Description
Available in my ETSY
If Vinyl Scratch (DJ Pon3) was transformed into a plushie, I think she'd look like this. >_>
I wish I could keep all the ponies I make, but alas, I do not have the room to do so. So, I hope there's a brony out there who will give Vinyl Scratch the love she so deserves!
MOAR PICTURES
Details
- Vinyl Scratch/ Dj Pon3 is from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
- Crocheted with Bernat's Pipsqueak yarn
- Her hair is done using a super secret special technique that I "invented" (someone else might do it, but I came across it by experimentation)--- here's a hint, it's made of yarn.
- Goggles (some call them glasses) and cutie mark are machine embroidered and hand sewn on.
- Stuffed with Poly-fil
- She is floppy and perfect size to be a "shoulder buddy" ...a nice option for those of you who frequent conventions and want your hands free!
- Aaaand lays approximately 17 inches long from her front hooves to her back hooves.

Wow, this is amazing! I've tried Pipsqueak yarn a couple of times before, and I had trouble keeping track of my stitches. I always had one odd lump somewhere from a missed stitch. May I ask what hook you use?
And this photo doesn't do the hair justice. I went and looked at the other pictures, that hair is beautiful! It looks like needle felting.

Thank you! Oh yes...its a tough yarn to use! I used a 5mm hook
Aw thanks!

Oh, good to know I'm not alone! It's not nearly as difficult as some of the other fluffy or fun-fur type brands (I bought this wonderfully fluffy yarn one time. I couldn't use ANY of it, it was much to fluffy). I will have to give it another go sometime, the results are just so cozy and soft.
You trickster, you said it was yarn!

Oh I completely agree. It's worth struggling with, throwing it, and picking it up again a bit later. lol.
Hehe yes... it's yarn that I cut into long strips, sewed into the pony, then brushed out and needlefelted into place. It's a wool blend so it worked pretty well. I can't imagine it'd work well with acrylic yarns though. Needle felting isn't hard to learn how to do, but you'll stab yourself a LOT doing it. A lot of people ask me how needle felting works so I made this little progress type deviation for the Hoppip that I made a while ago [link] can give you a better idea of how needle felting looks while you're doing it.
I also made a detailing tutorial that shows how I needle felt ponies' hair, but that's a part of the pattern I sell for the chibi ponies I make. [link] The detailing tutorial itself has over 200 pictures if I remember correctly lol.

Thanks! That was pretty helpful. Now it's just a matter of buying the things. I've done some looking, the needle kits are pretty expensive, which is kind of a bummer.
Thanks for the advice. :]

You're welcome ^-^ ... I buy little packs of needles for a few dollars at livingfelt
I also have one of the felting block things (almost looks like a horse brush), but I never use it. It really only works for felting the "core" because it winds up pulling some of the fibers away with the softer wool. Instead, I use cheap sponges from the dollar store.

Oh, that looks much more reasonable. And the sponges are a good idea. Thanks! I'll do some exploring.

love this, do u think u could make a hercules pegasus in this style(floppy shoulder) with this yarn??
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh my god. I never even thought of that!
I totally could.
π: 0 β©: 1
do you think i could commission you (when iv some monies) to do so please xx
π: 0 β©: 1
Quite possibly! ^^ ...Commissions are closed right now, but after the holidays I'll probably open them again~ so if you have some monies then...we can talk about a fuzzy Pegasus 
(I understand the lack of dough, I've been job hunting since May and all I've been able to get is a part time online tutoring job).

i was thinking after xmas anyway, i would love you to do me a fuzzy pegasus
yep, iv been jobless since may, its depressing, best i get is selling keyrings on etsy and doing the occassional haircut
π: 0 β©: 1
That'll work perfectly then ^^
AGREED. It is pretty depressing. Yeah, I sell plushies/purses/etc on Etsy and tutor...I had an awesome job as a student worker while I was at my University...but then I graduated. So I couldn't work there anymore. Now I have a Biology degree (graduated cum laude- so my gpa was high) with lab experience, but that isn't good enough apparently. *grumbles*

oooooh im excited now, something to look forward to
I am in the same boat, I have a graphic design degree, cant get a job without experience, cant get experience without a job
I am training to be a hairdresser now, see how that works out

At first, I couldn't tell she was crocheted. 
She looks really good. You did an amazing job on her.
