Holiday Paradise

---no longer available---

Custom pony figure of the generation 1 pegasus pony named Paradise, hand-crafted by me as a generation 3 custom figure in a Holiday Christmas theme.

This is custom #2 of my holiday series.

Pony base is a engineered pose from two different generation 3 ponies.

Body coated in Gesso to create a texture for the acrylic paints to bond to, and full body paint job in white acrylics.

Cutie mark and eyes are also hand-painted in my style. Other painted details on this are the striped beads I made look like candies.

All paint work is sealed in Artists Varnish.

Wings are cloth wrapped over wire, I had them in a package in my art supplies. Can’t remember where they came from, but figured no better use for them, than now. They are pinned in place, with a dark green star rhinestone in the middle.

Mane and tail are rooted in nylon mlp hair in the color firebird, an exact match for the original g1 Paradise mlp.

I curled the hair and permanently gave it shape with my hair gel method.

Accessories- started fastening a festive-colored sash around the belly/back, and fastened silver ornaments around the bottom.

Then, came up with a wreath-like accessory for around the neck. Started off with a twisted rope trim textile, and stitched a thin line of neon green faux fur along the bottom. Tied a triple-layered ribbon/bow around the neck of metallic pink ribbon and burgundy thin ribbon. Took a cherry trinket I made when I was a teenager that I’ve kept all these years, and fastened it with a large gold bell and a green/white striped candy bead I crafted and pinned them on the wreath around where the bow is. I then cut off tiny sections of red/green strings of ornaments, and fastened them in place. Made two strings of beads and fastened them in place on each side.

Stockings- got out a oriental pale aqua material and stitched some of the neon green faux fur along the tops, then folded over wide red/white striped ribbon along the tops. Did a running stitch with the pieces inside out, then turned them right side in, put them on the pony’s hind feet then stitched darker green bows with tiny silver bells in place. Tied a darker green ribbon/bow on tail for contrast.

Made two strings of beads on floral wire for the hair embellishments (consisting of seashells, neon beads and fruit), then pinned the remaining two striped candy beads I crafted into place, then a small strip of gold star string of ornaments, some layered confetti, rhinestones along the hairline then a large silver bow in the back, to finish.
