This con season has flown by. It is already time for Bronycon and with that, we are throwing up our info post all about where you can find us, what we'll have and of course, info on our class. If you're going, please stop by and say hello. We love meeting everyone!
Bronycon 2016 Vendor Hall Map
You can find us at booth 612 this year. We'll be sharing with Grennadder and Matchfire Electronics. Make sure to drop by and say hello! We're going to have a good selection of pony/non-pony selection this year so you'll be able to find whatever it is that you're looking for!
Bronycon 2016 Exclusives
Luna and Celestia are our 2016 Bronycon exclusives this year. They will be selling individually for $80 or $150 for the pair. You may only get them if you are attending the convention or are one of our Patreons.
Escape Equestria
You'll notice our response times and uploads have been a bit slow lately. That's because we've been working on a brand new venture with two of our friends. This year, Bronycon will have the first ever MLP themed escape room put on by us! As reported over on Equestria Daily, an escape room is "a game where 4-8 players are "locked" in a room and must solve puzzles and clues together with their team to "escape" within a set time limit. Utilizing hidden objects, trivia and more, these puzzles test the mind and promote interaction with your group!" (That whole article about the escape room was actually written by me!)
Bronycon is the first place we will be running it so make sure you are one of the first to try to beat the clock! Our theme is "Doctor Whooves Time Crunch". He has been lost somewhere in time but his time machine has returned to his lab. It is up to your team to follow the clues he left around his office to find the key word to send it back to him.
If this is something you are interested in doing, check out our website: www.escapeequestria.com/.
If you've seen it and want to book, you can get $5 off the admission price (so $30 online or $35 at the door) if you book early: www.escapeequestria.com/bookin…
Bronycon Shadowbox building Class
As always, we've gotten a lot of notes already about our class. We were running a bit behind on getting the designs finished but have finally released them. That means we are now accepting early sign-up for the class. Since Bronycon is so big, we are doing 2 classes.
Friday night class:
Friday night we will be building this Luna design only. We will only be building her on Friday so if you sign up for the Saturday class, we will be doing Celestia. Our class on Friday is at 9 PM in the Pastel Pastures . There are 30 slots available for this class and it is first come, first serve.
Saturday night class:
On Saturday night, we'll be building Celestia! There are 30 slots for this class and each kit costs $15 (including a frame to put your completed pony in). This class is at 9 PM in Pastel Pastures .
If you would like to sign up early, please either note us, DM us on Twitter or email at mitcheb0219@gmail.com with your full name (and fandom name if you prefer, if it is provided, I will likely use it during role call) and day you would like to participate in the class. We will send you info on how to pay and won't reserve your spot until we've received payment through Paypal.
That's all the info you need to know! If you are going to Bronycon, we hope you'll stop by and visit but if you can't make it, have a wonderful convention!

