Holy crap I got my hands on a PYO dragon!!!! 😀 He has bright blue eyes and a topaz jewel, and I have no idea what to do with him :)…… *is happy* 😀
Lucky you Dragon87! Congrats! How about an apricot, peachy, rose color scheme?

I try to stay away from those because I can’t see those colors all that great (I’m not colorblind, but I have difficulty telling between differing colors of pink for some reason)… might be an interesting challenge though…. 😉 And I do like challenges….
Ah, okies… Sorry 😳 I was thinking sunset or sunrise over snowy mountains – I’ve been thinking along those lines for my Timpanogos Suite jewelry. “Sunrise over Mt. Timpanogos” where the sky and snow is a hot firey apricot which slowly blushes out to pale blue, deep turquoise and blinding white… Let me do some more thinking for colors…

Don’t apologize! It’s not your fault I can’t see pink :P. I’m sure I could think of something too, but alot of the ideas I’d have would have been taken…. hmmmmmm…… northern lights? That could turn out cool…. *think think think* but would be better with different eyes.

Inspired by a cat that died when I was 12 (I think)… kinda. Coloring yes, the actual placement of color looking like her? Purely by accident, I wasn’t working off a picture or anything. >.<
🙄 NOOOOOOOO! I finally get my hands on a PYO dragon and I break him….. ok, so it’s not bad…. I took a nice little chip out of his eye while trying to remove the eyes (sounds so gruesome, doesn’t it?), and the pieces disintegrated. I’m not exactly good at repairs, and I wanted to sell him too. Bah. Well, I still gotta pick up supplies anyway (I was a moron and left the lid off of my mixer AND left my paints in my wash jar – they solidified to the bottom, gack). 🙄 Oh well. I still got a griffin and a kirin looking at me like, are you EVER going to finish us?!? 😆

I’ve done the same thing to a few of my pyos. One of them I actually had to replace the lower lid completly. I used ‘critter clay’ to fix it and you can’t even notice it was damaged in the first place. I learned my lesson then though – I don’t bother taking out the eyes out now.

I just decided, well I hate cleaning the eyes afterwards. You can never get the stuff that’s right in the corners, and when you do, it’s because you took the paint off around the eye. So I figured I’d try taking the eyes out. I learned my lesson. A butterknife is too big to take eyes out with! 😆
Critter clay, hmm? Do you know where to get that? 😀 It’s only a small damage, I might try fixing it myself…
Sure – here’s a few links…

Not a big fan of ‘dead’ stuffed animals myself, but the second link does have a huge selection of clays and glass eyes. Critter Clay is not to expensive either, and it works just like regular clay, except it air dries. I suggest if you do get it, you play around with it first. It can be tricky and it tends to harden quickly when your working with tiny amounts. Apoxie Sculpt is also a real nice option as well. The links also provide this material and I know for most Windstone repairs most use Apoxie Sculpt 😉 .
