This is a little frustrating to me. I've written nearly two thousand posts, and Poodle Horses is not one of my better efforts. In fact, it's a forgettable little puff piece. I keep hoping it will go away, but every time I check my blog stats, it's right there at the top.
As much as this annoys me, it also serves as a constant reminder that I need to make a model scale Poodle Horse costume. I still had the pink youth doll, pink ultrasuede and micrro-magnets on my work desk this morning. One thing led to another....

I will never, ever be a dollmaker...
but this is good enough for my purposes.
Now I just need to figure out how to make the poodle parts of the costume...
I'd use felt that you rip a bit to make it fluffy and Pom poms like in the first picture. Or a nice old rag. Rags are helpful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I have a mini horse that isn't done being customized yet but when (and if) it is I want a costume of some kind for it too.
ReplyDeleteHob Lob has pompoms in all sizes and curly black doll hair too, or you can un-twist black yarn for hair. YES, YOU WILL BE A DOLL DRESSER ONE DAY! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!
Ha ha! Your faith in me is seriously misplaced. The only way I can see myself dressing a doll is to throw all the fabric in a bag, drive it to your house and then watch you put it together! I have no skills (and no patience!) when it comes to sewing.

For someone with no skills or patience for sewing, you did a great job with this skirt. Better than I ever could. Good job, Jennifer!
DeleteThanks for the compliments, Brenda, but this was really easy. There was no sewing involved--YAY! The skirt and band are made of ultrasuede. The poodle is skiver and the leash is braided embroidery floss.

Wow, so cool!

I know this post is really old, but I was thinking that the poodle horse thing gets so many views because it's a topic popular with the general public and pops up when you search poodle horses on Google.
