More stuff!

Just like in The Sims! More stuff!
But I don't actually play Sims. Unless you count building a house and family and then quitting after your house burns because you don't have a fire alarm. u__u'
Happens for me at least.

But! This is no Sims blog. More My Little Pony stuff!

First, oldest of the new stuff. (Yes I have been lazy with this blogging, sorry.)

Oh so high quality. 8(
I got this aweeeesome set with the best ponies, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance!
Twilight is good to have too, if we don't mind that this must be at least my 3th blind bag Twilight.
But yay for Shining Armor and Cadance!
No, I'm not going to open my mouth about Cadance's colors. I'll just be happy with my Cake Dance pony. u__u
It is actually a reaaally good while since I bought that set. But never mind.

Second, I bring you Princess Luna Fashion style!
I like Fashion style ponies, and I like Luna. So I was happy to find this some weeks ago. :3 I thought about buying Celestia too but... she was too pink. This Luna is off-color too, but I like Luna enough to get over it. It's still Luna, and the fashion style version is cute. u__u I kind of think it looks like filly Luna.
I like Woona. u__u But the eyes should be cuter for that.

Out of box and without all that... stuff. Pretty!
But when I comped her mane... I found something nasty! o__<


Urgh! Oooh my paint skills! Beware!
I tried to wet the mane and use some wig conditioner but it was no use. 8(
I ended up cutting that mess away.
Sorry Luna!
But now she is pretty and everything again, sitting happily in my pony shelf.

And to my today's awesome find! 8D 

THE GREAT AND POWERFULL TRIXIE! 8D
Or at least I think she is awesome. I have tried to find one since I heard these have started to arrive to Finland, and finally I got one. :3 I actually had checked this stores MLP section just before, but it seemed like there was no Trixie. But then today I spotted this one, it was mixed with Filly ponies. 8D So yay Trixie for me! 
I hope that someone hadn't tried to hide it and come to pic it up later. xD
But still no Lyra for me. 8( Have to keep looking!

Then after I get Lyra, I hope they make Bonbon too... 8)

Last pic of Trixie, fresh from package on my desk.

She might need some mane treatment too. o__<
And yaaaay Cadance and Shining Armor in the card thing! 8DD

Helsinki brony meetup + Taralicious custom :3

Long time no see everypony!
I haven't had anything great to blog, but now comes something amazing!

There was a pony meetup last weekend, and it was my first brony meetup that I participated to.
I was a bit afraid to go there, being a girl instead of your generic brony, but I wasn't so out as I thought I would be. :3 It was actually really fun, and I talked to sooo many new people! It was nice to meet all of you Finnish bronies! You guys are the best!

I took some pictures from the meetup. If you wish, you can see them in here.

This group picture is taken by SharkMachine! aka. Petri Haikonen. :3
You can se more of his pic from here!
There was so many people that there was hardly enough space. :D 

Also, I made one custom pony for the sake of the meetup!

Taralicious~
Taralicious!
I made her from brushable Rarity. Rarity is a good base, being white and everything. ^^; (And I had double Rarity.) The mane and tail is made from Sculpey firm, and the whole thing is painted with acrylics. I also added some fine bronze glitter to her face and around the microphone cutiemark, but it doesn't come out so well in pics.

I still need to practice a lot with getting the mane and tail look like hair instead of random blobs. I redid this ones mane few times, and I think I got it somehow ok in the end. But the tail, it looks so funny. 8D
I hope that I can improve more in sculpting and maybe someday I can make my very own pony sculpt from tip of the hooves to end of the ears without using a base pony toy. :3

Taralicious~
Front pic! There is a mistake in the eye painting. ;___;
Taralicious was sold in the meetup! :3 Congrats for her new owner!
This was my first sold custom! I'm so happeeeh! ;____;


Next I'd like to make Derpy for myself and maybe Scootaloo too. I have started to like little Scootaloo more for some reason... But Applebloom is still the best of CMC! u__u Also I have one request to touch up mane6 blind bag ponies. Need to get some bases! D:


Thank you for visiting my blog!

First custom blind bags!


I decided to try painting blind bag ponies. :3 It was actually a good while a go already when I did my first two, but I just have forgotten to make a blog post about them! They have been on my DA thought.
The first one I painted was Blue Lace in the pic above. Blue Lace is my OC pony used in RPG. I love it how she turned out. That figure is now my official mascot for RPG sessions. u__u
Blue Lace was repainted from Fluttershy (who is just recolored RD...) that's why she is here.


