I am so frusterated, lol - when I did ceramic Twist, I got nice clean pics taken. I can't do that anymore! Argh!
Anyway, here's my third custom ceramic Pony - Mimic! She's quite a bit larger than the others (and she's not a very well-made ceramic - someone put her together kinda crooked-like, and her mouth, horn, and legs, don't meet properly, so it looks funny when you pay attention to it, lol). I painted her w/ Delta Ceramcoat paint for ceramics - that stuff's awesome when done, but, gosh, it takes forever! You have to put a teeny dab on w/ one paintbrush, then rub it in w/ another. You have to do the entire thing this way, and that paint goes on thin, so it takes MANY coats! Luckily, Mimic is light, and I like the way she turned out w/ one coat, so I left it.
The hair, otoh, is a different story, lol.
Mimic is darker than her Pony counterpart - I left it that way, though, because I liked it. My hubby kept saying, 'I still think it should be lighter', lol. Her mane and tail are the four colors of her counterpart - closer to the actual shade than the body is. ^-^ Her symbols - one's a tad bigger than the other, but I like the smaller one better, lol. If I can ever get some better pics again, than I will get close-ups of the symbols and eyes. Speaking of her eyes, I painted them w/ a shimmery green acrylic paint, and added a 'twinkle' to them w/ white paint. I even added some 'blush'. ^-^
Anyway, here she is:
Thanks for looking!
