Esper (short for Esperanza which means "hope" in Spanish) is the Angel of Hope. I made her as a "going away" present for a lady at work. She used to be a tail-less, symbol-less Parasol. I initially was going to make her into a breast cancer awareness pony since the lady she was made for is also a breast cancer survivor, but decided an angel would be prettier. It is hard to really tell the detail in the pictures. I used her forelock to create her "halo". She wears a white cotton skirt that is layered with tulle lace, and the lace is edged with beads. I made the skirt by hand. Her wings are attached with ribbons, so that they can easily be removed. Her pearly finish looks much better in the pictures than it actually looks, though. I couldn't get a lot of the grit out of the pony's body, so I pearlized it to try to cover some of the blemishes.