My second repaint was made from Twilight Sparkle base. She is Tardis pony. Her cutie mark is windows of Tardis.
I made her to accompany me to Ropecon, where I wore Tardis themed dress.

In the second pic you can also see that I used normal (cheap) acrylic paints. Someone asked about the paints I use. From the pic you can see the mark of the paints too. These are my first two MLP blind bag repaints, but I'm sure that more will follow. Painting is so fun! Next I might do Derpy for myself. I just need more spare blind bag ponies. (Have some? Send them for me! u__u)
Later I might try customizing with Sculpey too. ^__^

Pinkies Party hair - Round 1

Pinkie went to salon to get her party hairdo!
I think that I should buy small heat rollers or something for better result, buuuuut maybe this can do for now.



I used drinking straw and hairpins to do her curls. I have heard many people using this method instead of heat rollers if they don't have any.
Hairdryer did the warming job nicely and the curls do stay, but when I used the hairdryer it made some hairs to escape from the rolls - the result came out a bit messy.
Maybe next time I try dipping her into hot water of something less windy. :D

Maybe she has just been in awweeesome party and has a bit messy hair?

Mane6 complete!

I might suck as MLP FiM fan since I didn't have complete set of mane 6 ponies as brushables before now. And I have 12 brushables. 8D
But I liked so many others too...

But now I have bought Rarity and Pinkie Pie, and I have complete mane 6. :)

Here they are! Thadaa!
Pinkie needs to get her curls someday. :3 And I might to try to style Rairitys mane too.
I kin of hate how those ponies are packed. When you try to open the packages it is a pain to try to get the ponies out without messing up their manes and tails. @__@
Also I have mental problems with my Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash ponies manes. I would like them to be more show accurate. ;__; I tried cutting bangs for them, but the shorter hair won't stay down. x) Rainbow Dash looks like she has mohawk or something. Maybe after few more hot water baths it would do... :D
Or I thought about making new manes for them from sculpey! Then I would need to do the tails too, but anyway. I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm going to try. I have done all kinds of other stuff from Sculpey, but I have not combined it with ponies yet.
We'll see how it turns out! I promise to blog about it when I do it.

Sparkly blind bag ponies!


Long time without any pony updates. My pony herd has grown quite much... I'll promise to do some kind of collection picture thing later. :3

Paduuum, the wave 4 blind bags have landed to Finland! :3 I might be late, but anyway! u__u
The first time when I saw these I wasn't prepared for it by checking the numbers beforehand, so I bought few bags in random. Went to shop them again with check list thought and find few that I wanted. :3 I bought mine from Prisma at Kerava, but Citymarkets are supposed to have these too at least.

I don't know how, but I managed to mess up with the numbers. I got crystal Rainbow Dash from a bag that I thought had metallic Applejack. 8D  Or there might be really have been a mistake, because I was sure and double checked that the bag was supposed to have m. Applejack in it. @__@ I wanted them both so it is okay with me, but now I'm missing the Applejack. 8D

Here is some pics.
I also bought few new background papers, here is one of them.
I like this one really much! :) They are actually scrapping (or whatever the term is) papers, but I use them as backgrounds. :3

Here is the ones that I have from the new set so far. :3

Crystal Fluttershy from this set is more bright yellow than the older crystal one. :D
I think I like the older more, since it is more soft color!

Also Applejack is different shade, more yellow too.
I think that I prefer the older one here too. :3 


And pic of Rainbow Dashes because she is my fave!
I'm missing the older crystal Dash, so I can't say if the new one is different or not. :(
I'm happy anyway! Laaaaa~ Crystal Daaaash~ So prettyyy~ ^__^

And this is how I store my blind bag ponies. :D Getting crowded here!
The box is very pretty. u__u I have 4 of these, and two big ones. :D

I keep my blind bag ponies in a box because my bf doesn't really like having ponies around. :( I'm playing with them when he is not home, lol. :D Another reason for box storing is our cat. She likes to chew everything she finds. And she also loves to drop stuff down from our bookshelf. :D My poor Pokémon kid figures suffer from her all the time. But I like to keep something on the bookselfs too, besides just books. :p

Honeybuzz and little elf


New pony!

Actually not so new, I bought this one some time ago already. From Tallin, actually. x) There was better pony selection than here, at least in the Rimi near the harbor. Honeybuzz is one of my favorites what comes to colors and so, and I have been wanting to get one and trying to find it here from Finland. :)


One of my tiny BJD's Elfdoll Hiro and Honeybuzz.
Poor Hiro looks so confused with the pony. :)

Luckily he decided to be friends with Hoheybuzz.
