Three new ones and fixing some ponies

Sorry for the delay of this post. I have done so much other stuff that I have completely neglect this blog.. But anyway, new post time!

At first those two ponies which I got from Englant two weeks ago. Sundance and Peachy.
Both of the ponies arrived in great condition I just removed some surface dirt of them, though there even wasn't much of it.


And after one week, I got another nice surprise from England. :)
 Tex! He was covered with pindot mold, but I got most of them off with hot water, soap and steel wool. Otherwise he's in very great condition. Sadly I didn't remember to take before-photo of him.

So those were my newest ponies and next some ponies which my friend gave me for cleanup.
Heart Throb was completely covered with dirt and pindot mold and her another eye was quite badly worn. Her symbol was also worn, there weren't much glitter left anymore. Tail was complete mess, there were old rubber band stuck and hair was tangled. At first I gave her a good wash and let her dry. During that time I used iron to her tail and mane. When she was completely dry, I fixed the eye paint with acryls and symbols with silver gelpen. Sorry again, there's no before pics, I always forgot to take those. :D

Hula Hula was pretty good condition, so I just gave her a wash and made sure that she doesn't have any tailrust. Only flaw is that she has some standing problems, which can be seen on that photo. :/

Lastly there's still Lemon Drop and Baby Stella waiting for the clean up.
Lemon Drop is pretty dirty, but otherwise she seems to be okay. So good wash will probably do the trick here.

Baby Stella is a little bit trickier job. Another eye is badly worn and her symbols are also quite bad condition. Hair needs also some fixing. I won't probably try to fix her symbols, but I'll try to fix her eye.

Pfffffth, sorry for the quite lame texts and stuff, I just want to get this journal updated at last.. :D
But hey, I have one question! Do you notice any difference in these photos when you compare them to older ones? ;D My sister got systems camera and I had to test it!

More some art

More recently done Pony Art, continuing the "ponies which I have"-series with 4-Speed and couple random drawings.

Little Cotton Candy drawing. I had to draw Mom and Baby Cotton Candy since it's such a cute pony! :3

And lastly one Seapony, Wave Jumper. I felt like painting some ponies, but I had no particular pony in my mind so I just randomly picked this one.

I got two new ponies today from England, Sundance and Peachy! Snowflake is also cleaned already, pics of these three are coming soon.

Snowflake and one G2-pony

My snowflake arrived today! She's in decent condition now, but good enough for me. Besides most flaws are just some smudges on her body and a little bit dry hair, but those things aren't hard to fix.

I love that almost hot-pink body combined with white hair! Symbols are a little bit rubbed, mostly from non-display side.

Biggest smudge is shown here.

I said at last post, that I'll try to find some of my childhood ponies but actually I found only one G2-pony and lots of fake-ponies. And some other horse toys etc. but not even one MLP. And I'm sure that they're somewhere but I have no idea where exactly. :D

 I think that this is 2nd version of Cupcake? Mechanism doesn't work and it has changed yellow during the time? Eyes, hair and symbols though are in good condition. I don't yet know will I keep this or what I'll do whit this since I don't actually collect G2-ponies. Whatever I'll do, I will clean her up.

Eyes are in good condition and both diamonds are in their places.

And here's first four ponies ready and all cleaned. :)


I also did yesterday some pony-art, haha! :D I decided to give myself a little challenge, I'll draw every pony which I have now and I'll also try to draw all ponies which I get in the future, too. It's not very challenging yet, since I only have five ponies now but it's still fun! :)
 I decided to start with Lemon Drop, since she was my fave pony when I was a child. :D

And Pony Pride. Those grey-looking dots and lines on her hair are actually made with silver gelpen, but naturally it doesn't look like it when scanned.

These was fun to draw, not very detailed though, but fun!
