Two questions: Grackle, old Barn Owls

[Nightcrow]

Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).

Hey, Melody, I have a pair of questions!

First — I thought there was an old blog post or forum thread about the barn owls, specifically the one that was (made for/inspired by/promoted with/??) the Labyrinth movie, but I can’t find it; do you know where it was or could you tell me about it again? Thank you!

Second: I loved the “Grackle” color! Any chance of an OW in that color? 🙂 Preferably as something pseudo-affordable, like an LP run, rather than a single/few on Ebay, but… I love it! If you wanted to experiment, I think it would be really pretty if the colors were reversed, too — black where the green is, and vice-versa. 🙂 Or with some of the more muted tones of the Serpentine color (I loved the greens in that, but not the orangey areas) mixed with the brighter greens…

Hey, if you did a “Grackle” with white instead of black, it’d make a ROCKIN’ Christmas dragon for next year! Call it Snowy Pines or something. 🙂

I can’t find what I wrote about it , but I’ll keep looking. That was many years ago, so I don’t even remember WHERE I wrote about it! Might of been on the Yahoo Windstone forum, the forum that was around before this one.
White owl story:
During the time we were producing the Barn owl sculpture, the David Bowie movie “Labyrinth” came out. It was a fantasy about an evil wizard who could change into a white owl. A gift store customer of ours requested that I paint a few white owls for them so they could decorate a window display about the movie.
There were only six or so of these owls. I got all excited when one of these incredibly rare owls showed up on ebay.

I could paint some dragons in this color as limited edition or something. Right now, we aren’t making Old Warriors because of the pewter horn problems, but I could repaint some of the prototype ones…we haven’t done a batch of those in awhile…
