Ok so anyone else who is interested- the current highest offer is $50, I’ll stop taking any offers on Monday.
My husband really likes the Windstone pieces. Hes been drooling all over the black gold Scratcher I just got a few days ago. There have even been times where I thought about selling a particular Windstone piece and he will talk me out of it because he likes them so much. And I showed him one of the new Red Fire dragons and he loved it, he wants to get one.
He collects diecast car models, so he knows what the addiction feels like and appreciates the detail in Windstone’s work- and if I’m having a hard time convincing him to get a piece, I just have to mention the appreciation value and that usually does it lol. He thinks they are good investments.EDIT: SOLD
I have an old peacock hatching Emperor dragon that was banged up in an accident. I bought him when I was a teenager- hes my oldest Windstone piece. One day years and years ago, my sister knocked him off of the shelf I had him on and his top jaw/nose broke off.
He was never formally repaired- somehow his nose is holding to his face with just water, because I dont know what kind of glue to use to fix him and wouldnt want to hamper the process for anyone else.
His nose will need to be glued back on (I doubt it will stay on his face in transit) and some chips painted/repaired over around the mouth where it broke off.
The jewel on his forehead fell off too about the same time as the accident, and a small blue jewel was glued in its place. He also has 2 small paint chips on the round flare next to his ear and an imperfection in the egg shell- I cant tell if its something that happened to it in its fall or just in the paint.
He still has his tag, but its a little beat up, as you can see in the photos.
But for someone who could repair this small imperfections, he would be a good find, as he is still quite beautiful- hence why I’ve kept him all these years. I want to see if anyone would be interested in buying him/taking him in as a project since he is a hard to find piece. If you are interested, let me know through a PM or on this thread, and let me know how much you would be willing to pay for him- since with his damage, I am not sure how much to ask for.
EDIT: The current highest offer is $50 so anyone else who is interested will have to go more than that.If anyone finds out whether the lap dragon will be a production piece or not I would love to know- I wont be able to afford it if its just a special ebay only piece.
I would *love* a lap dragon in that color. At the risk of sounding silly- this will be a production color, right? I need to know if I should start saving for that lap dragon or not. 🙂

VB, your griffin family is missing one of its offspring… 😛I know, its killing me lol. I have been checking the windstone online store and ebay at least twice a day (lol) so I can get it when it comes back in stock.
I have always loved Windstone Editions pieces, ever since I was a very young teenager, but I seem to have been bitten by the bug particularly hard this time. The thought of getting a small part time job even crossed my mind to help pay for all this haha.

*hangs head in shame* Yes hahaha. I bought him last year with the plans to learn to paint sculptures and when I did, to paint him like one of my favorite moths, but I never got around to it.
I’ve been thinking about commissioning someone to paint him for me.twindragonsmum wrote:Not yet… I need to find a good spot in the house to photo them in.

Yeah I should’ve taken mine out of the cabinet to photograph them because the light was really bad, but I couldnt wait to show off my new scratcher lol. Good luck unpacking!

Good Luck! 😉
Yeah I did notice that lol I’ll have to save those other threads for those nights when I cant sleep haha.

twindragonsmum
Thanks 🙂 I’ve been collecting them since I was about 14-15 though. Do you have any pictures of yours in this thread? (I cant go through all 50 pages right now lol)
Heres my humble collection so far;
I *just* got the black gold scratching dragon in the mail an hour ago. 😀

Yeah just make sure she knows its next to impossible to get out without damaging your hair, before she does it. I like my hair black, so its not a big deal for me, but there are times where I’d like a change but cant do it. And I actually thought about shaving my head and letting it all grow out, but I dont think I could face myself at night/let my husband look at me when the wig would come off.
And I love red hair- natural or not. That would be my next choice after black.Blackdesertwind wrote:Cool picture. You guys make a great couple. Deadly… 😆
Thank you 😆 we have been married for almost 3 years now- the pictures were taking the day before he popped the question.
lamortefille wrote:Great pix, VB…you have beautiful eyes.
Thanks- thats very sweet of you. 🙂
I know I havn’t posted a whole lot yet, but I plan on sticking around, so I thought I should give a face to the name for you guys.
Heres a picture of my husband and I- its a little old, but still;
Its a little strange looking at this one now because you cant even tell my ears are pierced in that one, but now the holes in my ears have been stretched to a size 00 lol.And heres a recent picture of me, taken about a week or two ago;

VB, is your avatar a picture of you and Fluffy? Love the pink hair!
I like the name too (obviously). It would be obnoxious to me if it weren’t something ironic.
And I wish that was me with Fluffy in that picture haha. But that is the exact kind of snake that fluffy is- snow albino cornsnake. And I would love to have pink hair, but I cant since I’ve dyed my hair black for so long, Id have to strip out all of the color (a very long, risky process- especially for naturally curly hair) to be able to dye it anything else.
I just posted a picture of myself in the photo thread at the top of the page for clarification. 🙂
