This pony is a thank-you gift for jupiter_oski on the MLP Arena. She loaned my her Garden Wishes unicorn for a photoshoot, and was very patient with me even though it took me a while to finish. So I offered to make a custom for her and she gave me a list of customs she would like to receive. Once I found G3 pony "Sunrise Song", I knew that I would make her a version of Galaxy!


The pink pony is Galaxy. ^_^

I don't normally display my ponies like this, but Traggie's and AC's have been hanging around my candle display and it worked out. This is by no means all the customs that I own...I probably have easily this many that were made by me. And in fact, only eight of the ponies pictured were made by other customizers. The others I added because I either haven't shown them off, or I never got good pictures of them before.

Top row: Haley's Comet, BrendaNicole (Beginners Swap 2007); Romero the Zombie, BrendaNicole (SciFi Swap 2007)

I know exactly what hair blend to use for this bitch. (Which I say fondly)

Forget-Me-Not/After Midnight from Dollyhair.

Hahahahaha! Yes! ::thusts fist into the air in victory::

Message to self-- When funds are available, purchase from Dollyhair:
+ Bougainvillea and Hyacinth for Floral Hippo (funny how she ended up with flower-named hair colors, given her name)
+ Starlight/Moonlight blend for Cancer-stellation Pony WIP

----------------------

I had to put aside my Jem-bies for a while now. Room is an absolute wreck, Pony parts everywhere, and I'm thinking of packing it in for March (Have to finish my Valentine twins). April and May will probably be dedicated to "Schiz Trek 3: The Search for Twenty Ponies of the Same Pose" and OMG!GIRL, YOU CRACIE--Making the Gen3 Steedback Army. Possibly June as well, though I'm planning to do all the painting in late April and all the rehairing in May, rehairing takes me a long time so it may overflow into June.

That SAID, I want to be able to work on my Jem-bies in March. So I've compiled a list of hair colors. Not saying that they'll be DONE in March...my only goal is to have the makeup painted, and possibly finishing Pizzazz. (She is displeased that I haven't finished her...she's been sending me bad dreams hot yet disturbing dreams of the Flash molesting Batman, in costume. True story. Except for maybe the part where Pizzazz gave 'em to me...)

*-*-*-*

Kimber -- Sugarberry
Raya -- Strawberry Mousse/Watermelon Martini blend, or just plain Strawberry Mousse
Jem -- Pussycat/Candy Tuft blend, with Golden Sun or Goldilocks underneath
Aja -- Bobby Blue/Atomic Turquoise blend OR Atomic Turquoise/Water Nixie
Shana -- CustomPony "Blooming Lilac" (I'm guessing it matches Dollyhair "Wysteria", but since I have the CP skein...)

Stormer -- CustomPony "Deep Sea" (an exclusive color)? Not sure.
Pizzazz -- CustomPony "Lightning Bolt" (AKA Dollyhair "Electric Banana")
Roxy -- White Witch (::giggle:: Appropriate name.) or White Witch/Blizzard blend (Blizzard is a matte, true white; White Witch has hints of silver)
Jetta -- Black Magick (again, appropriate, given her opposition to Roxy) with streaks of leftover Starlight/Moonlight from Cancer-stellation since there's no way I'm putting tinsel in.
Clash -- Sour Grapes if I decide on Season 3 Clash, Sugarberry and Sea Nymph if I go with Season 2 Clash

Not trying to match the dolls (save Pizzazz, how can I pass up that glorious green?) but rather, the cartoon. Freakin' Stormer, though...Not sure that any color offered by Dollyhair or CustomPony will match her.


The boy unicorn with the stars on his rump is the only example I have saved to my files of the Deep Sea color. I think it's too dark, but the only color that Dollyhair offers that comes close to Stormer's is "Phthalo Blue" which is freakin' saran hair, and I don't have any experience rehairing with saran/katsilk type hair.

