There are some very talented artists who create wonderful pieces of work out of My Little Ponies. I kid not - I've admired them for a while. One of the artists I admire, Unicornucopia, recently posted the customs she made for the annual MLP Fair in June. They were all gorgeous, but one in particular stood out to me - Shy Violet. A lavender pony with violets as her symbol, her hair blend of colors hematite, amethyst, and fairy's breath. A February pony! She was still for sale and Jas gave me the go-ahead to purchase her. She finally came today!









Excuse my frizzy hair -- it was humid today. The last 3 pictures are from the artist herself - my camera just isn't that good. What doesn't show up in the pictures is the silver accents: a gradient over her body and a thin line over her eyes. She's a stunning pony and Uni did a phenomenal job. The details are just... wow.

This is the best birthday gift ever! Perfect for my 30th. :D
