Crocheting and WIP - it's been a while!

And boy, have I been busy.

My blindbags have dwindled down in frequency, as work has taken over. I've also become enamored with crocheting - but I'm working on a lot right now, and I'd love to share it with you.

Firstly, I'm working on a commission for the brony why bought my first Octavia. They've gone from this...









To this - there is a lot of work to go still, but it's the CMC, if you can't tell. I've got some other super-secret projects in the back ;)


For another brony, I'm working on a plushie. Look at this fat little pony. It looks like a hippo right now...but it'll be a pony.

She's also crocheted - never would have guessed, huh?







Lastly for this post...a hat. I've been trying to do some hairing with yarn, but when a little crazy and it's covered in way too MUCH yarn. Now I have a lot of work to do, but this is what I do in transit.

Between all of these and my super-secret blind bags, as well as an art trade...

Wouldn't it be nice not to work?

My Little Pony Custom Blind Bag: Princess Luna, and bonus! Princess Celestia!

Hello everyone!

This baby is a project I've been working on and nursing for a while. I had to stay up until about 3am to finally finish her, but after weeks, she's done!

Princess Luna was originally a Twilight Sparkle. I've seen many customized from Rainbow Dash, but after review, Rainbow Dash's hair is nowhere near Luna's. So with this in mind I started on Twilight. This required no paring down, but lots of pro-create. She was heavily modified with shoes, a fixed tail cap so it curls like Luna's, completely new hair, an elongated horn, a necklace, crown, and wings. One of the reasons she sat around for so long is she's so DAUNTING.


But after so much work, I buckled down and finished her.

Same as the others she was painted with acrylics - many, many, many layers. A glittery varnish was used on her shoes, necklace, crown and horn to make it sparkle...in the show, they do!

Now, when McDonald's had the Happy Meal toys back in February, I bought a full set from my former co-workers at McDs. On impulse one day I bought about 6 Celestias, thinking "Oh, well, I'll customize them for people!". And I still hadn't. It occurred to me that she is the perfect size to be of scale to blind bag ponies!


Unfortunately, the pictures don't do her justice. She was brushed with a white metallic paint after the base white paint, and it shows up horribly on camera but - again - looks good in person.

Celestia is for sale HERE, and Luna is for sale HERE.
