Hello from a costume & doll maker!

Hello all!

I've been a fan of MLP since the 80s, but with the new FiM series, I've definitely been reintroduced to my love of all things pony. My husband is a big fan of the G4 show, so naturally a collection of licensed and fan-made merchandise has started appearing in our home.

I build fursuits (animal mascot costumes), costumes and props. I mostly make wardrobe for indi films, but I have made some stuff that's also appeared at Furry conventions and charity gigs.

My favorite will always be the G1 ponies, and I fondly remember a modest herd of the usual culprits in my childhood. Firefly, Gusty, wingers and those bath time buddies sea ponies. Loved 'em! I love seeing what people do to restore old ponies, and customizing them with neat colour schemes and hairdos. I also have much love for all the plushy makers who build such great canon ponies & OCs!

I have high hopes of building my hubs a collection of the G4 mane six and perhaps a costume if he can ever decide what his 'ponysona' would be. ; ) I'm still working out a sewing pattern for the perfect G1-style poses so I can accurately capture my geekiness.

It's great to meet others who are interested in the series and the spinoff growing fandom! I'm not very used to using forums, so please forgive any faux pas till I acclimatize myself!

I usually post sneak peeks and works-in-progress on my twitter & sometimes on Flickr too!
