“BRING ON THE BLING”

I identify as a symbolist and transformational healer. I am inspired by giving new life to old objects, so this pony was right in keeping with that. I felt energy flowing from her – from the children who had ridden her.

Each part of the process evolved naturally and spontaneously, after I set my own intentions for it aside. The final outcome is not what I had planned – rather, it took on a life of its own. I imagined my pony shelved in the dark like a thrown out robot, wanting to be free and brought back to life with rainbow crystals and golden light. I am delighted, because my pony taught me many lessons during her creation, and reminded me of the importance of second chances and comebacks in life. Once merely a coin machine, she now symbolizes the true nature of imagination, giving precious dreams the ride of
real life.
