An AWESOME Custom Order!
This is my favorite custom order so far- A Shadowbolts pin! The customer is going to use it for a Shadowbolt dress uniform cosplay- isn’t that a cool idea?
The Shadowbolts logo/ cutie mark is the most complex I’ve painted to date, so I did a lot of practicing on paper to get used to it.

I had a really fun custom order recently, for a Roseluck cutie mark pin! I was really happy with how it turned out, so I thought I’d share it with you.

McCoy! Get out the straws, McCoy!
My handful of Luxury Comedy-inspired puppets / pins is complete! They’re off to see the Jelly Fox. They fit so nicely on my fingers I didn’t want to take them off- but they do make typing difficult.
All of them are made of wool-blend felt with iron-on eyes and mouths from my digital art, with accents in permanent ink.
I’m finally getting back to this project! I still need to make McCoy, but after spending all afternoon and evening on these, I really wanted to share! Like the first Little Chrissy puppet I made, these all have pinbacks sewn on so that they can be worn as well as played with.
Custom Orders at Pegasus Pins!
I recently started offering custom cutie mark and winged pegasus pins at my Etsy shop. I am really proud of a pair of pins I made for a customer who provided me with some images of her and a friend’s OCs. She agreed to let me share them with you! In addition to the finished pins, I took pictures of the sketches and cutie-mark mockups I made so that the customer could give me feedback during the design process. Thanks, Kelsey!

Rainbow Dash Blues
Color is one of the things that drew me to MLP:FiM, and it’s one thing I love about working with wool felt. But it can be challenging to represent digitally-created ponies in a real world medium. Even the huge spectrum of colors that wool felt comes in fails sometimes.
Rainbow Dash’s light bright blue body color has been especially challenging to match. Until now, the best color match I had was a polyester craft felt that was flimsy compared to the other felt I use. I made do by using a double layer in critical places. I’ve just found a felt from a different supplier that has a brighter hue and a thicker texture. It’s the central piece in the spectrum of blue felts, and I think it’s the best match so far!
In the bottom picture, you can see how my Rainbow Dash design has evolved. The 1st example used an inferior image transfer for the cutie mark. The 2nd example shows a color combination I tried out and didn’t like. The 3rd pin is an example of the pin that I’ve sold in my shop. the 4th pin shows the new blue body color that I’m now using.
It’s a subtle difference, but I’m pleased to be able to offer a dashier Rainbow Dash pin in my Etsy shop, Pegasus Pins!

She loves classical cello, he loves thumping bass: It’s everyone’s favorite musical ponies, Octavia and Vinyl Scratch! (Or DJ Pon-3, if that’s how you roll)
Check the Background Ponies section of my Etsy shop for more felt pins inspired by ponies!
Sneak Peek: Coming soon to the Pegasus Pins Etsy shop!
A customer asked about an Octavia pin, so I decided to design a pair of musical cutie mark pins for Tavi and DJ Pon-3/Vinyl Scratch!
I decided I needed to get more purple into Octavia’s pin, since her eyes and bow tie add so much character to her color design. I’m trying to decide if I need to incorporate the bright purple of DJ Pon-3’s sunglasses into her pin. What do you think?
