Action type poses?

If I did, I probably had to check my pants after reading the price… 😯

That was about my reaction when I saw that. Of course, if there’s no other place to get him, somebody’d go for him if they’ve got a wallet like Nirvana’s. I’m just glad Cheryl was so helpful and nabbed my Riser for me for $100 less than Headlines’s.

Is there any type of action type molds in progress?

Don’t get me wrong, I love my dragons and there isn’t any other sculpt I feel that could hold a candle to the Windstones! But all of the dragons are either laying down or sitting, except for the scratching dragon. Is there any chance of getting one standing or with wings extended? Something in motion? Maybe attacking or stalking?

Same with the flions and gryphons… I think an attacking flion would be simply awesome if there was a way to work the mold.

Just wondering!
Two reasons that I don’t do action poses:
One is, like everyone told you, gypsum just isn’t the medium for that sort of thing. I am proud of the almost-action poses we have managed; the rearing pegasus, for example, was really stretching our material and methods!
The second reason, and this is just as important to me, is the emotional connection people have with Windstone creatures. If you have a roaring clawing dragon sculpture, frozen in mid-attack, well you know he isn’t in YOUR world. Either you emotionally treat him more as just a SCULPTURE of a dragon, or that he is acting out in his own little dramatic story in his own world. He is less present with you, as a companion and fellow living thing in the room, the way I want Windstones to be. (…even though they happen to be stone right now.)

Interesting reason. But the dragons do seem much more alive doing nothing than they would be, doing the same intense move forever.

Very true, never quite thought about it that way, but very true!

Headlines has an emerald Riser – for the royal price of $370. Maybe you saw him.

Wow, that is a more than what I paid for my Emerald riser.

Ahhh well thank you very much for your explanation:) Makes a lot of sense.

Any chance for a dragon maybe standing on a base, not necessarily an action pose, but standing somewhat like the orientals?

Either way, your work is the best I have ever seen hands down. Everyone who walks in and sees my collection compliments on how beautiful your pieces are, so thank you very much for being able to share all of your talent and creativity with us 😀
