First Custom! **** new pics pg 4! }

I think the worst part of this whole thing is how long it takes to make the plugs!
 
I made a rerooting tool out of a snipped embroidery needle and the handle off a cheap wooden spoon. It's ghetto as heck, but it works, and it only cost me a couple bucks. No need to make individual plugs that way. My first rehair attempt only took me about two hours with no previous experience.
 
I hope you can find time to be left undisturbed.

Every day after work I have a good hour. x]
I kind of like it, it's really time consuming but it's soothing.
....although I've only been doing like ten a night. xDDDDD
Tonight I'm going to try to finish the rest! (notlikely)
 
Good luck with your custom, hope she turns out super awesome :D
 
She's looking great! The more you rehair the faster you get at it. :D I thought my first rehair would never be finished, but she got there. You will too. :D
 
well, I'm moving along, but slowly.
I decided to take a break from the hair and work on the body.
I have never even attempted to sculpt anything before but I don't think the boots came out too bad!
kinda fail, but not the worst! xD

I was trying to make ankle booties... x.x;;;;;
The "buckles" on the front are lopsided and not smooth and I didn't place the ribbon so well, but hey.
a little more practice and I wont even super glue my hands together next time! xD
 
I am lovin' the leopard spots on those booties! Customs really are a labor of love. Hang in there, you'll get her done!!
 
practice makes perfect
there are even some of use who wont even touch sculpting
this is also a custom of a personal nature and will be loved by you and the one who recieves her
 
Awee those booties are sooo cute ! Very nice job :)
 
I can't wait to see her when she's all done. She is going to be really cute!
 
sorry I haven't been updating, I got a new puppy and she's been occupying my time!

I'll post some updates tonight though, I painted her cheetah spots on and am working on the cutie mark!
if I could only force myself to finish the rehair (so, so close!) I'd be nearly done!
 
okay guys, i did a little more hair and painted the leopard print on the back end and sketched out the cutie mark. nothing is sealed yet, btw.
