So I emailed Melody wondering if I would be of any help in becoming an airbrush painter to fight back the oodles and oodles of unpainted production sculptures, seen as I live not too far from Corvallis, and her and John invited me to come down and try it out! I didn’t take a lot of pictures because it was mostly boxes, boxes, and MORE boxes everywhere and all the windstones I did see were already published online (except for the purple orientals, but they were hiding under plastic). It turned out I wasn’t the right person for mass production, but it was still an incredible honor to be surrounded with so much inspiration!
So here is the painting and Ebay department! For all the PYO squeakers, the casting is still being perfected and a lot of casts had to be sacrificed so there are a few sitting on carts ready, but not enough to put into the stores, but I bet they will be back in stock by the end of May! The keeper still needs a mold to be made, but their mold maker, Jane, is hard at work! Quite a bit of stone finish sculptures like the cats and the wolf council lamps are the first ready to be restocked.
I’d also like to recognize Suzie, who most of you have contacted regarding orders I’m sure, as a super gal. She’s working just as hard as Melody being secretary and shipper of all orders and is a really great person. So next time you’re mad at something that went wrong with a windstone order and you go to vent it on the person who’s answering the phone I’ll be sharpening my talons to come get you 👿

This is what I painted testing out air brushing for the first time. This is with flash for color accuracy.And this is without flash.

These are the paint booths. Mold making is right behind them.http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4/6298/windstonefactory025.jpg

Corvallis is a super nice small town too (graded the safest town in the USA I think). There are more trees than buildings! I suggest though to wait a year until the factory is organized some more and there’ll be new stuff to take pictures of! lol Melody and John are super super hosts too; my mom and I kept chatting with them till past midnight the whole three days we were there!
Links are fixed; I accidentally hit the submit instead of preview to double check everything 😳
So does the fact that you were painting a grand unicorn hint at a future color? Or was he just a fun test piece? I think he looks great! Thanks for posting the pics! 😀
What an awesome experience, Nuke! Great pics to. Nam’s Lap dragon is sooo pretty, and I noticed a ton of colored kitties. I would love to snag a colored trio of cats candle votive and/or colored Cat’s Cradle 😀 !

*shrug* It was just a test piece, but Melody said it was really pretty so she might incorporate the idea for her own test paints later.
Those owls on the cart are hilarious! It’s like they all spotted the next mouse to be eaten.
Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. Too bad it didn’t turn out for you for the painting 🙁
