We have made the executive decision. We are soon going to stop using the “general” hang tags on the fine finish pieces. The hang tags were intended for use in retail stores, so that the store personnel and customers would have a little bit of info about us. Most of our sales are now direct … Read more

Tangerine is a pearly orange and lavender Fledgling dragon. She has a Tanzanite colored Swarovski jewel in her forehead and periwinkle colored glass eyes, If you … Read more
There are two raffle prizes this month! The main raffle prize is “Elven”, an Old Warrior dragon that I have test painted in Elvish silver grey and leafy green. These colors almost go together, but not quite. Every once in a while I try again. This dragon is the best so far. Elven looks washed … Read more

I forgot my camera. On the left is a lovely sketch I did with my computer mouse of this month’s raffle prize. If you can’t tell what it is, it is supposed to be a Male Kirin painted like an orange, white and black koi. I’ll take an actual photo for him tomorrow, but I … Read more
This pair is from my Mom’s estate. They are a little dusty. You almost NEVER see one of these lambs (we only sold about 36 of them!), and I don’t think these two were ever photo’d together the way they were intended. See how his leg points to the lamb’s face? This is why the … Read more
Like almost all of our raffle prizes, this dragon is a “rescue” piece that I repainted. I honestly couldn’t find anything wrong with him, but he was on our “rescue” shelf. I airbrushed him in fancy autumn colors (like everything I have been painting lately)- has grass green eyes and green Swarovski jewels in his … Read more
This is “Abacus”, the pied Pegasus stallion . He is this month’s raffle prize! I chose the name Abacus because it was the first one in an online, alphabetical list of horse names I looked up. I have trouble naming things. He also kinda looks like he has beads along the edge of his markings. … Read more
This is the clayed-up male foo dog about to have his first mold made. You can get an idea of what he looks like. Both front feet are down., like the foo-mom. If you guys REALLY want me to change him so that he has his front foot up so it can be on a … Read more
The Ocelot griffin chicks, both sitting ones and crouching ones, and lavender Young Oriental dragons are just about to get packed up and put in the store. They are so cute.

This is the first step in the mold making process.For some reason, I’ve always found this stage of the process to be beautiful.I guess it is because I like to see the forms simplified. … Read more
