Blessings of the Day: a Wiccan pony.

Hey all,

Fiwen's Fillies introduces 'Blessings of the Day', a charming little baby pony made with love and care, and with a beautiful theme behind  her.


Blessings of the Day was made from a G1 newborn Baby Shaggy, and has been rehaired with thick plugs of Dollyhair's Sea Nymph, and streaks of Starlight that make her mane and tail shimmer!

Her symbol is on both sides of her rump, and has been built up in thin layers that make up her leaf and vine pattern surrounding her tiny, silver and white pentagram.


For a finishing touch, Blessings of the Day has had her eyes carefully repainted in shades of aqua and green to tie in with her hair and symbol, with tiny eyelashes picked out in a very dark brown. Finally, they've been given a coat of gloss, to bring this little pony to life!

Twisted Fairy Tales...

Hi all,

I'm getting ready to participate in a custom swap over at the MLP Arena with the theme being twisted fairy tales! We're currently at the stage where we're being partnered up according to skill level and preferences, but hopefully by tomorrow I'll have the info I need to get planning and started. I'm afraid I can't say too much about it, with the swap needing to be a secret from my partner until shipping time, but I'm hoping this will give me a chance to stretch my brain and come up with something seriously spooky and twisted! Watch this space!

Not-a-Filly!

We take a short break from the Pony proceedings for an update about...DOLLS!

More specifically, Dal dolls from Jun Planning; even more specifically, my first Dal and new model - Natty.

Now, along with painting, drawing and (of course) customising MLPs, I like to sew. I love fabrics and threads, ribbons and lace, beads and teeny tiny buttons... It's all fantastic! I also own several other Jun Planning dolls (Pullips) who are dressed in mostly ready-made clothes because as fun as creating doll clothing is, sewing to 1/6th scale is HARD. That's where Natty comes in.

Since Dal's have more childlike bodies, compared with Pullip's curves, it makes them a lot easier to fit and pattern clothes for; not to mention a great excuse to make pretty, girly dresses! These are some of my first attempts, so go easy on me guys, but Natty seems happy enough don't you think?
