Rarity Eye

Published:

Description

Just an eye detail of Rarity. You can see the shimmery horn thread better, too. The eyes were fun to make. I used a sculpey-like clay to make a proof, painted it with nail polish (cheaper than a spray and I knew it wouldn't react with the clay), and molded it out of silicone putty, then cast it from resin (I do <3 polyester casting resin...).

I also have it on good authority that Rarity is extra-cuddly, but I'm not allowed to post pictorial proof.

(long winded) Technical specs: This pony is entirely made by me (with roommate help in managing pony when she got too big for the machine) out of fleece. The pattern is drafted by hand with several mock-ups of successively larger sizes to really hone it down. Her cutie marks are appliqued on with a satin stitch with a contrasting blue thread that has a bit of shine. Mane and tail have satin stitched detail to match the animation, and are wired for style. Horn detail is satin stitched on with an iridescent thread (I really hated satin stitching by the end of this). Her eyes are cast in polyester resin with a printed paper embed, clear coated for that extra bit of shine, and the eyelid/eyelash detail is sewn and glued on (glue for placement, sewn for strength). There was a problem with her tail wire which means that I had to add a second bit and the tail droops a bit when she's lifted, but it doesn't fall entirely and sits perfectly when she's standing.

Love it! I'm quite jealous. I don't think resin eyes would look right on my crochet plush, though. lolz
