I have NO idea why… but I’m suddenly reluctant to place a firm price on this lovely lady…
So I thought I would post her in here, and accept offers on her though tomorrow evening (6pm MT or so) Otherwise she will head to ebay that night! 😀
She is painted in a combination of Pastels and acrylics… I really wish my camera could capture the richness of her color (she’s not just flat black! :D) and the shine on the beads in her mane and tail (both are metallic/interference colors)…
If I didn’t need $$ so bad… she’d be staying with me! 😀 I REALLY like how her pattern turned out! 😈
What brand of paint did you use on her? Also, what is the difference between pastels and acrylics? I know what acrylic paint are because I have painted with them before, but never pastels! I would buy her from you, but I cant afford anything right now. I have to tell you though, she is my favorite out of all of these PYO uni’s I’ve seen! She is pretty!
Oohhhh…I am so tempted to shell out my money for her! I want her so bad! If you have a price range for her, PM me. I would love to buy her! *shoves hand in the bottom of purse and finds a few coins* 😯 I’ll have to find more! 😀

Well… I use a combination of acrylics. Apple Barrel and Creamcoat… the cheap stuff you find at Walmart or Michaels… AND more expensive artist paints… like Golden and Liquitex. 😀
As for pastels… I use chalk pastels… crushed into dust. I then dust the different colors of pastels on the PYO (or Model horse) in layers… sealing each layer on the PYO with a clear acrylic sealer.
Of course if I don’t seal the pastels, they will not adhere to the PYO and eventually rub off.
Not to mention it takes 5-30 layers of pastels to achieve the color I want. ^.^
I have been promising for ages that I would do a tutorial on pastels… Once I get one of the PYO Unicorns going… I will do that! 😀

I would love to see your tutorial once you get around to it!! I am VERY tempted to try a PYO, but I wouldn’t know where to start when it comes to the materials and to ensure its longevity.
