My Little Pony Custom: Winter. Based on G1 Blue Belle. Paint, Rehair/Reroot and Ice / Snowflakes

This week I wanted to try a custom... out of my imagination :D I'm working on a few restorations that are taking a bit longer, and you might remember I was struggling last week too (THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your amazing comments! It's become quite difficult to reply to them but I definitely have READ them ALL and I'm truly grateful for this incredible community). So here it is... The winter pony! (I'd actually love to hear suggestions for names). I decided to use this damaged Blue Belle G1 pony. The symbols were partially erased and it had no hair, but the body colour was perfect for an icy inspiration. If you enjoyed it, I could make ponies for the other seasons.
