Phalaenopsis
Original Moth Orchid Flutter Pony
Custom Design by Aikarin
Phalaenopsis waited patiently on my desk for
weeks before she received her new wings.
She was made from a wingless, hairless pony.

To the left is a picture of my
moth orchid & Phalaenopsis' namesake. Guess what her symbol
is?

Phalaenopsis' hair is made of
alternating stripes of pale lime green and sky blue. The lime is
streaked with a medium green and the sky blue is sprinkled with deep azure
strands. Her hair is lustrous, silky saran. It's almost
8" long and flows beautifully.

Phalaenopsis' display
side. Her wings are clear with a monarch butterfly inspired pattern
painted in blue. After they were completed, they were dusted from
the top with iridescent glitter. White highlights and lavender
glitter also make up part of the design. Certain parts have a
blue-green iridescent glaze...it's lovely in real life, but doesn't show
up in the pictures. Each wing has wire "boning" along the
veins...this helps the wings stay upright! ^_^
Yes, the wings are
removable.

Well...hello
Phalaenopsis! ^_^
Her eyes are very unique, featuring bright neon green colors with a darker
rim.
There are teeny tiny lines in the iris! I really like how they turned
out.

Here's her non-display
side. Her symbols are a sprig of moth orchid flowers & green
buds on a base of tranquil tropical blue. Like the other 1st
generation ponies, she has symbols on both sides. The other side
isn't exactly a mirror image...it's actually the other side of my orchid
plant!

A close-up of her non-display
side symbol. It's carefully hand-painted while I was looking at the
plant...no stencils were used! The white petals didn't show up well,
so I added a little bit of texture to them & the buds. Believe
me, they look nicer in real life!
Phalaenopsis is NOT FOR
SALE.
