She keeps Moët et Chandon,
In a pretty cabinet;
“Let them eat cake,” she says—
Just like Marie Antoinette!
A built-in remedy,
For Khrushchev and Kennedy;
At any time an invitation:
You can’t de-cline…

Caviar, and cigarettes,
Well-versed in etiquette—
(Extraordin-arily nice!)

She’s a Killer…Queeeeeeeen!
Gunpowder, gelatine!
Dynamite, with a laser beam!
Gua-ranteed to blow your mind—

(Anytiiiiiiiiiiiime—!)

There’s a scene from Party of One where Pinkie Pie interrogates Spike. In the beginning, when the lights go and she starts to tempt him, she acts quite atypically sultry, and it visually stuck with me for an entire year. When it came time, I knew I had to use that expression for her window.

This is the last window. Now the final painting that puts everything together is coming up. Thank you to everyone—everyone—who helped me with this last window. I couldn’t’ve done it without you all.

(Also, please note how Pinkie Pie’s is the only window that’s looking straight at you. XD)

No indeed! We are not strong,
But we know Peoples that are.
Yes, and we’ll guide them along,
To smash and destroy you in War!
We shall be slaves just the same?
Yes, we have always been slaves,
But you — you will die of the shame,
And then we shall dance on your graves!

Pinkie Pie is next. She is the last before the final painting.

(Why yes, I do know the irony of using this particular poem for a pony with a Greco-Roman aesthetic.)

Nature, the gentlest mother,
Impatient of no child,
The feeblest or the waywardest,—
Her admonition mild

In forest and the hill
By traveller is heard,
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impetuous bird.

How fair her conversation,
A summer afternoon,—
Her household, her assembly;
And when the sun goes down

Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
Of the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.

When all the children sleep
She turns as long away
As will suffice to light her lamps;
Then, bending from the sky,

With infinite affection
And infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.

Rainbow Dash is next!

Ha ha! Baited and switched! You thought this would be another cute window! And the WIPs for the past few days were of a cute Fluttershy with a ton of birds! Nope! This is Shed.mov/Jappleack’s Fluttershy!

April Fools!

(Please don’t kill me the real one will be up tomorrow ;_;)

I’ve been very busy. :(

Dee (thedeedeedee.deviantart.com) commissioned me. Kevin Sano (kevinsano.deviantart.com) has one of many pony ask blogs about a creature codenamed CERI (query-version30.tumblr.com). Dee asked me to make a Secreta Altare-style stained glass window for CERI. It was an honor to be able to make something for two of my artistic inspirations.

I am indebted to all my friends for their help and patience, as always—and especially, Yawg, who is always an inspiration. I am so glad the composition turned out well, and I got better at really painting in turn.

Next is Fluttershy.

I am indebted again to everyone in Peripatos for their wonderful help and patience. Special thanks to Mr. Sparkles Fantastic for his idea to turn the heart to the Fire Ruby of Spike, and also to No-Ink for his idea to fill the bottom empty space with a spool connected to the thread.

Onto Applejack!

Lauren Faust—hanging around ink too much, you can *become* ink! Gasp. No wai.

Onto…well, who’s next? I’m doing the rest of the Mane Six now. Okay, Rarity; that’s Yawg’s favorite.

Twilight, that strange and eerie interface between Day and Night. When the Gloaming sends its gold rays, rose clouds, and purple skies over the velvet earth, don’t you get the feeling of some uncanny transition, of some je ne sais quoi in your gut?

Whatever. Onto Faustpony!
