Test Paints & Artists' editions

If we ever do list them, they will be special, yes.

To clarify: The difference between an “Artist’s edition” and a “Test Paint” is that the Artist Edition usually has a pattern that is too complicated, or a color that is too time consuming to ever paint as production color, though we may approximate the general color in a simpler way on production things. For example; the “Red Fire” production color was similar to some of Olimpia’s red Artist Edition dragons, but not painted with as many layers of paint )
A Test Paint is a color that could be considered as a possible future production color, but may, or may not ever be produced. Almost all the pieces I do now are test paints, unless I go really crazy with hand painting…

I don’t remember how long ago we started the designation Artist’s Edition, I think it has only been around about three years. When we first started using Ebay we often made “limited Editions”. This was a huge mistake with our normal pieces, as we soon discovered, because now we can’t make more of some colors that we would like to! I try hard not to paint us into corners now.
