Pony Play - Tumblr Posts
Why do I start ridiculous projects when I'm tired? Poor impulse control I guess.
Possibly to be a shoe thing that'll force you to stand on your toes. I’ve probably been looking at too many pony play blogs on twitter while trying to find other people making cool masks.
I have no idea if it'll work. When I’m less busy (haha good joke) I’ll pull a pattern off it and make it out of something sturdy and find out. If it even marginally works I’ll probably end up figuring out how to make hooves for it.
Hooray for cobbling (ha!) together some shoes.
This carousel horse has a bit of an attitude.
This was a commission for a friend. The base pattern for the mask is from Dieselpunk.Ro. I made some small tweaks on the mask itself, but the big change was designing the big floppy mane. I love how it hangs over the face like some sort of pastel pink scene kid. The sawtooth part of the mane is a reference to the haircuts that Norwegian Fjord Horses often get. The construction of the mane was a riff on how @ramshacklegear did the mane on his chess piece pony hood, so check that out here and here.
This pony also has a spicy side, second post incoming.

Prototype strap-on harness! This has been in the works for Too Long, but it's finally done!
It's made for a friend, and we decided on this pattern with leg straps and elaborated-jock-strap style butt straps. Partly to make the whole piece super solid and unlikely to move around while in use. But also just for the aesthetics. I used a bunch of big O-rings, and went for double-layer straps on the main belt and leg straps. Plus, added in some extra D-rings where I could fit them, because you can't be a top all the time.
Made with vegetable-tanned leather and brass hardware. Every piece was measured, cut, beveled, burnished, wet-formed, oiled, conditioned, burnished again, and riveted together, all by hand.
I'm not sure if this sort of thing will make its way into my product offerings. But I do know that I want to make something similar for myself, and I have an Idea for an outfit that it would work with.
