She hugs trees

I finished Treehugger tonight. (I'm glad I didn't push last night to do the face, getting the eyes right is challenging on this one)



I do think she maybe came out looking a little younger or more "fillyish" than how she was depicted on the show but I am okay with that.

I did make one tiny addition to her - a little tree necklace:




It's a charm from JoAnn's strung on hemp cord. Because of course a hippie pony would wear a hemp cord necklace.

Though I admit I've quickly headcanoned her into being the back-to-the-lander, all-natural, healthy-living type of hippie (I think the headscarf does it) rather than the, ahem, "chemically altered" type of hippie:




The idea to make Treehugger originated less, I admit, with a deep and abiding love of the character, but with the realization that I wanted to try making i-cord "dreadlocks" for her:



And of course, continue it onto the tail:



I'm pretty happy with how she turned out.
