Starlight Twinkle Stitch n' Sketch

Hello Dears!

Exciting news all -- I may be vending at a My Little Pony Convention near you -- well in the Washington DC Metro area and Baltimore. If your heading to Cloudsdale Congress, you may see me there if the nice people accept my application.

You might be asking yourself "Who or what is a Starlight Twinkle?" to which I would answer: "My pony-specific art persona, of course!" I'll be selling hand drawn pony sketches and traditional, colored pencil art and commissions for my plushies!

I'll hopefully have poor Zecora done in time for Cloudsdale Congress but for now I'll be bringing Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, and Yula Brightmoon with me as examples. As always I do not do stock Ponies but you'll have a chance to get your order in, in person.

As for my traditional art, here are some examples of what I'll be offering while I'm there! Please excuse the poor scan quality, I don't have a working scanner and I had to take pictures with my smart phone to get them in. Prices have not been decided on yet, but if you attend either Cloudsdale Congress or Bronycon, I'll have everything clearly marked.

I've started putting pony portfolios together so bronies can look at examples

As I mentioned before, I will have a few portfolios for con attendees to browse in and get ideas for their own drawing requests. Many of the portfolio pieces will also be for sale, in case you simple cannot resist Fluttershy or Luna! :)

That's all for now dears. I hope to have another progress post--neigh completion post for the Crystalis and Zecora plushies soon.

Queen Crystalis Plushie Progress

Hello Dears,

I hope you all had a happy and safe holiday season. This little white deer got herself a sewing machine and I've put it to good use over the last few weeks. I've got some practice in on a table cloth or three and have finally started using it for my plushie work. Although the majority of the work on Queen Crystalis had to be done by hand, her tail is my first machine-sewn plushie component.

Speaking of good 'ol "cheese legs"...

Yes she IS standing on her own, no wires necessary -- just stuffing!

As I may have mentioned over twitter or facebook, this fanged changling queen is going to a super awesome little brony with a penchant for evil villains. Those legs took me forever to do by hand but I think they came out rather well.

She can stand on her own, though with a little help -- I just had to make sure the front legs were balanced properly, like with any of the thinner-legged plushies.

 

And in case you thought the holes were somehow fake, this picture and the many, many hour spent hand sewing them closed and stuffing them tightly should be more than sufficient proof!

Crystalis is my largest pony plushie to date-- even larger than my Princess Luna plushie despite her massive, shimmering mane. And as you can see, she'd have to shed some mass if she's going to play the role of plushie Cadance.

"D-Don't worry P-Princess -- I'll save you from this c-creepy changeling! *gulp*"

All in all I'm looking forward to completing this one and hopefully catch some precious, eeevil moments with little Thad when he gets his new plushie. Until then, my poor plushie chair seems to be running out of room...

That's all for now dears.
