UK Ponycon fundraising auction - Sagittarius the Archer

[daisyd]

So this lady was my contribution to this years fundraiser - naturally she's a bead pony! I never intended her to be one though...I had issues with the paint I used not drying (again!) so to stop her from being a sticky pony forever I covered her with beads.

My original idea was to do the twelve signs of the zodiac all over in a TAF style pattern, but as she was now going to have to be beaded I knew I wasn't going to be able to do that, beads being rather large compared to the tiny designs I had wanted to put on. So I thought I would choose just one, and have the astrological symbol on one side, and the constellation 'map' on the other.

This left me with only one choice really  as Sagittarius is the biggest (and rather flashy looking) constellation, I chose that.

So Sagi has, on her right side, the constellation, on her left she has the arrow symbol from the zodiac.

Some 'net research showed me that purple is the accepted colour for Sagittarius, so she has purple touches in her hair and symbols. She has GITD hair, and the stars in her eyes are also done with GITD paint.

Hehe, the eyes were an accident! I had masked them prior to spraying, but one of the bits of tape must not have stuck down properly all the way around, and when I took them off, one of the eyes was half oversprayed black  so I just thought I'd spray both, outline them with GITD paint later on. Of course, THEN I realised the paint wasn't going to dry so had to come up with another idea!
