My very first customs!! and a question.
« on: April 13, 2014, 11:56:53 AM »
So...some background, first of all. I'm graduating from high school this year, and I wanted to incorporate ponies somehow into my grad party and...this happened.

They are made from Blank Ponies, rehaired with Dollyhair (Forget-me-not for the blue ones and Raincloud for the silver) and tinsel, and painted with those fancy-pants sharpie paint marker things.

My school's initials are WLW, and the colors are blue & silver.  ^.^

I haven't really styled them yet, so please excuse the tinsel flying everywhere, etc. ^^;

Also, a question. I thought it would be kind of cool if I could get people to sign them at my party, but wasn't sure how to do this. Would ultra-fine sharpies bleed and/or damage the pony? What should I use? Or would this be a bad idea in general?

Thanks for looking!! :)

Those are very cool!  Sharpies do bleed over time.  You could use India Ink, but until it is sealed, it can smear.  You might look into paint pens?

Thanks everyone! :blush: Colorscapesart, I had that idea too, but wan't sure if a bunch of high schoolers would be able to use paint pens without getting the paint all over the place... ^^;

You could always have them sign in pencils and then trace over the siggies in acrylics.
