Invoking my childhood love of My Little Ponies and Fashion Star Fillies (and my later goth sensibilities) with this one! Vespera is Breyer’s Little Bits/Paddock Pals Arabian made over into a “black rainbow” unicorn. Her black coat has subtle overlays of some of the colors found in her mane and tail (made from hand-dyed wool roving.) Pretty pleased with the result! She’s available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1232129917/vespera-custom-rrh-black-rainbow-unicorn
Super excited to get to customize a Hartland Regal Arabian! This one is a dark steel gray just starting to dapple, and the pictures don’t do justice to the little details. I named him Janus because when I first got him he had a nasty seam split in his face, which of course I’ve repaired. He’s available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1216247584/janus-hartland-custom-dark-steeldapple
