Frost - 2006
 3rd generation white tiger pony

Design & Custom by Aikarin

Frost was one of those "ugh, what am I going to do" projects that sat on my shelves for months in a half-finished state.  I'm delighted at how her design came together!

The tail was made from flexible Fimo sculpted over a wire base & firmly anchored into the pony.  The whole pony was baked, after her hoof magnet was removed.  I glued the magnet back, but it's not 100% secure, so I don't recommend this pony for play or small children.

The baking process made her a little ivory in color.  Also, the tail actually isn't very flexible.  The whole pony received many coats of frost white paint...it's flawless as I can tell.  The whole pony is the same color now.

She was generously re-rooted with a blend of donor hair and white nylon hair, along with randomly dispersed pinstripes of black nylon hair.  Her hair is nice & thick, about standard length with a little curl at the bottom.

Her stripes were all painted freehand in a random pattern over her legs & tail.

Frost's eyes are many different shades of blue and accented with black lashes.  They were given multiple coats of gloss varnish, so they have a smooth glass-like surface.

Frost is an original Aikarin design and she will NOT be repeated.  She is signed & dated under one hoof.  This pony is recommended for display only, even though the tail seems pretty darn durable.  She comes with a tiny plush white tiger named Munchkin (I didn't make this, but isn't she adorable?).
