After this section being up for a while now, I just want to say once again – and I know I’m not alone in the sentiment – Melody, your work is both inspired and inspiring. You bring such realism to fantasy creatures it is really quite breath-taking. There have been so many gorgeous pieces in the last while, it’s like being in an art gallery just visiting the page.
Congrats to everyone behind the scenes who worked so hard to get the bugs all worked out, too. I know it was a bit rough in the beginning, but now the “Sold” signs speak for themselves! At no harm to eBay either, it would seem 😉
Anyway, thanks to all who keep creating and making the gypsum come to life and getting them sent safely to our homes 🙂
This “Special” section really is special.
Life is beautiful.
Thanks for the kind words. I have, for a long time, wanted to find a way to showcase (and offer for sale) some really special pieces, so I am thrilled to see how this has been received. As the list lengthens, we will obviously have to go to a different format or somehow create a gallery space to move the sold pieces into. Actually, I hate the list format of web stores but know of no great alternative to it. I do hope that one day we will have the time and money to maybe make a more graphic and dimensional gallery space that one could navigate through. More museum-like.
And do we ever need to publish the Windstone Book! We have certainly reached new heights for quality and decoration and it needs to be properly memorialized. However, the painting seems to improve daily and I am guessing that the best is yet to come, unless Melody gets sick of painting and stops. Should that happen, I am sure that we will showcase and enjoy Windstone pieces with other artist’s work.
You are totally welcome! All true, too 🙂
You said that

That’s such a great idea! In the meantime, maybe you could just create a specarat sections (like the postponed production and retired sections) that shows the sold pieces? They could be there until the gallery gets up and running or, just move them into the section that had the ebay items etc?
Oh, yes a Windstone Book! Chronicling the sculpts and colour families as they have evolved and the ebay and sepcail pieces. I know there’s been some mention of a COA book, too.
Both will be big jobs to compile, but, wow, what a result.
Hoping Melody and the other artists keep feeling like painting and you all stay well, too.
Life is beautiful.
Why, oh why, are the current ebay and special pieces shiny? The equines I got from ebay a year or two ago are much less glossy. The only good thing about it is I don’t mind missing the Zorse baby pegasus (much) because he wouldn’t have matched my Bay Zorse mother peg anyway. 🙁
I like shiny scales and less shiny fur, but in the end, I don’t think I really care that much either way
Got a busted Windstone?

Dreamscape, Orion, Poison Dart, Fireberry, Spangler + Tigerberry DragonsI have bought a few of the shiny pieces, and usually have been disappointed when they arrived. However, as Pam indicates, maybe I am in the minority. To me the really shiny pieces just look wrong, whether dragons or equines.
I prefer less shiney. The gloss distracts from my admiration of the paint job on the equines and griffins, but I do like a nice shine on my dragons….I think it’s because they are smooth so light should slide along them, with textured pieces, I prefer no shiney.

I know that it has been a busy week, but I kinda think it’s time to start the gallery of “Sold” pieces.
It’s great for Melody and Windstones that the special pieces have been selling so well. Now that you are well into the second page (with most pieces sold), searching for the new things takes a lot of scrolling.
Thanks again for continuing to produce such lovely things.
Life is beautiful.
