2012 Windstone eBay AUCTIONS

As I have mentioned before, I am fairly certain that most if not all of the “special first ten editions” were painted by production painters, even though they were signed by Melody. To my knowledge, the Black Grand Unis, some of our very first eBay pieces, were also not painted by Melody. So this is not a new occurrence. It would probably be a good idea though to find some way of marking these pieces so there is no future confusion about whether Melody painted them or not (I will talk to john about it). For the record, PS did not have a problem with Melody signing this piece, since it was not a color scheme she (PS) invented. 🙂

Gosh, I’ve been around forever and even I didn’t know that! Thanks for the information.

That Indigo male is “WOW”! :O :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

I am loving that Indigo Moon Dragon! 🙂

The “Copper Patina” Little Rock Dragon is signed by Melody, but the text says that he was painted by one of the production painters. I am guessing that Melody signed him because Copper Patina is one of her color schemes, even though this piece was painted by somebody else? Or is the text wrong and he actually was painted by Melody? Either way, he looks very handsome!

The CP rock dragon was painted by P.S., but signed by Melod since it is her color. This is also what happened with the CP stegosaurus and the CP prototype OW’s 🙂

When I see a signature on a piece of art, I assume it was painted by that person. If P.S. painted this piece, it should be signed by her, not by Melody. People see Melody’s signature and often pay more just because it is “signed.” Does anyone see a piece signed “Melody Pena” and think it was painted by someone else?

I’m agreeing with you syn, now I am wondering how many of Melody’s pieces I have that weren’t even painted by her. Probably mostly the production “style” stuff. Like ALL my Violet Wolf Griffins and “special” paint Red Fires, Golds, and Black and Golds I have… that’s sort of a shock actually. They go for so much more money and they weren’t very special afterall, but I know the COA’s all speak in the first person “I have painted in the style…” with Melody’s signature. I wonder if the Prototype Old Warriors in colors like Black and Gold, Emerald, Peacock, etc were painted by production painters too?

Sounds good to me Pam. I’d just be curious to know.

I don’t have any of the special Amethysts or Copper Patinas so I cant check on that, but I’m pretty sure the Red Fires, and the Black and Gold, Gold, and Em Pea *special 10 invisible paint* versions all are in the 1st person. The violet Wolf Family too I thought. I’ll have to double check.

Wondering why the poppy jasper stone was not used on the newest Mars dragons? I like the natural stones and thought the poppy jasper was a good fit in color. Was it a supply issue or just trying different colors?
