So, my 4-year-old niece is really into My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic now (a little girl who likes My Little Pony? Weird). And my sister, who’s hobby is making plush dolls, has been making her plushies of the characters. So, I decided to make pony versions of my sister and my niece as a gift.

The pony version of my sister is named “Patchwork” on account of that sewing is her talent. My niece’s nickname is “Ellie Bean” so that works as a pony name as well. She’s too young to have her cutie mark yet. But for the record, her talent is weaponized cuteness. Anyways. I am going out to sea tomorrow for about a month. I know that I haven’t been very active in my gallery lately regardless. But that’s because I’ve been concentrating on a very ambitious semi-secret art project.
