Goldie Delicious/Applebloom's Brooch

thingiverse

Way back in Season 4 Episode 9 of MLP, Goldie Delicious's brooch caught my eye as a pretty cool design, and I thought for sure the fandom would create one, but I never saw anyone make it. \r\n\r\nFast forward to about a month ago, when I was learning with FreeCAD and experimenting, I decided to see if I could make my own Goldie Delicious brooch. I extracted the brooch from a larger vector file, did some import and clean up, tested out the relief, then applied some acrylic paint. Up close, the mistakes in my paint job are really clear, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.\r\n\r\nThere are two versions of the file - The original brooch in the show has an eyelash, but at 40mm across the major axis, my printer can only do a small nub in the center, which doesn't look good. So I re-exported without it. You're free to try either version.\r\n\r\nBig thanks go out to GEZawaTT over on Deviantart for creating the vector file.

I updated the name and added her to the tags for better searchability, and included a screenshot of adult Applebloom wearing it.
