The Artist- Mary Lwyd

Mari Lwyd, also known as Eskara, has been a member of the online pony community since early 1999. In that time, she has developed a deep knowledge of and love for toy restoration and customization. While she's only been online since 1999, she's collected ponies since 1986, when she was 3 and received First Tooth Baby Quackers as a birthday present. The collection has since been fed by gifts, flea markets, and thrift shops and now numbers somewhere in the mid-hundreds. An exact number can't be known because ponies are constantly moving from the sale box into the collection and vice-versa!

She always has about a dozen projects going at once and somewhere around 80% of them actually reach completion. Why focus on one thing when you can do a hundred?

Life motto: Smile! It makes people wonder what you're up to.

Assistant Box Inspectors

Calan Gaef- Every office has that one employee that you wonder how they keep their job and why they're there. Calan can most often be found hiding under the bed or in a closet. She might look at a box, but that's the degree of her inspection.
fig Fig- While he'd rather be outside chasing squirrels or tormenting his fellow employees, Fig is a hard worker and will sing all day long.

Interns

Saxon- The youngest member of the team, Saxon enjoys running around the building and ensuring everything is secure. He hopes to move into a Security position one day and considers everyone a friend saxon
Minnow- She knows she's beautiful; but, don't touch her! Minnow provides comfort to Calan, regularly grooms Fig, and helps Saxon work out his extra energy. She thinks she wants to be a secretary, but she might do better as an administrative assistant. minnow
