" Things with Wings" Swap, FINISHED

[TexasGal]

Poses:  For g1, I'm ok with any of them, g4, same thing.  For g3, I am majorly fond of any baby poses, Donkey pose (have an army, seriously), Kimono, Diva, and Wisteria.  And, feel free to use whatever pose you need to to make things work.

Pinned Butterfly?  As long as it's a butterfly or moth, I'm ok.  NO SPIDERS.  I would seriously have a panic attack.  xD 

Feathers? maybe...I'm still not super sold on them, but I'm not one to squish anyone's creativity!  Still, if you can get by without them, I'd rather them not be there.  >.< 

Open wings/in flight?  I'm in the same conundrum myself.  I like them either way, so whatever works best for you! 

Flocking?  Sure, go right ahead!  xD

Partner, is yarn hair or another alternate fiber hair ok with you?   Sure, that is fine.  I don't mind you sculpting it either!  I'd rather not have embroidery floss, and yarn is great if it's puffy and looks like the dragony-dude above. 

Butterfly miniature in a jar?  YES!  I want one, even if you aren't my partner!  Seriously.  I need one.  xD

Real feathers: no thanks, again I am not sure what the customs office would think about them
Flocking: I'm fine with it.
Poses other than my favorites: sure, if the design calls for it and it will look good go for it!
Alternate hair: something like the reference pic would be lovely So I will say yes top alternate hair.
Miniature butterfly in a jar: oh, yes please!

Bait selected and prepping... so much prepping.  GLUE

[TexasGal]

I've been trying to catch up on last minute projects today and get to feeling a bit better, but tomorrow after the cable guy comes to fix our screwy internet, I will try to go get some supplies, and hopefully I can get started with the prep work tomorrow night.  I am having a hard time deciding though...

Question for y'all.  I have only used sculpy, and only done smaller wings/feathers, but I am tempted to use some air dry clay for this project.  What do y'all think?  Branch out into a new medium and experiment a bit, or just try with the sculpy for now?

[Sarahlacewing]

Personally I don't mind of you experiment but I'd like a proven durable clay so that I know the piece will last and ship well. I use both and have no real preference otherwise.

See, that was partially my concern.  I know how to pack for the sculpy and whatnot, so I'm not so worried about that, but as the other is untested, I'm slightly nervous.  >.<

I use Apoxie Sculpt that I get in 1/4lb amounts off of Amazon (yay, Prime!). It's a 2 part air dry no shrink and I've found it wonderful so far. Plus it's harder than any other air dry I've used.

[Sarahlacewing]

Apoxie is definitely tough and durable.  Harder than sculpey.  I use it for all of my very small work. 

However, it's costly. Other aridry clays can crumble.  What brands are you looking at?

[brighteyes]

I'm making really good progress and I'm so excited about the custom I'm making for my partner.  I've got the bait prepped and am working on sculpting now.  I'm using Apoxie and I'm loving it.  I had used sculpey in the past but it was so soft and I hated the idea of baking the ponies.  Working with the apoxie is like a dream.  So much better than Sculpey! 

Anyway, here are my answers to the questions:

Real Feathers? I think I'd prefer not to have feathers.  I worry about how I would clean them.

Flocking?  I'd be up for that. 

Partner, is yarn hair or another alternate fiber hair ok with you?   I like the yarn in the reference picture.  Before seeing it I would have said I'm not okay with yarn, but using the material that way made a great effect.  So if it's teased out and done in a style similar to the photo I'd be cool with yarn.  I don't like it if it still looks like yarn in the finished product though, if that makes sense.  I'm also not a fan of embroidery floss either.

Butterfly miniature in a jar? OMG that's probably the cutest thing I've ever seen!  Yes, yes if you are my partner I would love one!

[Stormpony]

I dont mind a base for my pony if my partner wants to go that way. I dont mind some real feathers but sculpted is preferred. I love the whizzer, posey, bride and shs pose in g1s  and party cake,citrus sweetheart and core 2 poses for g3 not a big fan of the broken neck pose. No pinned insects please as they wont get thru customs here in aus. I have stated this on my form please not alt fibre hair or sculpted hair. Flocking is ok if it works with the design.. just a not too, partmer I love bling! So whether it be shimmer paints or rhinestones etc im a big fan. As with wing designs I love open or half up and open wings a la ambar/woosie/ darkhorse-esque wings

[carlabarla]

I'm excited to work on my custom! Currently trying to collect all the pieces and figure out what colors to paint it.

Guess I should play question catch up lol, I'm so bad at keeping up with them.

Real Feathers? I don't really think so, they might get super dusty in my house and or eaten by children/pets

Flocking?  I love flocking its so fuzzy! Feels so nice :3

Partner, is yarn hair or another alternate fiber hair ok with you? I'm down with anything, I love the poofy look of yarn hair and I don't really have any ponies with made with any other types of hair so it be neat to add to my collection.

Butterfly miniature in a jar?
Very cute idea!
