Another teal dye bath update! These ponies have been in progress for SO LONG! I started dying these ponies on November 22nd, 2023 if you can believe it! 😵💫 A whole year! These of course aren’t the whole group - a lot of ponies from that first batch are “done” because I wasn’t trying to get a specific color match. And some of them got added, like the glitter big brother ponies! This group was dyed on October 6, 2024, and the colors looked *almost* perfect a few days later. But in direct sunlight, after two months to fade and post dish soap/alcohol rubdown, we see some of the colors have faded a little. Or, maybe my indoor photos weren’t color balanced properly? (This is also in direct sunlight, compared to artificial indoor light!) Either way, I think the match for Baby Melody is EXTREMELY close, and the real eye sees it even closer, at least mine does! The unicorn babies aren’t perfect, but they’re still cute. 🦄 And I think Baby Near and Dear is very close! Vintage ponies are very difficult to get precise colors on, I’m realizing, because there’s just more variables for how the dye will settle! But they sure are cute! 💖 Watch this space for more updates! Maybe after the holidays though! 🤣
