hello! G4 fan converted to G1 collector!

[Moxie]

Hi! My name is Moxie, I am a connoisseur of dogs (dog show handler - taking a long hiatus and possibly 'retiring'), art, ponies and sloths
I fell in love with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in the beginning of 2011 or so. It wasn't until very recently that I found a love for the G1 ponies as well.
I am an artist, even though I hate referring to myself as such because I feel stuck up lumping myself under the same label as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and even modern folks like Craig McCracken ;P
Moxie is mostly an internet monicker and also the name of my OC who is a gimpy winged pegasus!

I am still learning but I would really like to get into restoration (but NOT customisation), it seems like a neat craft to get into.

Please excuse any questions that might come off as super obvious or stupid - this newfound love of G1 ponies came about just this year and it's not even April yet!

So hello, here's my required welcome post!

and lastly here is my very small but growing collection (not pictured is a Glory in the process of some minor beginner stuff restoration), a BEAUTIFUL pretty much flawless Cotton Candy and a Posey also in pretty good condition!
(and just a thought, but having moved to Arizona recently, I wonder if sunfading in summer speeds up the process or would be considered pony abuse? ;P)

Welcome to the Arena and to g1 collecting! And yeah, I'd say you're an artist, your work is beautiful!! I hope you'll make an art thread in the Arts and Crafts Corral someday and share all your art with us.

Beautiful first ponies you have there!

Welcome to the Arena! I showed and handled various dogs for over 20 years - its a fun but expensive and exhausting hobby! Ponies are so much easier [although they can be just as pricey ].

I hope you have fun on the boards. Your collection so far is beautiful - such pink hair on that Posey! Congrats

Cotton Candy was my first childhood pony and your girl looks stunning!  Don't be afraid to ask questions, we all had to start somewhere and we love meeting new collectors

Welcome fellow newbie, your Posey is just beautiful
