They don’t cost much to make at all. Just my time to pour and clean the greenware. Most of them are simple. The Ambush Dragon is a little bit of work because it’s in 4 pieces.
It’s just FREEZING over at the studio right now because we shut it down for the winter so it would take a few weeks before I could find the time to do it. I can pack up all 3 of the bisque ones if you want and ship them out to you. Then I’ll let you know what it cost to ship ’em and you can pay me after the fact. They are very light, but very fragile so I have to put them in big boxes, but since they are so light it shouldn’t be more then about 20 bucks to send them all together.
Sweet, something else to practice painting on. Let me know.February 13, 2007 at 2:24 am #529083Yea, I’ll send you a PM about it.

LOL! I’m glad I coul dbe of help *blush*
Hey, DragonsCavern, I do technically have 2 of the 3 headed dragon incense lamps. He’s a little over 6 inches tall and probably about 7 with the base. You can have him if you want. I’d only charge for the shipping.

And Drag0n, do you have the 1890 Dragon head smoker or the 2327 Firekeeper dragon head (yes I asked before reading what you had)?

I do have 1890 which is the Dragon Head. I just don’t have any poured right now. For some reason we never got the fire keeper though. I managed to get a bisque one once on ebay, but it broke in shipping and I never tried again.
If I can track a greenware one down I’ll clean it for you and fire it. I haven’t checked the clay stock. Maybe when the snow storm we are supposed to get passes I can pour one sometime next week if you want one.

February 17, 2007 at 12:06 am #529092Okay, my step dad is going to give me a hand pouring in a few weeks. He just had some carpel tunnel surgery and I need help dumping the molds since some of them weigh like 80 pounds. In the mean time I’m goig to start mixing the slip a little, day by day. It hasn’t been used in so long the water has risen to the top and it needs to be remixed. Tricky when you have about 500 gallons of it about 20 feet under your shoes, LOL!
I’m going to mail the box with the ones I had out Monday. It’s a little heavier then I thought cause I packed in an extra thing. I’m hoping they make a safe trip. They’re double boxed but ceramics are REALLY fragile so I’ll slap some mad insurance on it just incase 😉
Oh and DragonsCavern, I put an extra thing in your box too. It’s interchangeable with the 3 headed dragon base so you can switch it depending on your mood 8)

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET! YOU ROCK DragOn! 😉
February 17, 2007 at 12:18 am #529094Oh, if you guys need any info on painting them let me know. It’s completely different then a Windstone. They are alot easier and faster. Drybrushing works killer on them. Paint the whole thing Black first and then use a medium stiffness brush to drubrush the piece. Take excess paint off by swirling in on some paper and lightly drag your brush opposite the grain to get an antique effect. The colors may take a while to build up, but after a coat the second will come out alot more vibrant.
This one was base coated black and then drybrushed various colors, but the wingwebs were bese coated red then drubrushed with green. He has 24 kt fire on gold which you won’t be able to do without a ciln, but paint on gold works just as well. The holes in the sides are air holes which you need to keep the incense cone from burning out. This is the biggest dragon I have, smoke comes out of the mouth. I’m going to try and pour some if I can manage it. He is a combination of 5 molds that get connected while it dries. (body/head/crown/and wings) To put it frank, he’s a real bitch to pour, but fun none the less =) He’s about a foot tall, maybe more.Oh and a word of warning. These are by no means NEARLY as nice as a Windstone. It’s not even in the realm of a possibility! So don’t be too dissappointed when you see them.

February 17, 2007 at 4:36 am #529096Just drybrushing, it’s really easy, but takes practice. I was thinking of shooting a video on youtube about it, since alot of people on the forum have trouble with drybrushung.