Everfree Northwest 2016 Info Post

We can't believe it is already time for Everfree Northwest but it is upon us! Everfree NW will be going on May 13-15th in Seattle Washington so if you are going, we'll see you there and if you are in the area and just now hearing about it, hopefully you'll decide to go! Here's our post with all the info you need to know in order to see us there!
We'll be Community Guests again this year and can't wait to see everyone.
Everfree 2016 Vendor Hall Map
*Full disclosure, I've seen other vendors do this sort of thing and thought it was cool so tried it out. Most recently, I saw AbbyStarling make a map that was a lot prettier than this one but I am in no way trying to take credit for the idea.
We'll be at booth 35 on the right hand of the hall again this year. Come by to see some of our new designs listed above or check out some of our old favorites! We have quite a big selection but as always, limited numbers of everything. You can order things for a shipping discount if we run out so make sure to ask us about that if the box you wanted disappears!
Also, we have loads of amazing vendor type friends going to Everfree NW. I'm going to miss a lot of them but make sure to stop by JaDeDJynX, AbbyStarling, BumbleBun, Grennadder, viwrastupr, Ardail, EquestriaPlush, Cutie Corral and more! I'm sure I missed a few and I'm sorry, you are all awesome!
Also, make sure to check out our 2016 Everfree NW convention exclusive Cadence and Chrsyalis!
As with all of our con exclusives, they are only available on site or if you are a Patron so make sure to snag one if you want them! They will be $80 each.
Everfree NW 2016 Charity Pieces
We have two charity pieces this year, one by JaDeDJynX and the other by BumbleBun.
MORE INFO ON THOSE COMING SOON!
But one hint, these little fillies will be there to sign it! As always, they are two-of-a-kind, one for the artist and the other for the charity auction.
Everfree NW 2016 Shadowbox Building Workshop
There have been a lot of inquiries about the class so my suggestion would be to contact us ASAP if you want to join in. For Babscon, we'd sold all but 12 slots by the time we got there and we've had even more folks asking about our Everfree class so there is a good chance it will be sold out.
Here are the designs we will be making:
We will be building the CMCs in our filly design! This is cool because we have never done them in these designs before and all three VAs will be there so if you want to get a box that you made signed, you can! We thought since Everfree NW had all three CMCs, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to let you all build them.
As usual, we will have 30 slots available for the class. We have cut out 10 of each design and once that pony is gone, we won't have anymore. They cost $15 per kit.
Our class this year is FRIDAY, from 7:30 to 8:30 PM at Cadence Room . This is sort of a tight time slot so if we are booted out and someone isn't done, I'll hang around outside to help out. We'll be going quick in this class to make up for the time so come with your learning pants on!
If you would like to sign up early, please either note us, DM us on Twitter or email at mitcheb0219@gmail.com with your full name (and fandom name if you prefer, if it is provided, I will likely use it during role call) and pony of choice. We will send you info on how to pay and won't reserve your spot until we've received payment through Paypal.
Donations Jar
If even of you visited us at Babscon, or follow us on Twitter, you already know that our dear friend, Jon Roman passed away suddenly right before Babscon. It was shock to all of and something we are still reeling from. He was 32 years old and healthy but unfortunately, he had a heart condition that went unnoticed.
He left behind his wife, Erica, who is also our dear friend, and their daughter, Jocelyn. We just recently found out that Jon left behind one other gift... Erica is pregnant.
At Babscon, we had a donation jar set out for them and collected close to $500. We will have a donation jar at our table at Everfree as well. If you are going and have a few spare dollars, please consider donating. Brian and I are planning to match the donations up to $500.
This would mean so much to his family and us. We loved him so much.
If you aren't able to make it but still want to donate, this is the website to their indiegogo: www.generosity.com/memorial-fu…
As always, we are looking forward to seeing you all there!

Babscon 2016 Vendor Hall Map

Celestia by SkyVixie
We got this lovely line work and turned it into this shadowbox mock-up:
Mock-up uploaded tonight!
Babscon 2016 Shadowbox Building Workshop
This year for our shadowbox building workshop, we are going to be doing something a little different. We will be teaching dual classes, one for adults and another for kids. They will be going on at the same time so multiple family members can be there to attend. Think of the kids class as The Paper Pony Jr version. So here is info on both:
Adult Class
The adult class will be held from 6:30 to 7:45 on Saturday and will cost $15 which include everything you need to build your shadowbox including frames! We meet qt the Crusaders Clubhouse which is opening for adults during this time. There are 30 slots available you can begin to sign up now. We will accept sign ups until the TUESDAY BEFORE THE CONVENTION. After that, any additional slots will be sold at our table. Here is the design for this year for a 5x7 box:
Class Early Sign-up:
Kids Class
The kid class is at the same time (6:45-7:30) and will also meet at the Crusaders Clubhouse. This workshop costs $5 but does not include a shadowbox frame. If you are interested in purchasing one, we will have a few (if they make it during shipping and I don't have to replace too many broken frames for the adults class) that you can purchase for an additional $5. We will be building a 5x7 Pinkie Pie. She is the only design that will be available since I'll be teaching the classes simultaneously. We have 15 JR slots. We will accept sign ups until the TUESDAY BEFORE THE CONVENTION. After that, any additional slots will be sold at our table.
Jr Class early Sign-up:

