        I have noticed that some of you have taken out the eyes on the dragons when you paint them, How do you do that??? πŸ˜‰

        Thanks!

          Please don’t try to remove the eyes from your sculptures! It can easily break the sockets very badly. If you really need to know, I think koishiikitty can help you, and you can PM her. We would rather not have discussion on eye removal methods here for copyright/protection reasons, please. πŸ™‚

            Will do. And sorry about that. πŸ™ copyright didn’t even cross my mind when I asked… plus with the question of removing the horns on unicorns… Oops!

            Ok here is a much better question… I want to put a pearl spray as a finishing touch on a piece… How would I protect the eyes so that they don’t also get sprayed???

            Thanks

            Check out the PYO facts under the same Paint-Your-Own Windstone forum. Look under the section that talks about masking fluid. You paint it over the eyes, then remove it after you’re done.

                Thank you both for the link!

                Good info! I think I might try to use the masking tape if I get brave enough to! lol πŸ˜›

                  It’s totally okay! πŸ˜€ I wouldn’t think of these things myself if I didn’t work for Windstone, hehe! This is a public forum (anyone in the world can read it) and we don’t want to inadvertently make it easier for someone with malicious intent to rip off Windstone is all. πŸ™‚

                    Taxidermy eye protect is awesome stuff and lasts near forever. I really like it actually. πŸ™‚ You just dab it carefully on the eyes and then when your done just peel it off with a toothpick. πŸ™‚

                      I can paint around the eyes with little to no problems, Spraying it makes me nervous! πŸ˜› I am trying to find something around the house to do a test spray first on to make sure I really want that kind of finish on my little PYO dragon!

                      Well I tested it and if I am going to use a pearly type of paint I am not going to need the spray since you won’t really be able to tell that it is there.

                      Maybe I’ll try another peice sometime in the future???
