That’s a great color, I love how close the mini keeper is to the original color scheme. Are the eyes the same color as the lap dragons? They look close in the picture, but maybe different lighting hitting them?
The eyes are close to the same color but they’re not identical. Olimpia Carapia painted the lap and she liked to use dichroic glass eyes in her pieces. The lap’s eyes are slightly darker and more vibrant than the mini-keeper’s eyes which are standard Windstone eyes.
All this talk of Labradorite pieces made me nostalgic, and I went browsing through the Ebay Gallery… so many pieces seem to be missing! Did Windstone lose their older photos during the move, maybe? Or did something else happen?
Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).
They lost a lot during the move, or maybe just didn’t think that things were worth transferring over. At one point Melody’s Blog was going away but fortunately they decided to keep it.
P.S. Today’s trivia – In the early days of the Forum people meant “Cinnamon Pearl” when they were posting about CP dragons. “Copper Patina” came later.
Thank you Etruscan for posting photos, the Spectral is stunning!!
The name fits perfectly!!
Such a beautiful, majestic dragon !!
Big Hugs !!Gorgeous Lap and Mini Keeper Etruscan!!
WOW!!

Thank you for sharing photos; they are lovely.
Hugs !!The forum had a large upgrade several years ago where all of our personal PM’s, galleries, and many more things were wiped from existence for a long time and that included the ebay galleries. Some threads even got wiped out but many were eventually restored although some have show their old school compatibility issues and glitches. You will see tiny font and then HUGE ENORMOUS font in places, but for the most part they’re readable. Susie always meant to put the galleries back in at some point but I think that task got thrown to the wayside after a while. She’s only one person after all. Artist galleries were eventually added but they were never really fully completed. Melody’s, Patricia’s and Brandi’s are probably the most complete. It’s possible the information or photos from before hand were lost in the upgrade and then combined with moving their physical locations from California to Oregon I think may have also contributed to the lack of old photos of pieces from Helen Mishkin, Jennifer Miller, and Olimpia Carpia.
Sometimes you strike lucky on a google search if you know what you’re looking for.