Nightmare Nights 2015

We cannot believe it is almost Nightmare Nights again! This year has flown by! For those of you that follow us on Twitter, you know that we recently just moved and before we knew it we were late prepping for Nightmare Nights. Unfortunately, this year only Mrs. Paper Pony (and two wonderful helpers) will be attending as Mr. Paper Pony has to stay back for work. However, we will still be doing all the things we usually do at cons like selling, teaching our class and will also have a con exclusive. So let's go over the important stuff now so you know where to find us at the third year of Nightmare Nights!
Nightmare Nights 2015 Vendor Hall Map
We really hope that if you are attending, you'll drop by the vendor hall and say hello! We've highlighted our space in red so you should be able to find us pretty easily. There are a lot of wonderful vendors attending this year so definitely make stopping by the hall part of your day. You're bound to see some incredible stuff!
Nightmare Nights 2015 Exclusive Shadowbox
For our exclusive this year, we decided to represent Luna from the newest season of MLP. We thought her episode was very moving and wanted to showcase it in a box. As with all of our convention exclusives, this box is only available at Nightmare Nights 2015. Once the convention is over, we won't be making the design anymore and you must be present (or have someone that is present) to buy it. A few of these will also be available to our Patrons!
Nightmare Nights 2015 Charity Auction Set
We decided to do a set of four shadowboxes for Nightmare Nights this year. We really enjoy collaborating with other artists to bring their work into the paper realm and thought the theme of Nightmare Nights offered up some really fun possiblities. For these, we chose four characters: Celestia, Luna, Discord and Chrysalis and asked the artists to put them into costumes. The artists picked for this collaboration were
, and 
. We provided the final piece of art. For these, the artists decided to make the backgrounds match which we thought was really cool. JaDeDJynX designed a staircase so you'll notice that hers and Grennadder's piece both are at the ends of the staircase and AbbyStarling's and ours are at the top. They also decided to each add an animal element into the design that is associated with Halloween!
The cool thing about these is all of them will be available as prints!
We have to say, these pieces really took our breath away!
Princess Celestia by The Paper Pony
For Celestia, we debated a Greek Goddess theme or something Egyptian but in the end, we thought a Cleopatra vibe would work best for her, especially since we wanted to incorporate in a snake for her. We will end up shading this is making it into a print which will also be auctioned off with the shadowboxes. We plan on using a lot of mirrorboard and glitter paper for her! We wanted her to have a really soft look so we chose a relaxed and regal pose for her!
Princess Luna by AbbyStarling
We can tell you from firsthand account that Leekfish spent a lot of time selecting colors to give Luna the perfect palette. With all the ruffles, bows and that mane, this box is going to be stuffed full of things to look at and of course, glitter! We love her expression here and all the Magical Girl inspiration of the outfit and pose. Plus that black cat in the corner is so cute! We can't wait to turn this into paper.
Discord by Grennadder
In Grenadder's piece, Discord makes the perfect Mad Hatter. We love the whimsy of his pose and all the different fabric designs on his patches really pulls this look together. Plus, who can resist the little spider sitting in his cup like its a bath? The twisted and winding staircase in the background and slanted window really fit with the topsy-turvy theme of the Hatter.
Chrysalis by Jadedjynx
JadedJynx wanted to go for a Lolita/vampire feel for Chrysalis and we think she knocked it out of the park. We're not sure our work will be able to capture all of the detail but we will do our best. From the patterns on her dress to the gorgeously detailed ribbons threading through it at the bottom, this piece screams classic gothic! Her animal was bats!
As always, we will only make two copies of these boxes. One for the artist and one for the charity auction. Only the person who bids will have the complete set!
Nightmare Nights 2015 Shadowbox Workshop
We are having a workshop again this year. We'll be able to announce more details in a few days but I can say that it will be on Friday, October 23rd, at 6 PM in Chinaberry . The cost per kit will be $15 to include a 5x7 shadowbox frame. We have recently been doing silhouettes in our classes but this new design might be a tad more complex (still easy enough for a beginner). We will be releasing more details shortly!
Class Roster:
That's all the stuff you need to know in order to see us at Nightmare Nights! We look forward to seeing a lot of you again and meeting some of you for the first time!

