I cannot believe, Jodi, that you were successfully able to wrap Alan Davis's costume design for Captain Britian around a HORSE!

Well done! Beautiful detail work on the WWE ponies as well!

Jodi, I'm blown away again.  Even if there were scribe lines on the ponies, I couldn't paint them nearly as well as you do. More fantastic work!!

Thanks everyone!!! I really appreciate the kind comments. The uniform of the Britain pony was what worried me, that the shape of the pony would alter the look too much and would not stay true to the character. Means a lot that you feel it was successful.

The AJ pony took forever, the mane would not take any dye and so I had to get a brown wig and reroot the hair. I must have taken too much hair for each hole, it ended up splitting the head. I do the hair last so I had to replace the head and repaint it. Some times the new head does not match up well with the body. I was worried I would have to paint the whole thing over and it took me forever to do the shirt front so I really did not want to do it again. The ponies are so little the brush I use to paint her "Love bites" on her shirt, has about 3 hairs in it.

Everyone seemed to really like their ponies. Which made me very happy.

AJ is adorable, a tiny little thing. She loved the pony, she had given Big E a hard time for having one when she didn't. She knew who I was and started jumping up and down when she saw it........................wait.....jumping up and down...............Ohhhhhh now I see why Jason wanted to see her get her pony. ;0)

 Jackson was so cute when he got his picture with her. He said he shaking.

Very cool, Jodi. Who would have thought customizing ponies would lead to this!

I know Eric, it is all so strange.  This past summer I was contacted and invited to go to the My Little Pony Con in NYC to sit on a panel about customizing the ponies. I thought I was being punked.

One thing I will say, that is cool about the ponies, when I give one to a person, no matter how famous or just a regular person like me, they get a big smile and look just like a kid again. I LOVE that!!!!!!  I am honored to be able to give someone that happiness.
