I was digging through boxes, and found some more photos I thought you might like to see. This is Windstone Editions in full swing when we were in California on Saticoy St. in North Hollywood. These show the paint department, and were probably taken around 1989. (That is a guess, we really should of documented … Read more
A mold we just took out of the cabinet. Some creature was using it for a pantry! Probably mice. We have no idea where the corn was gathered from!
Sorry this took so long to post! Here is “Odd Ida”, the odd-eyed griffin for the Ides of March…or the Odds of March. Whatever. She is a lovely female griffin that has been hanging around looking like she needs a home. She is painted in test paint colors similar to the “Brown” griffin color, but … Read more
I painted a baby meerkat like a puppy. Everyone thought they were so cute that we painted a batch of them.

I returned John Alberti’s call, and we had a marvelous, wide-ranging conversation. He explained that Windstone Editions is America’s premier makers of collectible “fantasy figurines” – dragons, griffins, unicorns, winged cats, flying horses and an entire menagerie of mythological creatures I had never heard of – like a kirin, an oriental unicorn. “Collectors refer to … Read more
Windstone Editions entered my consciousness on the third Thursday of the month late in 2008. Just after 4 p.m., the house phone rang. Most business calls come in on the cell phone, so I let the call ring through to voice mail. When I picked up the message, I discovered I had missed a business … Read more
