ParticipantThis is a COOL Effect! I have a Rooster PYO that I wanted to do differently. Would anyone know how I need to compare sizes of these flat-back Swarovski crystals to the 4mm eye size? Is there a conversion table somewhere I can use? Might want to look into using these for other PYOs as well. Looks Great LisaZ!
Yes, there is a table online. Many, in fact. I did a google search using this string of terms:
swarovski crystal sizes in mm
and got a lot of results.
The reason I only showed the one side with the crystal eye is because I couldn’t fit a 40ss into the other socket. The next size down I have in crystals is 34ss, which is considerably smaller.
Also, not every color is available in every size. The bigger the crystal, the fewer color choices there are.
34ss in the PYO dragon, way too small.
A jonquil pair in the PYO Griffin, just right.
I tried to put 30ss in the unicorn, didn’t fit, barely. My next size down were 20ss, which was far too small.

ParticipantSo, I know you’re probably tired of poads, but I would like to squeak for some baby poads to match the “production” store ones, like the zeppards, or the peach young one, or even like the podge ones on the kickstarter. Just some baby poads in “natural” colors and maybe not too fancy?
Forever seeking an Old Green Fledge.

ParticipantMay I still squeak? (I should have looked at this earlier. My apologies).

ParticipantI was daydreaming last night, this is unlikely to the point of impossible (would require using different media), but wouldn’t Windstone Christmas ornaments be great?

If you can do mugs, and clocks, and T-shirts, and other stuff in the Windstone CafePress store, presumably Christmas ornaments wouldn’t be a stretch. Other sellers offer them. For example:

ParticipantI was thinking 3D figures, not 2D images on ornaments or plaques (though those would be neat too). Imagine a flight of little dragons and griffins swooping around your tree! And a Poad Angel on top. Not to forget the Heraldic Air Carp, but you could make those with toy model fish currently available. I know I’ve seen koi models.

If we only could make them light and surdy enough! Our gypsum material is not either of those things, unfortunately.
I have some plastic kois that I hang around. I think I got them from Archie Mcfee. I just noticed that Safari has a koi figure!

ParticipantFor a hangable ornament idea, how about: little mini-pebbles! Even just in solid or color-shift paint jobs. Nesting in some sort of holder – a classic bird-style nest suspended by strings, an acrylic bubble, a wire frame or birdcage… My favorite is the open-sided glass domes.
Heck with being seasonal decorations, I adore hanging baubles and can find plenty of places to tuck a Windstone version!
Continuing the family tradition of being obsessed with shiny things.

ParticipantThat might be cool to have baubles or ornaments with printed Windstone images on them like the buttons from the kickstarter. I feel like breakable ornaments with small pebbles or even like mini poads would be cute but at the same time risky for those of us with animals who like to knock stuff off trees. I can’t use any breakable ornaments personally.
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!

ParticipantPipslxch, what a BRILLIANT idea; a Poad Angel tree-topper for Christmas !!
I can picture her with a halo and wings

ParticipantThe solution is that someone mass produces curio cabinets shaped like Xmas tress.

ParticipantHi, Melody
Is there any chance you’ll paint Baby Podge Poads?
I’ve been managing Poad family inventory here at the mini bean nursery and would love to add a couple of Podge babies to my collection .
Thanks for considering. Maybe others here might like them, too.

Lol where there’s a will there’s a way! Good Yankee ingenuity.
Will there be more colors released on the Hearth dragon? Either existing schemes or test paint/ unique ones like Sandgrouse was.
