Description:
This is a special commission for @BaronEngel of his muse, Carousel! He wanted me to include her work harness as well, which I'm especially proud of. It consists of eleven handmade faux-snakeskin straps, nine separate brass clasps for unhooking, and an array of brass rings and hooks. It required a ton of ultra meticulous measuring, thinking, and planning to make sure all the pieces worked together correctly and accurately. And yes, the entire thing is removable.
Making the straps was a task in itself. It involved ironing Heat-N-Bond onto the back of a piece of fabric (measured out to a precise width of course), then layering it on itself thrice-fold before ironing it togther one tiny little strip at a time to make sure the glue held and it was nice and even. Very meticulous work, to say nothing of attaching all the rings and clasps and such. Every piece had to be measured on her body, removed, attached on at a time, then placed back on her body to measure the next piece.
Very exhausting work, but I'm also extremely proud of how she turned out. I honestly think she's one of the best creations I've ever made, and I would welcome the chance to make more harnesses like this in the future. Special thanks to Baron for providing excellent references and resources not only for the harness, but for her eyes, expression, and cutie mark too!

About My Beanies
All of my beanies are around 8-9 inches tall (about 11 inches standing), and about 12 inches long from hoof to hoof (princesses are just a wee bit bigger). The heads and bodies are stuffed normally, while the hooves contain weighted poly-pellets to help them stay balanced on your shoulder while walking around. They're the perfect-sized travel buddy, they fit neatly inside a carry-on luggage, and they also look super-cute riding in a messenger bag.
