A good fine paint brush to outline eyes and tiny details and a good tapestry needle for rehairing.

my G3 glitter body fakies
What is the worst injury you’ve had from working on customs?
Nothing yet
What is the funniest mistake you’ve made while working on your art?
Reattaching a Peek a Boo baby head back on wrong so her head turns to her back
Who/What inspires you?
Seeing other artists concepts on how they do customs that could inspire me to do something similar.
What projects are you currently working on?
Monster High doll pony, 2 Halloween theme ponies.
Do you have any odd habits while working on customs?
I will have everything out that is needed to make the custom, but I end up using just 1 of those things.
What types of art do you enjoy?
Customized ponies, Monster High Dolls
Do you take commissions?
Yes
Where can people see your work and contact you?
Do you have any favorite tips or tricks?
Don’t have your pet around you when you are sculpting with clay, fur will get in the way and don’t have them around when rehairing, especially kitties who love pony hair. My toaster ovens little pan has been very good to use when I have to bake ponies in the oven, just small enough to hold everything.
What advice do you have for someone just starting to get into customizing?
practice on a fakie pony or a really baity pony first til you get good enough to actually customize a real My Little Pony.
