Hi All,
I am nearing completion on my second griffin which I will probably sell on eBay. Pictures will likely be up tomorrow after admin approval. I post them here first to make sure they pass muster on the not infringing on copy writes issue. The internal debate I am having is thus…
Do I sign the felt pad as a painter or not?
Personally I am feeling like I should not sign as these are really Melody’s work. Plus I do not see the painters at Windstone signing them. However I have noticed that some do on eBay. Do you think it makes a difference to the end buyer or not?
Thank you all for your input.

I put my name on the felt pad, as well as the year. I even sometimes put the name I gave it, like Strawberry dragon, Purple thunderstorm…
The few PYOs I have from other people are also signed.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmI think you should sign it. Pena is already on the sculpt, so you need to add your signature for the painting.
I have only gotten a few pyo but they are signed and I like it that way. The pyo are made for artist and who knows maybe one of these artist will work for Melody one day. That would be cool.
I thought I saw that the original color schemes painted by Nam and Olympia (?sp) are signed by the painter. Having your signature on the bottom also shows that it was painted by you and no one else.
I have 15 PYOs from 8 different people… most, if not all (can’t check b/c they’re boxed), have signed the bottom. I know the felt is pretty small on the griffs, but I’d attempt to squeeze your signature, date completed, and its name (if you give it one) on it.
I sign all the PYOs I do – Windstone takes credit with the stamp on the bottom, and the felt pad itself; we as painters have also contributed something to the piece, so we can give ourselves credit too. 😉

In the equine resin custom’s world all artists that customs or paint them will sign and date the finish resin. I don’t see why we should withhold to do so.
I didnt sign the frist few I did but the Frozen yelled at me and told me I should. All the ones I have bought are signed and I like it that way. When they become famous I can sell their griffins for billions of dollars. Cant do that if they dont have a siggy. 😉 Def sign.
i sign the the pad,i only do the year though,i also on the box under the pyo sticker put the critters name,since i have been giving them names as of late,i also write painted by and sign my name and then the year agian,the wolf set i did for the seasons i did also write the season name on the pad as well,to be honest the only one i couldnt sign my name on was the muse,with the muse it was just my initials and the year,then i also put her name the year and signed the box,darn muse is just to small 😆
