Muriel 2004
Designed by Aikarin
Muriel the Merpony was made for the Merpony Tutorial on my website.
She was the result of experimentation with polymers and wire mesh.
I'm honestly surprised at how she turned out. Similar, but at the
same time, very different from merponies made by other customizers.
She is NOT FOR SALE. |

Muriel
looks like a purple glitter ocean princess wedding mermaid pony-like
creature. Try saying that three times fast ;) She's not a
princess and she's not getting married, LOL.
Her name is Gaelic in origin and
it means "sea-bright". Appropriate for a sea creature
covered with sparkling glitter.
Muriel's eyes are original. No modifications have been made. On
her foreleg, she wears a removable bracelet made of clear and violet
Swarovski Austrian crystal beads.

Muriel's headdress is quite
distinctive. It's made of miniature silk roses each one custom
tie-dyed in purple shades and dusted with glitter. Iridescent
bell-shaped flowers and white ribbons stream from each side. The
headdress was originally made for a custom beanie I created many years
ago, but it fits her perfectly! =) It is held in place by
wires...see the pic below.

Glorious super-long striped hair can been
seen in this top view.
Muriel's hair is dyed pale pink over blonde. Darker purple stripes
were added later, but the stripes are hard to see since Muriel prefers to
wear her hair in a bun! =)

Muriel shows off her tail.
Each scale's outline was carved into place. Also, dark purple
"shadows" were hand painted on each scale to give it depth.
She has a light coating of iridescent and violet glitter in random patches.

keeps her bun in place...she has two miniature iridescent hair clips!
