    Melody,

    You had posted a while back that you were considering doing a line of varied FlapCats for people to PYO their own pets (present or decesed). I haven’t seen anything on the subject since then… I realize you are quite busy, especially now with your e-bay auctions, limited productions, limeted editions, CafePress, etc… Given the variation possible with cats, it would take a while to make a decent selection… I was wondering after all this dithering on that I’ve been doing… If the curretly sculpted/molds of flapcats could be easily made into PYO’s???? I’d love to have memorials for my babies: Marmalade (16), Max (19), Pounce (3), and my poor Meercat (2) who met up with either a cougar or bobcat and lost. Also to have my two new babies: Tessa and Faeden (adopted from Priest River Animal Rescue) as sculptures would be wonderful. Only 1 of my babies could not be successfully reproduced in your current sculptures of flap cats. I can be patient for my Max when you make a larger variety of styles. (just incase you wonder why: it is because Maxie boy had such a kinky tail that it looked like he’d lost half of it and it was fluffy like a bunny. LOL) I’m sure with the current variety of winged (bird/bat) cats that you have sculpted; there’d be enough people with symilar-bodied loved-ones that it would work. Does anyone else think this could work?

      As far as I know, none of the production sculptures will ever be PYOs, for copyright reasons. That’s why the PYO line is completely separate from the production line. 🙂

      🙁 Making an extremely sad, pouty face if that is true…. 😥 But I guess it would make sense.

        I think she still plans on doing some flapcat memorial PYOs though! She probably just won’t be able to work on them at all until they get their casting department moved and set back up in a month or three.

                She’s Katie, Katie Jo, or Boo. She’s 13 (14 in March) and tiny. Just a handfull. I think she weighs about 5 lbs. She’s my little love. 😀

                  -CatWingI am planning to do a line of cat memorials, and I have an unfinished Flapcat sculpture that I planned to produce as a pyo just for that purpose. There is a pic of it in my gallery somewhere.. I want to do a sculpture of each type of cat. Fat and round, thin and long, fluffy, tailless etc. This is my next project. I even would like to sculpt them with a chamber (or perhaps provide a separate receptacle that the sculpture could sit on)large enough to house ashes of a deceased cat.

                    Now you really will bankrupt me 😯 Do you know how many of my deceased cats I cremated… ALL OF THEM, and what a wonderful way to display them. My friends are creeped out by the cabinet of death where all there ashes currently rest, now I can hide/display them in plain sight 😈

                      The receptacle is a wonderful idea, Melody! I think cat owners would really go for something like that. When my JouJou passed away, I had a terrible time finding something unique for his ashes. I ended up finding a woman that made stained glass urns…my JouJou is housed in a black and white pyramid (he was a tuxedo cat) made esp. for him. I’m not looking forward to loosing any of my babies, but it would be wonderful to have a Windstone flapcat urn.

                        I would love something similar to be done with the PYO phoenix, for feathered friends we have lost. A very beautiful and symbolic memorial for them.
