Feathered Princess Celestia Plush with Accessories

Finally!! After 7 months of toil and frustration, I am now the proud owner of a completed Princess Celestia plush of my own making! Yay!

Unfortunately, I was unable to get any good sunshine pictures...this will be remedied the next sunny day!
EDIT: Link to Sunlit picture collage: [link]

Princess Celestia stands 25" tall, and is at least 35" stem to stern (w/hair fluffed out). She is made from a wide variety of materials, including fleece, organza, wire, feathers, and foam.

She has a mane and tail made out of organza w/wiring to hold form & style, and machine embroidered eyes and cutie mark. Her wings are made from craft feathers w/a wire mesh base to prevent "folding" of the feathers.

The accessories are removable, and are made with a foam core, wire to allow molding, and covered w/a stretchy gold fabric (I have no idea what it is, other than it was the only actual gold colored fabric in the store that didn't look like it was reptilian in origin).

All patterns were created by me (including embroidery), but I did get inspiration from a few sources and built upon their great ideas:

Unicorn horns: [link]

Head Shape (modified for Celestia, but excellent base, and the cutest Jolteon ever!): [link]

To use wire in the mane was from [link]

And the very first pony pattern that got me started on this road:[link]§ion=&global=1&q=MLP_FiM-like+Plushie+MARE#/d3hjxdi

I will be working on Princess Luna next, and plan on making open wings with full feathering for her.

When I finally regrow all the hair I ripped out trying to sew all the organza layers together, I will probably do another Princess Celestia, but with minky and open wings, too. I just love their wings! But that is a ways in the future.

Thank you for looking!
