Description At long last, my bee custom pony is FINISHED! *dances*

All painting and sculpting and piercing was completed over a month and a half ago, before any of my last commission orders. It was just a matter of waiting for the doll hair to arrive in the mail .

So yes, I finally created a bee custom pony! I wanted to continue with the whole bee name, with using various forms of 'bee' in various languages and dialects ( Bee-chan = Japanese, Wee-Bee = either Scottish or Irish ). My friend poniesyeah suggested I look to French during our pony photoshoot, so here is Abeille de Miel ( honey bee )!

Abeille de Miel started her days off as a G3 Sunny Daze. Her original symbols, eyes, mane and tail were completely removed. Antennae are anchored into her head with thick wire and sculpted over with epoxy. Her arm warmer and flip flops were also sculpted with epoxy and painted to resemble a certain pair of flip flops I own. Stripes, antennae, arm warmer, flip flops and eyes are painted with epoxy, then sealed ( eyes, flip flop straps and antennae with satin glaze, arm warmer, flip flops, and stripes with a matte glaze ). She has been rehaired with espresso and butter pecan nylon hair from Dollyhair. Beads threaded into her mane and tied off with floss.

Wings were donated by a VERY generous member of the MLP Trading Post, walkingreverie.

If there is enough interest in her, I may place her up on Ebay in a week or so!

It's always nice to see other traditional artists that customize ponies, as well. ;~)

Traditional mediums just happen to be my favorite to work in, which can make working on custom ponies all that more fun! ^_^

great colors. The stripes are my favorite part, but the antennae are what caught my attention.

I usually buy ponies like other people do, through Ebay, stores, or on the MLP Arena or Trading Post, or LJ communities, or get them as gifts for customizing, then remove all symbols and hair, THEN add my own hair and symbols and clothing / accessories to them ^_^.

Thanks Cherry ^___^.

Youd have time to get money, as the current commission is taking me a little while . But I can add you to the list, if you're serious about wanting something!

And thanks!

Heheh, thanks! Funny thing is I really DO own a pair of flip flops just like hers. They used to be Hello Kitty flip flops, but the paint where the foot meets the flip flop wore off with in something like a week. Ah well, that's what I get for buying from Hot Topic . They ARE the most comfortable flip flops I've ever owned, however.
