So, I seem to be going ahead with my sudden flash of “omgcustomponies!” Because I am utterly incapable of resisting custom ANYTHING, apparently, and stupid crafty projects are good for distracting me from my gloom.
Admittedly, not so good yesterday, when I was messing with some clay pieces and listening to Green Day, and suddenly found myself crying. During “She’s a Rebel,” no less, which doesn’t really even make sense. WMUWSE, sure, there’s dead daddies, but SAR? Weh?
Anyway. Ponies. So, yeah, Micromark offers stuff to make your own decals, and even offers a trial kit, which I totally ordered. And there’s a pretty white pony on eBay that I’m bidding on, and if I win, I will then order her new hair from DH, and see if Goo Gone really does get off old symbols as rumored. And then I will start the very not-fun prospect of getting off her head so that I can rehair her. If nothing else, it should go faster than rerooting dolls.
And yes, there is a small part of me that hopes that I could maybe make some small amount of money doing things like this because it would be really nice to find something that I can stand doing, AND get paid for. And writing doesn’t count, because I’ve had writer’s block for like, three years, and never got paid for it even when I didn’t.
So, yeah. Mostly I just want a Pluto pony.
