Argentina Gingerbread

Custom pony figure of the generation 1 International variant of U.S. mlp named Gingerbread. This was the Gingerbread mlp varied design produced in Argentina.

----SOLD----</u>

Also pictured is a custom I did of U.S. Gingerbread, yes there is a deal! Take both versions of Gingerbread- U.S. and International variant designs for $45.00 each~

For this custom, I decided to take some creative liberty. I noticed there were two different types of Argie Gingy with different colored manes. One had a deeper red stripe in mane, other had bright flaming firebird red. One had the yellow stripe, one had a hint of green in the yellow stripe. So I used both reds for the red stripe, and a greenish yellow for the yellow stripe.

The pony appeared to have pale pink or washed-out colored eyes that appeared white in one photo, so I decided to make them white with pink shadow/lashes but in the U.S. Twinkle Eye method.

Argie Gingerbread is a unicorn while the U.S. Gingerbread is a earth pony~

So for the pony base, I custom engineered a pose from two different generation 3 ponies- body of a orange glitter pony, and head of a unicorn. Carved out the irises/pupils of the original eyes, glued some white leather inside the head and set the Twinkle Eyes in with Jeweler’s glue after painting.

Entire pony coated in Gesso to give the paint a texture to bond to. Full body repaint with a base of pale gray acrylics, then several delicate fully dried layers of white.

Eye lashes and shadows painted in my own style, cutie mark also hand-painted by me.

All paint work sealed in Artists Varnish.

Mane and tail rooted in synthetic hair:

Red stripe- candy apple and firebird red nylon dollyhair

Yellow stripe- mojito monofiber RetrodollsUS hair

Blue stripe- waternixie nylon dollyhair

Attire- started with the bodice. Cut from a red cotton fabric with white berries printed on it. Lined with seafoam green pompoms along the hem, white bow at the middle, golden hearts down the middle. Front chest piece was stitched from the same material, but lined with white bias tape along the hems, the same golden heart beads down the middle with a pale yellow star button at the top with light green bow. Glass pink bead necklace at the top with light green bows at each end.

Gave the bodice sleeves of cream-lace, with tiny tufts of faux white fur layered over top.

Leg warmers- hind legs are cut from a dark green floral wide ribbon with silver lace stitched along the top and light brown bias tape hemmed along the bottom, light green bows stitched in place to finish.

Front leg warmers- Started with cutting the pieces from a pink cotton sash, stitched candy cane ribbon towards the tops, then stitched strings of beads at tops and bottoms embellishing with darker green bows, rhinestones and paper gingerbread men on one leg.

Mane- Starting off point was some retro antique pink flower beads I got off a necklace that was in a pack of Mardi Gras beads at my local swapmeet. (felt like a real treasure find!)

So I planned out the vision around those, making strings of beads with them on floral wire in festive Christmas-themed colors.  Added one to the tail.

Balanced out the look with a few ribbon bows in the hair, and a few shiny strings of ornaments.

Gave her a pony tail with a long yellow ribbon, wired some more of the antique retro orb beads with other varied beads,.

Giant green Christmas bulb in hair I got off a cupcake topper. I bought a box of Christmas cupcakes to keep the toppers, and run them through my dishwasher so I can use them on custom ponies.

It is glued in place.

Rhinestones embellished along forehead~

Added another paper gingerbread man to the bow to finish.
