String Of Ponies

My thumb keeps breaking open and bleeding. >>; This may take a while to heal.

BUT.

Despite that, I have a whole freaking herd of Ouran ponies half-assembled and milling around on my coffee table right now. They are joined by 2 Ed!ponies, and a Rin!pony, as well as four ponies that I haven't started customizing yet. XD;

But alas, Tono is not among the half-finished Ouran ones. ;~; Because the pony I'm making him out of had a stupid jem in her symbol, so I had to remove that and trim around the crater, and I have to fill it in with clay and bake it off before I can start working on him.

Tamaki. I mean TAMAKI. Not Tono. DAMMIT HIKARU GET OUT OF MY BRAIN.

....

No wait, I was just kidding! Don't go~~~

I'm hoping to finish off the last bits of painting and ribbon-ing, and start doing hair tomorrow. That may take a few days to finish, since all the Ouran ones have clay hair. There are two Kaoru ponies and a Hikaru pony there, one set to go with me to sell at AN, and the extra Kaoru to go with the Hikaru pony that's sitting on my shelves making big sad eyes at me because I mailed his twin away to Kao-mun. ^_^;;

I feel bad, so I'll probably end up making another Hikaru one to send to be a set with her Kao!pony, too. >>

I've been guilt tripped by inanimate plastic ponies, despite how determined I was not to be. -.-;;

Anyway, I started painting Rin!pony today (the Horse from Furuba), and I don't know if I'm happy with the color I chose. I was looking at the color scheme on the front of her volume of the manga, and ended up picking the dark green that's on her uniform cuffs. But I'm not sure if I like it or not... I might end up re-painting her.

I want to paint her black, but with her being black, her hair being black, and then her symbol being black (even though it's 3-D), it probably won't stand out enough. I might try painting her the green-white that the rest of her uniform is and see if I like that better...

Yes. I'm really rambling, aren't I?

Also... we keep losing people over at the RY RP. TT~~~TT Now Rit-mun is gone, so we've lost Ritsuka and Haruhi F., too. I'm sure Kao-mun will just weep about not having a Haruhi... [/sarcasm]

The last couple of months a lot of people have dropped out. Le sigh.

Chocolate And Tan

Ahhh, my thumb isn't bleeding anymore~ yey~

Though I think I still need to be careful with it. Because of where it is, I keep catching it on stuff. And I didn't start clay work on my Ouran ponies today because I was thinking about it, and I doubt getting sculpey into it would probably be a bad thing. >>;

Maybe tomorrow.

So I called Dad today, since I hadn't talked to him on the phone in a while.

Lois's brother died two days ago... he's been dying for about two months now. Or, I suppose he's been dying for about eleven years; he was in a car accident back then, and got a blood transfusion that was tainted with hepatitus. He finally gave way.

So Lois isn't doing really great right now, obviously, and neither of them have been sleeping well.

Dad also told me about this litter of puppies they had born a few days ago. Two of them are raven black, one is black with white socks, and the last one is chocolate-and-tan; he says the black one with white socks won't sell because people seem to think coloration like that is "odd", but I think it would be cute.

As for the chocolate-and-tan one... that coloration is rediculously rare, so Lois is already covetting that pup, and plotting for when she can breed it. lol. Dad keeps joking about how much money he could get for it, and every time he does Lois just gives him a look.

Unfortunately, though, the mother dog has decided she wants nothing to do with the litter, so they have to bottle feed them. Lois is not impressed with her. ^_^; It happens sometimes, but it's never a happy thing when it does...
