Already posted on the Arena but thought I'd share with you all here as well

Well now I was out on a walk around the house when I noticed something bright and out of place in one of our smaller trees. Curious, I went to go an investigate but before I could get any closer the critter flew off to another small tree! Well I figured I'd leave it alone till I heard it start to cry. Slowly I moved to the tree to see if I could spot the critter... Low and behold, stuck on one of the smaller branches starting though the leaves was an Elusive Summer Wing Pony!
We watched each other for a few minutes before I dared to try and touch her. Next thing I knew the little thing tried to bite me! So I stood there, hands on hips and huffed. "You're stuck there aren't you? And you won't let me help?" The little pony whinnied and tried to get unstuck, only to tire her poor little self out. I waited a little longer before attempted to get her out again, assuring her I wasn't going to hurt her. After some gentle coaxing I was able to get her out and on the palm of my hand
"What a little cutie!" But before I could say another word, the little pony flew out of my hand and onto a fence post. Giving a shake she turned back to me and bowed in thanks. It was a little odd in my mind but I figured that was just how these ponies were.
After a little bit I got the nerve to ask her if she would honor me in a proper photo shoot indoors with the assurance I would let her go after that. Just wanted a few lovely photos of her And to my surprise she gave me a nod and flew back over to me and landed in my hand once again. So here are those lovely indoor shots
After the shoot she did finally say something to me, which shocked me because I thought she couldn't speak. She asked if I could find her a new lovely home, to which I agreed

Now wasn't that a great way to introduce my newest custom? Her name is Dancing Butterflies, which fits nicely for a Summer Wing Pony, don't you thing She originally started life as a wingless Lady Flutter with a hard plastic body and regrind... and rusty insides ^^; I cleaned her up and gave her a FBR with Createx Opaque Yellow with her symbol work also being a few mixes of Createx Colors. Same for her eyes. She is sealed with Dulcote and her eyes sealed with Triple Thick. Rehaired with DH Butterfly and pearl beads sewn into her hair along with the seed bead chain on the side. Her wings were made using Pop's Tutorial with a twist. You can't see it in the photos but I added several layers of Gold Pearl Ex Powder to give her an interesting shimmer in the wings The wings were also designed after one of the Moon Moth species and redesigned on the computer. They were a pain in the tail to do with the way I do Summer/Windy Wings for ponies and now I think I need to find another way to do them...
In any case I am considering selling this girl... or maybe Auctioning her would be best to get a decent idea on pricing for her. Or I can have offers made XD Just remember she will be a pain to pack because of her wing tails ^^;
