Hiya Melody! I’ve been thinking of putting together an UNOFFICIAL Windstone collectors guide with info and photos that showcases the history and evolution of the Windstone sculptures-from the old line of “real” animals to the newer Amethyst and Copper Patina schemes. I’ve been wanting an excuse to use my copy of Adobe InDesign, and I think it would be a fun project. The finished result would be a PDF people could download. As long as I credit Windstone for the photos and the sculpts, would you mind if I made something like this? Ive already started writing up the text, but Ive got 100 different projects going (Im sure you know what that’s like 😀 )so I haven’t had time to work on it as much as I’d like. Just a for-fun kind of thing.
Also a question for everyone else-especially the newer collectors-would anyone be interested in downloading a copy once its finished?
This might be a “John Question” but let’s see what Melody says!

My art: featherdust.comThis is the kind of thing that I’d love to see come out as an official publication: hardcover, full color, nice glossy paper, coffee table type book.
Has every Windstone been documented up until now?
If not, I would guess that it should be possible to obtain pictures of many of the undocumented pieces through collectors.
First of all… <3!
Second, yes this is a John question. He is doing the dishes right now so I don't want to distract him.This is the kind of thing that I’d love to see come out as an official publication: hardcover, full color, nice glossy paper, coffee table type book.

We have a huge archive of photos, and if they were all digital it wouldn’t be so…INSANELY DIFFICULT to put a book together, but probably a good half of our recorded images are “real” so getting them together is a BIG job!

We have intended to get a book together for years. Nobody has had a spare brain cell to put to it though!

That, I have no trouble believing!
It would be a lovely project though.
OOoooh! I would totally download it!! And stare at pictures for hours and hours… I’ve lost plenty of time at Ravenheart’s alone XD
Commission spots are currently closed! Please message me for details.
Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!I think there’d be a few spare brains around the forum who’d love the chance, and are very trustworthy folk.
Unfortunately at the moment I dont have the spare brain time to offer…but I’d also love to see a book available someday.
Photos from private collectors would be your best bet I think. We don’t have digital pictures of a GREAT MANY of our own sculpts, and a lot of the ones we do have are honestly not that great. Personally, as a consumer, I much prefer to see “real” pictures (pictures taken by private owners) rather than the beauty shots taken by the company.
that sounds fun. I would definitely download that. Are you thinking just production or ebay ones too? That would be daunting

Yeah, including ALL of the ebay sculpts would be a job. I’d have to find descriptions that went with them too. I was thinking of just touching on them, putting up a few pictures that I have (and some I saved from auctions)
