    For those of you interested in purchasing My Little Pony stuff, you have to have at least one of these in your collection. I'm in line for a commission myself, and aside from the craftsmanship, I think it is fitting that a tobacconist should have a pony made out of pipe cleaners. The work is top-notch!

    EDIT: Seems to be some confusion; I did not create these ponies.

    Pipe cleaners are awesome, and she seems to be rather awesome at using them.

    I was expecting stick ponies. I was not in any way expecting the quality I just saw. Seriously, that's incredible, well done. I would consider buying one of those, perhaps several.

    EDIT: Ah, thought you did them. Well, well done for showing them to us all then!

    Not my creations, but yeah, she's talented. I especially like the detail on the Wonderbolts and the hair on the Rarity one. The Trixie one is my favorite though.

    Wow. Those are incredible. Am I the only one that thinks these look better than Hasbro's merchandise? To me, these look more like G4 ponies. I'm not a copyright expert or anything, but is she even allowed to make money off of these? I understand they're her creations, but the characters are trademarked. I'd sure hate to see someone get into trouble for selling these wonderful works of art.

    She could take OC requests and be completely legal, but it's more fun this way
    Besides, hasbro's not going to be hunting down small hobbyists for a few hundred dollars
