Whew! This girl has taken me some time....and has had a few false starts, and is far from perfect.....now that I've gotten my own criticisms out of the way, let me talk about what went good :)

I love, love, love Rochi's persona Lady Tulip, so I was excited to get a chance to make her. A couple of problems presented themselves though- a yellow alicorn does not exist in the current line...heck, not even a yellow pegasus exists! so, I would have to get over my fear and finally break out my airbrush....and sculpey. The sculpey venture went okay...until the wings kept falling off. I ended up pinning them...and then the pins ran into the neck ring. Had to trim the neck ring. Next up was the paint. Had a bit of play with the airbrush and thought I knew what I was doing....first coat got washed off the pony...as did the second :lookround: Finally, the third try was good....and three or four coats later, I was happy with the overall coverage. From there, it was relatively smooth sailing. I had never done an eye repaint before....and I sort of went my own direction and not a Hasbro direction. The hair was actually fun- and was dipped into an ORANGE dye bath for only a couple of seconds- I have no idea how some of it turned more of a red, but I like it. Of course, I got the paint a bit too thick near her hair plugs, so I had some trouble getting the hair IN. I was nervous about doing a boil set for the curls considering the dye on the hair and the full body paint, but that also went okay... and FINALLY I have a pony I can show Rocio :)
