Any ideas for customizing for a SA Blossom??

[Meadowhaven]

I adore Blossom, and one of my passions is to collect everything to do with her! <3 The only Blossom nirvana that I am absolutely certain I will never get my hands on is the South Africa variant Blossom, because she is so amazingly rare and rightfully expensive!  ^__^;; 

Here's what she looks like:

It appears that she's lavender with a magenta mane and tail?  I think that's a magenta hair color, anyway, like the birthflower ponies.  What type of hair would you recommend to match it?

As for the pose...that's a hard one!  She looks like Majesty's body pose with Firefly pose head??  The closest pony I can find to match in both color and pose is Princess Sparkle/Amethyst:

She'd require some modding to remove her horn and 3D symbol and fill in the holes, but I think she's the only option?  (Is it even possible to remove the 3D symbols without major damage, and what would you use to fill the holes?)  I'm open to all other suggestions, too!  Please let me know what you think!  How would you make a SA Blossom custom?

You could take Windy's body with Sprinkles's head.  They might be a close enough match to get the lavender color you want for the body.

Yes, I agree with the above! That'd be much easier and better probably? Exciting project!!

Oh, that's a great idea!  Might save a little work, too.  I wonder how well they would match up--I've never tried to swap pony's heads before!  ^__^;;

She has a Firefly pose head and Moonstone pose body! Almost all the SA ponies had mixed up heads and bodies, which is why they look so quirky.

Ive made two Blossom's a while ago I used dusty rose for her hair colour. I did a full body repaint on her too. I rooted round her tail hole to give the illusion of a rooted tail, which is unquie to the SA ponies.

You should definitely listen to PKW.  She is the best faux-SA customizer.  ::nods::

Yes you're right PKW, my SA Windy was created with a Glory head and a Mondancer body, with an almost 100% body head match *lol* That's kind of funny.

I'd recommend just FBR rather than trying to match the colors of 2 different ponies in a head swap. That way it would look more accurate.

Oh my goodness, PinkKittyWinks, how gorgeous is she??  I am blown away.  I love the rooted tail, too! <3<3

And I love your Blossoms, you did a great job on them!

Thanks panda The SA ponies are fun to make aren't they?

Yes funny but at the same time difficult due to the different tail rehairing method. Closing the tail hole appropriately with Apoxie but trying to rehair later is not that easy.

[pinkkittywinks]

That is not easy Panda! I cheat

What I do is put in a regular tail through the tail hole, then I root round the tail hole to disguise it
