My first custom

[JadeCade]

As you may know, I have zero artistic abilities. I don’t even have decent handwriting much less the skills needed to paint or draw. But thank you to technology for doing the heavy lifting for me! And to AHorseofEveryColor for the base.

May I present, Miss Foxy (name is a WIP)

I have recently read and become obsessed with the book series All for the Game by Nora Sakavic. I was also recently gifted a Cricut Joy for my birthday last year. So this seemed the natural conclusion.

I haven’t seal her with anything since it’s an adhesive vinyl but what do our more experienced customizers think? Should I? If so, how and with what?

If anyone is curious, her paw print symbol is 1.15 inches tall. I think if I do this again in future I’d shrink it just a touch more, it was a bit tricky getting it to curve with her body without creasing.

I think you did a great job! Miss Foxy is so cute!

Cricuts are fun! I don't think she will need sealing if you aren't handling her alot. I love the hair colour

she looks beautiful!

I never thought about using the cricut for ponies. My niece has one. How does it stick on? Any foreseeable peeling? no bumps from curves?

For this particular pose, her hip curved right where I was going to place the symbol, a slight adjustment let me avoid it. It seems to be sticking just fine with no bumps, creases, or raised edges. Yet. But it hasn’t even been 24 hours so we’ll see. I’m excited to try this again though!

I think the cricut would make a great stencil for glitter symbols!!

Very nice! Love how crisp the symbol is.
