Description
The third of six commissions for , who was bold enough to ask me to make all the mane 6 for him at once. Since I don't actually make the mane 6 all that often (most of them, at least), I accepted - I thought it would be fun to have them all done in the same style, for once! I'm making all their Elements of Harmony, too - when I'm done all 6 I'll post a group shot of them with their Elements.So...having success with Rarity and AJ's hair, I decided to continue the trend towards improvement and completely rethink the way I do Flutters' hair. I am so ridiculously proud of the result that I'm actually kind of a disgusting human being to be around right now. It just turned out exactly the way I wanted. I hope you guys like her as much as I do!
I also decided to break with tradition and use a different color for Fluttershy's hair - in the show, her hair isn't really BRIGHT pink, it's a subdued rose-pink...and I've never liked using bright pinks for her hair, for that reason. So, I tried using Dusty Rose, and I REALLY like the result - it's slightly too dark, but it's the right shade and in person gives her a really soft look that suits her!

I think I know exactly how you made this! You reached your hand into the tv and when the mane six weren't looking you took Fluttershy out and she became 3D! Seriously though this is a magnificent Fluttershy!

you're quite welcome. Can I at least imagine to hold one? hehe *does so carefully* XD She looks so soft. I have seen minky in fabric stores and I can see why it's a choice material for you guys to all use ^_^

Absolutely gorgeous! That is absolutely my favorite mane of possibly any plush I have seen - it is just so accurate! You should be proud! It is absolutely sublime! You capture the volume of Flutters' mane without weighing it down and while still displaying her grace. It's a wonder of construction, honestly. Absolutely nothing could be better than that hair. The Dusty Rose is just icing on the cake - who knew what a huge difference that change would make?
And the sweet little face and happy eyes and gentle smile don't hurt either! Your pattern is a marvel - I am especially in love with the legs. They're so sleek and perfect for your ponies. She's just absolutely gorgeous, Firefly! So happy you took on all the Mane Six. It really is a wonder to see them all made by the same artist in the same stunning style. So much love.

Thank you! I'm so happy that her mane turned out the way I imagined - it would have been a huge waste of fabric if it hadn't! I was really worried that people wouldn't like the Dusty Rose, so I'm glad others agree it works :3 Of course, now I can't find anywhere to get MORE of it, but so it goes...
I'm pretty happy with how they all turned out :3 Of course, there're always things I'd do differently next time, but that's pretty normal for me

Oh my, she is gorgeous! I love everything about her! Simply splendid! you really have made such an astounding job of her- well done!
I was wondering, if it's not too much to ask, what material do you would you consider suitable to appliqué? Do you require a certain fabric to achieve a design? Sorry, I hope I'm not bothering you and if you would rather not answer this question that is completely fine with me
I was just curious. Thank you very much and you deserve to be so proud of your incredible work!
kind regards.

Thanks!
Only thin fabrics are really suitable for applique, since they usually need to be layered and you don't want things to get too bulky. Fabrics that don't stretch are also preferable.

Awesome job! I think you're right about the Dusty Rose. It does look really good on her. Is there a wire in her mane to make it stay up?
