I started threatening to glitter him if he didn't start behaving. He had a weird lump on his eye that I couldn't get rid of and the last straw came when I had to mix up new paint to patch a scuff and made it too dark but close enough that I didn't notice until it had dried. "That's it!" I said, "You're getting the glitter!"
I mixed black and white glitter into some triple thick and painted it on. I think I did two coats, then a top coat of just triple thick because a little of the glitter was still coming off. Just a piece or two, but I HATE getting glitter everywhere. Even though I love glitter. His hair is Water Nixie from DH and one of my new favorite colors.
He turned out really cute and was worth all the trouble! But it was pretty grrrr for a bit there.
