Very very nice! I want to try a sculpture like that myself one day. Its a wonderful idea. I love fossils. I only own one or two myself (fish…which are cheap!) but they are so wonderful. What an amazing job he did to. The bones are so perfect looking! Very very nice stuff!

Your husband makes those wicked cool fantasy fossils? Did he show them at Dragon*Con this year by any chance? There were some amazing ones there but I couldn’t afford the dragon I liked.

My art: featherdust.comLooking at that picture from Harry Potter, I think the better name would have been the cerastes, but then its ability would have been just exceptional flexibility. But it would have looked right.
Most people make basilisks look horribly ugly. This rendition is the best I can find online:
but I prefer them to look something like this (a five-second Gimp sketch):
Wow!!! Thanks everyone for the cool pics and the info. I always thought the cockatrice looked like ski’s ‘deformed chicken’ too! I’m not sure I’d want a Windstone like that, but knowing Melody, she probably has a much better vision of one. 😀

He was not at DragonCon. You can see his other fossils (including a dragon one) on my Web site, address listed below.
Where is DragonCon and is there a Web site for it?
Here’s DragonCon’s website. It’s held in Atlanta, GA, every Labor Day weekend.

My apologies! I found the person whose work I saw there:
http://www.battleduck.com/I saw your husband’s dragon but I’m one of those people that hates faeries and so the wings don’t appeal to me too much. It’s VERY nice work though!!
Dragon*Con, as starbreeze already linked to it, is a huge fantasy/sci-fi convention held in Atlanta every year. This year we broke 30,000 people in attendance!

My art: featherdust.comThanks for the info. The Convention looks like fun. They’ve had some guests who I’ve met already and would like to see again (like Kevin J. Anderson and Margaret Weis), and some others that I’d like to meet for the first time (like the Stargate folks and Anne McCaffrey). If we ever get down that way we’ll try to get dealers tables there (and see who the guests will be then).
The dragon fossils are very nice. I sent a link to them to my husband, so I’ll get his opinion too. I’m not sure I like all the vertabrae spikes though. They make it seem too filled in and seems like they would limit its movement.
Anyway… thanks. They’re cool. It’s always nice to see what other people are doing and compare.
***I’ve decided for you folks that I will do layaways for the Windstone and Fairy Fossil items. I will need 10% down to hold it. You can pay through PayPal or send me a check or money order (PM me for my address).
DON’T click a Buy Now button, or it will take you to PayPal and make you pay the whole thing. I will need at least 25% per month following the down payment. I can send invoices, if you wish, figuring in out for you. If you pay with PayPal, there will be a fee added for the monthly fees PayPal will charge me.
How does this sound?