For Celestia, we debated a Greek Goddess theme or something Egyptian but in the end, we thought a Cleopatra vibe would work best for her, especially since we wanted to incorporate in a snake for her. We will end up shading this is making it into a print which will also be auctioned off with the shadowboxes. We plan on using a lot of mirrorboard and glitter paper for her! We wanted her to have a really soft look so we chose a relaxed and regal pose for her!
Princess Luna by AbbyStarling
We can tell you from firsthand account that Leekfish spent a lot of time selecting colors to give Luna the perfect palette. With all the ruffles, bows and that mane, this box is going to be stuffed full of things to look at and of course, glitter! We love her expression here and all the Magical Girl inspiration of the outfit and pose. Plus that black cat in the corner is so cute! We can't wait to turn this into paper.
Discord by Grennadder
In Grenadder's piece, Discord makes the perfect Mad Hatter. We love the whimsy of his pose and all the different fabric designs on his patches really pulls this look together. Plus, who can resist the little spider sitting in his cup like its a bath? The twisted and winding staircase in the background and slanted window really fit with the topsy-turvy theme of the Hatter.
Chrysalis by Jadedjynx
JadedJynx wanted to go for a Lolita/vampire feel for Chrysalis and we think she knocked it out of the park. We're not sure our work will be able to capture all of the detail but we will do our best. From the patterns on her dress to the gorgeously detailed ribbons threading through it at the bottom, this piece screams classic gothic! Her animal was bats!
As always, we will only make two copies of these boxes. One for the artist and one for the charity auction. Only the person who bids will have the complete set!
Nightmare Nights 2015 Shadowbox Workshop
We are having a workshop again this year. We'll be able to announce more details in a few days but I can say that it will be on Friday, October 23rd, at 6 PM in Chinaberry . The cost per kit will be $15 to include a 5x7 shadowbox frame. We have recently been doing silhouettes in our classes but this new design might be a tad more complex (still easy enough for a beginner). We will be releasing more details shortly!
Class Roster:
That's all the stuff you need to know in order to see us at Nightmare Nights! We look forward to seeing a lot of you again and meeting some of you for the first time!

Once again, it is almost time for Broyncon and with it, we have some exciting news! Here's the journal where you can find all the information you need about our journey to Baltimore and what you can expect from us!
Bronycon Charity Auction
After last year's success if collaborating with multiple community artists to make a set of boxes for charity, we decided to do it again! So for this year, we chose several artists and tasked them with designing concepts for the four princesses! After each choosing their princess, they got to work on the concepts and what they came up with was way beyond our expectations!
Princess Cadence by Jadedjynx
Princess Cadence was chosen by. Just like her Fluttershy last year, she didn't fail to create something complex and beautiful with mane that is going to test the limits of paper once again. We love how she chose a more formal look for her and we can't wait to make all of those crystals sparkle with glitterstock paper! This box is really going to shine!
Princess Twilight by Leekfish
Princess Twilight was chosen by who said she drew inspiration from Celestia's Ballad in Season 3. We love the simple elegance of this piece and how it really showcases Twilight's transformation into a princess, The pink ribbons and sparkles around her are going to look beautiful in glitterstock and her open wings are really going to make this look like a grand shadowbox when it is finished!
Princess Celestia by Viwrastupr
Princess Celestia was chosen by
who when told to challenge us, laughed and said we were going to regret our words. And while we're going to have a fun time with those wings, we're so glad he decided to challenge us so we could get this lovely piece. Celestia's posing really looks grand, making the focus those gorgeously detailed wings instead of her mane and tail. The sun in the background is going to look beautiful in glitterstock and the gentle billowing clouds truly add an air of wonder to the piece!
Princess Luna by TsaoShin
Princess Luna was chosen by
who delivered something truly spectacular to look at. The mixture of pink and light blue in Luna's hair echo not just the night sky but the milky way and will look gorgeous out of glitterstock. Luna's soft expression and pose makes her look like she is dancing through the night sky, painting it with her mane!
These four designs will be turned into 11" x 14" shadowboxes for the Bronycon auction and we can't wait to see how they are going to translate into paper!
Bronycon Location
This year we are booth number 420 (insert joke here)! We'll be sharing this space with and

We cannot believe it is almost Nightmare Nights again! This year has flown by! For those of you that follow us on Twitter, you know that we recently just moved and before we knew it we were late prepping for Nightmare Nights. Unfortunately, this year only Mrs. Paper Pony (and two wonderful helpers) will be attending as Mr. Paper Pony has to stay back for work. However, we will still be doing all the things we usually do at cons like selling, teaching our class and will also have a con exclusive. So let's go over the important stuff now so you know where to find us at the third year of Nightmare Nights!
