Bronycon Shadowbox Workshop
We got the information back from Bronycon and are happy to announce the date and times of our classes. Yes, you read that right! We will be doing TWO shadowbox building classes up at Baltimore to accommodate for the large number of expected attendees. Each class will hold 30 people so 60 people will get to build a paper pony with us! So here is all the vital information you'll need to join us. First, here is a picture of the boxes we will be building:
We're going to be building laughing ponies complete with a sparkly background! You will have your choice of the Mane 6 (available until supplies last). We will post mock-ups of the others a week before the con since that is when we will be creating and cutting them out!
The class will be held Friday and Saturday night from 6:30-8:30 PM. We don't know if you will need the full two hours to build these ponies since we have never done a class of them but plan to be there for the full time.
The class will cost $10 per kit and that will get you the pony pieces, background, glue, working utensil (toothpick), and tabs. A shadowbox frame is NOT included. All you need to bring is yourself!
We are accepting early sign-ups online so if you know you are coming and need to be in our class, send us an note with :
-Your full name
-Mane 6 pony of choice (either Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack
Rainbow Dash or Rarity)
-Which day you plan to attend
-Phone number
We will send back payment information and you must make a payment through Paypal (or arrange something else with us) before your spot is reserved. If you don't have a dA, you may email us at mitcheb0219@gmail.com.
You can also buy kits at the convention. We will be selling them at our table (Booth 209) both days, however, if you want to guarantee that you get Best Pony, sign up early.
We have taught this class twice to date and are proud to report that everyone has walked out with a completed pony so no worries about ability. We'll make sure you have a built pony by the end!
We hope you'll join us in Baltimore and build with us. We always have a blast!
*Note that this is sign up for the two classes at Bronycon. You must be going to Bronycon to sign up for this class.*
Bronycon Limited Edition Exclusive
So here is the thing, there are only 30 of these Lunas . We won't ever be making anymore. You can only purchase this box at Bronycon 2014. Each Luna has a number (1-30) written on the back in silver. When they are gone, they are gone forever, and we won't be accepting orders.
We realized while creating our Babscon Exclusive that we were telling a story with these exclusive boxes. Nightmare Nights 2013 had Nightmare Moon, Babscon 2014 had a forlorn Celestia looking at the moon so we wanted Bronycon 2014 to finish the tale with Luna busting free from her Nightmare moon shackles. That is what we created here.
Luna's mane is crafted from glitter paper, as is the moon and swirls behind her. White crystals litter the air and her mane. Nightmare Moon's armor is bursting from her body and falling into the air, crafted out of silver mirrorboard. You can see remnants of black fading from the tips of her wings and her cutie mark is in transition from NMM to Luna's normal one. The tears streaming down her face are happy ones. She is finally free. Trust us when we say that this box is a beauty to behold in person.
We hope you come by booth 209 and check it out. We will be selling the first 15 on Friday and the other 15 on Saturday so make sure you are there early! She will be selling for $80 except for the first edition which will be slightly more and include the original sketch.
Bronycon Charity Auction Pictures!We are hard at working getting ready for Bronycon. Seriously, if we are going to get the amount of boxes we want to bring done, we’ll have to do 6 a day until it arrives just to make it and that doesn’t count only customs, Bronycon commissions, Etsy sales, VA gifts or charity items. We are PUSHING.
As a result of the craziness known as our life, a few announcements have been pushed to the wayside. So we figured we’d right a big old journal post and make them!
As the title of the post suggests, we wanted to announce our Bronycon Charity Auction Items in the grand fashion they deserve. We have hunted around the community and asked some of our favorite artists to fashion us a piece of artwork of one of the Mane 6 that will be made into a shadowbox. There will only ever be two shadowboxes of each of these pieces. One will go to the artist who designed it and its twin will be donated to the charity auction. That means there will only be ONE COMPLETE set of the Mane 6 that exists in the world and you can only have a chance to bid for it at Bronycon.
Without further ado, here are the pieces and talented artists who have created such amazing art for us to put into shadowbox form:
Samantha “JadedJynx” Silva (
)’s Fluttershy:
Sophie Cabra (
)’s Applejack
John Joseco (
)’s Rainbow Dash
Cat Whitney (
)’s Twilight Sparkle
Christina “Leekfish” Cornford (
)’s Pinkie Pie
Pixelkitties (
)’s Rarity
We will post up the photos of the each box as they are completed and again, these will be exclusive for Bronycon 2014. We asked each artist to create the character of their choice however they wanted and are amazed at what they could come up!
Custom commissionsWe are going to be working on a batch custom system in the near future. We have been doing so much convention prep lately that we haven’t had much time for custom which has been killing us since we really like doing them.
We are still slowly working on those on our list and in the upcoming month, will start accepting 5 customs every month. As of right now, customs are still closed. We expect to open them again before Christmas so if you are thinking of a custom Christmas gift for a friend or yourself, be on the look out around October for that announcement!
