It’s sad really, most businesses are leaving CA if not the US entirely. It is so hard for my husband and I to make a living here, expecially for me as an artist. I seek so much inspiration from Melody’s works, I just have to talk to her. 😀
She’s been in the business for a long time, I’m sure any words of advice would be highly encouraging.
I was brave and rescued the print from it’s horrible wood and glass prison. I took pictures and will post them soon.

I just read this thread, I’m no font of wisdom, but I’m certainly packed full of opinions and rants! (as well as the Christmas goodies that I am trying to shed now. Man those pralines were good!) And you do a comic strip!! oh man , I love it!
Oh wow…just wow. I wasn’t expecting to hear from you so soon, I guess that’s the neat part about the internet, it’s so immediate. I have my own forum as well but it’s pretty much dead in there, LOL. 😆
I guess I will send you a nice note. Talk to you soon!
You should go to the factory and meet her in person!!
She LOVES to meet us as long as you tell her about it before you get thereMelody and I are chittering away now, thank you so much for all your warm invitations. I can’t wait to start my own PYOs.
I sent her the file for the print. I want her permission before I post the picture here. I will post again soon!
Okay here it goes…this is the print that’s been of family discussion since the late 80’s.
It’s dated 1981. I’ve loved it ever since I was a small child. Sadly there is some visible tobbacco damage at the top but will be hidden by mats when I frame it archivally.
Isn’t it just stunningly precious and absolutely gorgeous? I love Melody’s work!
I am still trying to discuss furthor with Melody about the history and story of this print. I will post again if I learn anything more.
She tells me that Windstone was one of the first companies to print unicorn and fantasy art. They started in the 70’s distributing to craft malls and such. There were originally done on scratchboard and most prints are sold out. The remaining ones are sold through her art prints store online.
I feel so fortunate that my mother held onto this print for so many many years, she could have easily thrown it out. I’m glad she didn’t…

Hi and welcome. If you look under Profile, at the top, you can load a signature line and/or an avatar. It have to be fairly small though.
Hey There,
I’m still here- lurking.
I haven’t really a single penny right now for another dragon though I yearn for a Black and Gold Curly. It’s funny- now I am moving too just like Windstone. When I move to my new home and set up my studio I want to tackle one of those PYOs.
I just wanted to let everyone know I finished framing Melody’s wonderful print. It’s completely archival and protected for posterity. I will post pix after the forums are back up.
Until then, take care!
