Twilight Sparkle was one of my favorite ponies to make! She has such fun colors- my boss found this awesome purple in our stock for her! She’s made with Tiffany style (copper foil) stained glass and utilizes both machine made and hand rolled glass. Details are painted with enamel paint and heat set for durability. She’s approximately 12” tall x 10” wide and took about 10 hours to make.
This piece is impossible to photograph correctly! I tried so many times and the rich colors she looks like in person just do not come out right on the camera. Her mane in particular is the worst- her body is a rich splotchy purple (which looks blue under florescent lights with no backlighting, purple under incandescent and rich purple splotchy with full sun back-light) and her mane is in reality a very dense purple. Her mane in the pictures, no matter how hard I tried to get that color to show up, it was just too dense and any light that showed it also blew out the image in the camera, so her mane shows up as near black in pictures. It is purple and not black, I promise. She just does best with full sunlight in a window seen in person and not on camera! See this image ( sta.sh/0l8q78wevmj ) for examples of how this glass changes based on light- the top image is completely blown out and not representative of the color on the skin but does show the mane has color and the bottom shows the color a bit better than any of the others.

EDIT: By random chance during a note chat with a friend I found out the reason this glass is impossible to photograph: It’s made with Neodymium- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymiu… “Neodymium glass (Nd:glass) is produced by the inclusion of neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) in the glass melt. […] The sharp absorption bands of neodymium cause the glass color to change under different lighting conditions, being reddish-purple under daylight or yellow incandescent light, but blue under white fluorescent lighting, or greenish under trichromatic lighting. This color-change phenomenon is highly prized by collectors. In combination with gold or selenium, beautiful red colors result.”
So Cool! I love how glass is made and the properties of different glasses. Neodymium glass is now my second favorite, right behind my first favorite, Uranium Glass- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_…
