Laundry2011 was in an accident today. She was checking the mail and turned into the driveway and got t-boned/rearended by speeding car and thrown into the ditch. The passenger window shattered and flew in her face. She ended up with 22 stitches in her face and is feeling pretty crumby. Her car is totaled and now the third vehicle in as many years… she’s doing okay, but positive thoughts are appreciated.
Oh no! But she’s Ok… Whew…That’s good!

You may pick the Gothic unicorns you would like!(I am logged in as Drupaldragon. This is Melody. My home computer doesn’t remember my login password, and I don’t either)

I know this has probably been answered somewhere I’m sure but will this batch have names like the other ones? I think that is the most unique thing about them.
Yes we will name them
(Dang , I forgot I am signed in as “Drupal dragon” again. This is Melody.)This is how he looks. I wanted to put him here with the other Cougars and the blue and yellow Unis. I’m going to move him to the purple uni section.
He needs to be lit from the front. That should show the cyan color better.
Are there any colour shift paints that were painted on the llamas but not on the cougars? I would love to see more colours on the cougars if more are available! Also what about solid silver, gold or copper coloured cougars that aren’t colour shift? I used to have a silver leopard statue and it would be cool to get something that looks like metal again.
( this is melody ) Most of the llamas are painted with the same colors, but I experimented on some by airbrushing the colors on top of each other to see what would happen. Some of them are normal paint colors with color-shift hand painted on, or or sparkle paint added.
I also experimented with lightly airbrushing the color over black. The red/gold makes a nice reddish root-beer color. Looks totally different than the heavily painted red /gold, but is the same paint.
I got some samples of “silver”. It is just silver, but I could try it.Any chance green-purple will be restocked?!
I painted more gold /silver and red/ gold ones on Friday, I’ll do more of the others when I get a chance.
I wonder if there are any white or pastel color shift/duo-chrome paints out there? I’d love to see something on the lighter scale!
( This is melody) I don’t know. All the shift-colors I have here are very saturated colors.
Thanks, Melody. You have done another amazing job, these cougars are just stunning.
I can’t take credit for a new paint! I am very pleased with the way it looks on these cougars.(This is melody)

No, never heard of spaz stix! I googled it, that is a model car paint in a spray can! Neat. But it is solvent based. If you use it on PYOs it is possible it will eventually blister if this paint drys into a water-tight film. Acrylic paint “breathes” a little, so moisture doesn’t get trapped under the paint layer. This is problem with gypsum stuff if the piece is subjected to extreme humidity and temperature changes.
But maybe it will work fine! I don’t know.Hi Ms Melody!
I saw the cougar in new color shift paint you posted to FB.
Love it!
What about a baby Pegasus in this? 🙂
But I would definitely go for an Artcic or Fennec…..
(This is Melody) I did try a baby Pegasus.
This paint is very odd. I am experimenting with it on other sculptures. I painted an Oriental dragon with it and it looks … interesting. Sometimes it looks great, like on this guy, sometimes it is not so impressive. But, yes I will experiment with it!
This cougar is one of seven different color-shift cougars I have painted. The others are equally odd and beautiful.This paint looks great on most of the pebbles.
Pam took this pic.Hiya Ms.melody,Happy New Year.
1st question of the year from me:
Which sculture did you find was the most difficult one for you to work on and which one was the easiest?Hiya Ms.melody,Happy New Year.
1st question of the year from me:
Which sculture did you find was the most difficult one for you to work on and which one was the easiest?*This is Melody, from a home computer that hasn’t saved my password, so I can’t log in.*
It kinda depends on what you mean by “difficult”. Almost all the Windstone things were a lot of knuckle breaking work, carving and sanding for months and months. For a while I had a couple wonderful assistants who did a lot of the finishing work. Without Dhey’s assistance I could never of gotten the Secret Keeper finished, even so, that dragon took 2 years! So work-wise, that one was difficult!!
Harmony , Dhey and I spent long hours pecking the texture onto gargolyles. They are difficult too, even though they look easy!
Anyway, the MOST difficult sculptures are the ones that are still sitting here, unfinished, because they are being too difficult. They just won’t cooperate, so I let them be until we get together on what they want to turn out as… This sounds crazy, but it sure seems like the sculpture and I are partners, working together.
That hippocampus was originally a mermaid. She had a bad case of the uglies as a person but ended up happy, as a merhorse .
The easiest dragon was the Old Warrior. After I realized he simply was NOT going to be an “Empress dragon” he just fell into place exactly right.The easiest one of all was the gargoyle egg with eyes. Cast a rock, stick eyes in it, done!
Thank you for the thought provoking question! I hadn’t really thought about it.
