Wings and Things pony for DashesnDots

[TexasGal]

So, Dashesndots got her pony today, so i can now at least post pictures of her.  I had never sculpted wings before, but I figured a baptism by fire was the best way to get started, LOL!  So, here we go:

Pony had to be sculpted on twice, as the first set of wings broke during the baking.  I made the mistake of not adding enough wire to support the wings and the clay, so it broke off in the oven...I wasn't a happy camper, but lesson learned.  I took her out, waited on it to cool a bit, added more wire, more clay, sculpted a LOT more to repair the broken parts, and popped her back in the oven.  Oh, and yes, each feather was individually sculpted.

Dashesndots had listed that she loved green and gold tanagers, as well as blue and purple butterflies.  I took a mix of the two and added a hint of the blue and purple to the pony for extra drama.  Her eyes were styled after the tanager, and a fine coat of glitter paint was brushed over every yellow surface.  I had painted the poor feathers twice, because I loved the look of the tanager's feather pattern, but when I tried to duplicate it, I ended up messing up the pony, and went back to the original green.  I know she's not super showy like most other ponies, but again, still learning.  =]

She was sculpted with Sculpey, painted with acrylics, sealed with Testors Dullcoat, and haired in Dollyhair.  Be kind...again, she was my first pony with wings.
