[click on above picture for enlarged view] Freedom Star - 2005 Design by Carol Custom by Aikarin Freedom Star is a very unique pony. She was designed by a non-pony collector as a gift for someone finishing her Air Force Basic Training. Freedom Star is made from a 3rd generation pony whose base color is white. This pony is NOT FOR SALE.
[click on above picture for enlarged view] Freedom Star's hair is made of red, white, and blue Kanekalon hair. The hair was carefully straightened before re-rooting. She also has corresponding red/clear iridescent/blue tinsel. Her tail features the same colors. The initials on her non-display side hoof are those of the lucky recipient's. ^_^
Her eyes have thin red/white/blue colored stripes and she has a tiny white star in each eye. The lashes are midnight blue.

She has a rank insignia marking her magnet hoof and a waving American flag on her display side. All of her markings are delicately hand-painted with artist-grade acrylics.

[box pic removed for legal reasons]
She was given a box with a custom-printed front label, personalized with her name. ^_^ The back section of the box was removed, so you can see her non-display side symbols. Her accessory is a white brush.

[above] Her non-display side symbol is the Air Force logo in white & blue. It's also carefully hand-painted.

Below are some pictures before completion:	Here is the concept sketch that I made, based on Carol's ideas. This version has tinsel in her hair. This particular pony does not "really" exist.
	Close-up of the tinsel in blue, clear iridescent, and red.
	And a rendering of her non-display side. I must admit...the symbol looks pretty complicated. ^_^
	After re-rooting and eye-painting. Mmmmm...her hair is very soft & pretty. ^_^
	After painting the display side only. I'm glad we decided on a waving flag...it really gives her a lot of character. The shadows/highlights weren't easy, though! Yes, this is the "real pony". Yes, the symbols are hand-painted! Freedom Star is an original creation that will not be replicated. She is signed & dated under one hoof. She is NOT FOR SALE.
