Thanks Karl!

I made the magnetic horn from a shell, installed the magnets inside the head in such a way they will hopefully NEVER pop out, and did the outfit. It is a little short in front to show the hooves, and has a nice train in the back. It's basically a drape-y dress with a separate collar of the foofy trim .

She's on the Resinsoul hooved girl body. I painted the hooves silver, but deliberately used thick paint and brushstrokes to get striations like you see on real hooves.

she is absolutely gorgeous. i've been a huge fan of anne mccaffrey's for more than 20 yrs. the acorna series is great, but there will always be this place in my heart for the dragon riders of pern. they are my absolute favorite series. menolly has always been my favorite character from those books and hopefully someday i 'll be able to make a menolly doll. i'd love to turn the vision in my head into a reality