My other choice would be Forget Me Not, which is a medium blue color, but it looks rather drab. I suppose I could blend Forget Me Not and Bobby Blue...that might work. But oh, I am not sure at all. Bobby Blue is nylon hair that is slightly lighter and more vibrant that the saran Phthalo Blue. Looking at it on my monitor, though, I keep thinking Aja instead of Stormer.

Hm. Well, if you'd like to help, here's the link to Dollyhair's Nylon hair order page. It has all the colors:

FREAKIN' STORMER ALWAYS CAUSING ME PROBLEMS!!

Click on this link to my Shirt Designs gallery. Here you'll find two versions of "clean up" that I did on a Jem Tank Top image. The image is from an actual vintage shirt (not like the artificially distressed shirts that are all the rage nowadays).

Since I'm not sure about the copyright and usability of the design, I'll have to ask that if you DO print this out for a shirt, that you do so not-for-profit. That is, don't sell the thing. I just did this for fun, and since I know there are other Jemfans out there, I decided to provide it to you all.

About a year ago, I made several Barbies from the thrift store into Jem dolls. I spent the hours when I wasn't working or out with my boyfriend at the time sewing doll clothes. I couldn't afford paint or colored nylon/saran hair, so I used permanent marker back then.

But now that I have the practice, supplies, and funds, I'm remaking my girls. They will all have the new "bellybutton" body mold (though some will keep the old heads) and be rehaired and repainted. The marker stained the vinyl badly on almost all of them, save Shana and Kimber. I'm not very sure about Jem/Jerrica...she's always had a blue spot on her face, so I just might make her over completely, even though she has the proper body and hair.

Anyway, the first doll I chose to remake was Pizzazz, from a "Summer" doll (Summer has green eyes, so I didn't have to repaint her eyes. Because each "bellybutton" body still has the little plastic deal with the hooks to keep the head on (Barbie collectors, you know what I mean), one of my spare "Twist n Turn" bodies that's missing the plastic neck piece is being used to model the heads.

( Topless, Hairless Pizzazz Under Cut )

Stormer's hair originally gave me a whole heap of trouble. The dark blue marker I used to color her hair wouldn't stick to the saran, and stained her vinyl face. In fact, the doll head used in the 'Photo Shoot' pictures on my DeviantArt account is her second head, with a blue wig sewn onto her head. Yes, sewn. It looks REALLY bad in real life.

Stormer's makeup, though, is too heavy to salvage her head (marker stains were really bad on ALL the Misfits). Kimber's face mold matches Stormer's, so I repainted that one to become Stomer. They're such close friends!

Well, I hope you liked the 'progress report' I put together for you. Oh, and Pizzazz has something to say:

I'm going to get my girls together before I let Schiz make any of the Holo-jerks, so don't you Misfit fans worry. And Schiz has been nice enough to give me a few locks of hair since these pictures were taken...soon, you'll be able to see me in ALL my glory. Don't forget to bring sunglasses...I'm told that my glory can be blinding for you mere mortals! Hahahaha...

Oh, lovely, Schiz. I think you made her ego even bigger.

Uh, Stormer? I'm over here.

Well, if you'd paint me some eyes, we wouldn't have this problem, now would we?

::sigh::

Stormer's a little more Misfit than some might think! ^_^

Um, basically this was written for the fact that such knowledge would make Craig's head explode. And that idea makes me giggle.

I'm just really in a drabble-y mood, I guess.

Ever since reading The Jem Bible on the DVDs, I've wondered about Christy Marx's idea that Roxy passes off other people's songs as her own. Particularly because later episodes make it clear that she can't read.

( Unknowns )

I've always, always wondered why Roxy went for Jeff during the filming of Starbright at World Studios. I guess this drabble is an attempt to explain why us Roxy fans didn't get it -- what kind of man we might think Roxy goes for, versus the kind of man Jeff is, and it's also an attempt to give reasons why Jeff was so attractive to her.

Also, this damn drabble set me thinking toward some kind of sad Roxy/Jeff story. I hate making my Roxy girl sad, but the plot bunny doesn't share my sentiments and won't leave me the hell alone!
