I'm planning to make a full set of six Twinkle Eyes . . . This is the third pony, halfway done!
I wanted to make a Mardi Gras pony. Originally I planned to use Meadowbrook for her, but the extra I got with Wing Wishes whoever had a huge, visible scratch all the way down her back. (Booo.) Fortunately, I had a Sunset Sweety I was already dehairing and her body color turned out to be perfect! (Yaaay!)
Backcard story:
The moon hung full and orange over cobblestone streets crowded with laughing, dancing ponies. In the crowd, Carnival admired a colorful float being pulled along. Sequins of red, purple, and blue sparkled as they formed a rainbow leading up to a cloud made of gauze and glitter. On top of it stood the king and queen of the festival, tossing strings of beads, coins, and feathered masks down to the surging crowd.
Suddenly, the baby ponies scrambling up to the float cried out in dismay and the king and queen's smiles were replaced with worried looks. They had run out of trinkets to throw! Carnival knew just what to do; she blinked her eyes and the sequins started popping off the rainbow on the float . . . and each one turned into a lustrous string of beads. The crowd cheered as strands of sapphire blue or emerald green or ruby red rained down on them.
"But the float won't look half as good without the sequins," commented a pony near Carnival.
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that," she replied airly. Sure enough, the sequins fell away to reveal not pasteboard, but a real rainbow! "It's magic! Carnival magic!" the baby ponies sang as they danced in the glow of the rainbow, bedecked with beads. "Yes, it is!" laughed Carnival, winking her sparkling eyes.
