Hello everybody. I have loved the Windstone creations and the art of Ms.Pena, for many, many years :-). But it never occured to me that there could be a forum like this. I have been unable to stop looking at everything on the Windstone website and pouring over everything there is to read.
A quick bit about my history (as it relates here); I don’t remember exactly what year I was when I first saw those amazing dragons (and simply HAD to have them!) But I would guess mid eighties. I remember seeing the gorgeous green Male Dragon in Travelog (a store in Sarasota). I started saving every penny. I was one little kid who was always welcomed into that shop of very fragile things, cause I was always there to admire, appreciate, and when I could, buy.
So I’ve got a very meager collection compared to most of you. THey are well-loved, and among my very most precious possetions. I’m afraid that nearly all of them have their damage, but I wouldn’t trade them for the world! (It’s fantastic that there is so much info here on repair!)
Looking at all the new colors and critters, I can’t even find any of mine (colors anyway LOL). And I suddenly feel that old familiar obsession creeping up on me…
My dragons are these guys, a brown Young, a brown Male, a green Male, a color I can’t exactly find Emperor, and another color I don’t see exactly Scratching.
I also, sadly, have a badly injured white Male Pegasus. He is in pieces, has been for a few years evr since my falcon had a temper tantrum all over him :-(. But I could nevr feel confident enough to try to repair him, and I certainly couldn’t throw him away!
The other very precious piece of art I have that I feel like I must mention is the most gorgeous black and white print I have had for probably 20 years easy, that is by Ms.Pena. I have loved it ever since I first laid eyes on it. I don’t know what it’s called. I have searched the internet high and low and I have nevr been able to find it, or anything about it. It has a Pegasus, with a rider, and a falcon. I LOVE IT!!! I would love it if someone could help me learn more about it :-).
Okay, I need to get back to reading here!Welcome! If you can, do post pics – we might be able to help you nail the color on your emperor.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

I host the feedback lists, which are maintained by drag0nfeathers.
http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmThank you!
I will definitely try and post pics, but I am very bad at that kind of thing.
I know I can post them on my fb page, and set them to public so anyone can see them. I used to do that on my goat forum before they updated their forum, I could post a link right to the pic in my posts. But I don’t know if that would be frowned upon here. I can certainly give everybody interested my fb name LOL.
Another question about pics; what type of light is best to use? Should I wait till mid-day and get pics in the natural sunlight? (I happen to think that sunlight looks lovely on them)You can also check out the “Windstone Identification” thread. It’s in the General Windstone section of the forum.

OKay, cool! My Scratching Dragon is a Jade! I am quite sure now. There was a thread that had fantastic pics of both Emerald and Jade Scratching Dragons. And besides him being a very similar color overall, he has the gold markings of a Jade. This is really quite fun :-).
My Scratching guy is the youngest of my collection, but he’s easilly over 20 years old.You are very welcome! I’m glad you got some information. I’m sure now that you have found us that you collection will grow exponentially. 🙂

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Windstone….and all of crazy collectors welcome you. 🙂 Trust me,you are not alone……hahahaha :p
Every act matters.No matter how small💞
(Wanted......Toaster Dragon)
Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.You are very welcome! I’m glad you got some information. I’m sure now that you have found us that you collection will grow exponentially. 🙂
I am afraid that you are very likely right. I never even imagined all the color varaition I see, nevermind all the new dragons etc…
I can’t even tell you how cool I think it is that the same, original people are still doing this! It’s just incredible!
I think I’m going to attempt to put Humpty-Dumpty back together again, to the best of my ability, today. He’s been broken for SO long! Over ten years, I think. I know some of the pieces aren’t still with us. But after reading an excellent thread on repairing a Dragon, I feel inspired 🙂You are very welcome! I’m glad you got some information. I’m sure now that you have found us that you collection will grow exponentially. 🙂

Drag0nfeathers does awesome work and it’s her repair thread you read.
Good luck and welcome to the forum. 🙂

Welcome, nice to meet you! 😀
Check out my finished artwork at http://falcolf.deviantart.com/ and my sketch/studio blog at http://rosannapbrost.tumblr.com/
Excellent!
I have to say that I think it’s rather disfunctionally sweet, the way you guys are so supportively welcomeing me into my impending poverty LOL. 🙂
Is there a support group? LOL (cause I’m gonna need it!)
I’m sorry I didn’t reply earlier, but I’m afraid that my computer desk is currently covered in dragons.After looking at all the amazing pics here, I have been looking over my babies with a very critical eye. And after reading a few repair threads I went to work on my poor Peg. I can proudly say that he’s standing on his own again. It’ll still be a while before he can fly though. I took some before and after pics. I’ll post them on fb in a bit.
Assuming I’m going to be far too inept to manage to post the pics here, I cordially invite anybody who is interested to check out my fb page. My name is Meridith Manning and my avatar is a pic of me on my black horse, Pasha, holding my first ever red-tailed hawk, Dawn. Sadly both of those friends have passed away now, but I’m the nostalgic type :-).
Anyway, I’ve been going over my dragons like a crazy woman, fretting over evry scar.
Thank you all so much for the warm welcome!
