#mlp streaky

i love your blog it is very very cute

RIGHT after I said I was hoping to pick up Streaky and Ringlet eventually, a Streaky popped up on eBay for $15 shipped!

Double lucky, she needed her hair fixed.

Not that getting a minty Streaky for $15 wouldn’t have been some sort of weird mega-luck.

TRIPLE lucky, I’ve gotten an offer for a Ringlet in trade for some pony work!!

Her hair felt horrible, though.

It was dry and pretty scruffy all along the length.

Admittedly, I got lazy and didn’t fully smooth it out, and it shows in the end results. Her curls are textured instead of hyper-glossy.

Separating out the manes for making individual-color curls isn’t too difficult, though Streaky did have a couple plugs that had two colors in them. I didn’t fret over it too much.

For some reason her mane curls fell. I must not have had them wrapped tightly enough. The pink one could use a re-do it sticks out from her neck weird.

Separating out the tails can be a pain, though. The hairs get all brushed together and the hairs are separated into the two sides of the tail.

I wondered if it would be easier to separate out the hair colors in her tail if I removed it, and it was! I also discovered she had a rusty washer, and replaced it.

But then how to get it reinstalled without mixing the colors again?

I decided to try loosely twisting the individual colors’ halves to themselves and it worked! It was only a little bit more difficult to pull through her tail hole due to the added bulk of the twists.
