This offering is hand crafted from Wool Blend Felt, for softness, shaping, and next to no pilling. This pony is completely artist made from the pattern it was constructed from,to the design of the saddle with its wealth of flowering tendrils and the beautiful sweeping wings. The flowers are each individually stitched into the Pony and secured with stitch and glue to insure long life of the design. The Ribbons are polyester satin to insure color stability for long term without risk of staining the wool. The hair is softened acrylic yarn, heat curled to give it a permanent bouncy curl. The neon yarn curled a bit stiffer than my normal yarn, so it’s a tiny be rougher, but the curls are so tight and springy, it’s worth it. The hair is left super long to allow new owner to style as desired or leave long and flowing. The Wings are stiffened wool with wire armature to allow for posing and attached with hooks & eyes to allow display of Surprise as a Pony or a Pegasus and to allow easier shipping.
This particular design needs no explination to a true child of the 1980’s. I stumbled upon a highliter yellow yarn at a craft store and I knew I HAD to make her. It took me weeks to find the exact shade of super charged neon pink and green to make her flowers. My eyes may never forgive me, but here she stands in all her her day-glo glory! If you are not familiar with the supercharged, superhyper, giggly filly, well now is the time to meet her!
My very first pegasus, her wings are completely poseable and stiffened to allow all sorts of motion. The wire within will allow a great deal of flexiblity, and the hooks and eyes keep them secure on her back for display or light cuddles, though they are a bit stiff for cuddling.
This plushie has been crafted in a smoke free environment and was carefully wrapped whenever I’m not working on it to keep it smell free. HOWEVER, I do have two cats who like to supervise my work. Kitty nuzzles against the pony are a danger but come at no extra charge. Extreme Feline Allergy Sufferers, please be aware of this.
This plushie is sturdily built, but it is not intended for heavy play or small children, Dry Clean Only.
Plushie stands approximately 12 inches tall from front hoof to tip of ear and is approximately 12 inches from nose to rump.
