Back in the olden days, oooh, lets call it “APRIL 2018” I bought a bunch of second hand My Little Ponies to do makeovers on. I then got a job, and stopped doing the makeovers.
Well after that short term job ended (2 months later) and I have been noodling around mostly writing – but the weather is nice enough to sit in the back room again without the extra heater on so I can craft again.
I have started working on some of my Unfinished Objects.
This pony was originally pale blue, very stained vinyl, with horrible ratty rainbow hair and mane. I had wiped it clean with acetone, and snipped off the offending hair and redone the mane and tail with epoxy modelling resin; but then I was at a loss. I had no plan and no idea.
I decided to paint the thing purple solely because I had some purple craft paint. So many layers of paint. About 6-7.
I noodled around with pink for the eyes etc but I really hated where it was. So the pony sat like this for weeks, MOCKING ME.

Anyway I got over it and started playing around with white. I added stripes and that was…ok. But not enough. So I mixed black paint with the purple and added more stripes. Then I started highlighting with pastels and a tiny bit of yellow pencil, and voila!
I’m calling her “My Little Zebra”.
So I have about 10 more. I wonder what I will do next?
