drag0nfeathers, you know I love your collection so very, very much. You have many incredible pieces. Thank you so much for sharing your photos! ❤❤
I am much too lazy to take them out of their cases….. so I apologize in advance for the glare. 😢
I’ll chime in! I’m never around anymore, but pitting my grail out there: Barn Swallow Lap dragon!!
I was fortunate enough to collect the rest of the family. …. but this amazing piece has hid from me for years. 😂
I finished mama Pegasus already and also sweet baby laying and I also did … baby hatching Pegasus and she makes a complete family! Their muscles and curves help make Cedar Wood colors stand out great. I wanted to keep this male because he looks so majestic!
This! So this! The color gives me new appreciation for the musculature in Melody’s sculpts! :love: :love:
Love this thread so much! ! ♡♡♡♡♡
I owe a huge “Thank You” to the forum for this next picture. …a new grail piece just came to his forever home due to the generosity of the members here. Thank you!
:love: :love: :love: :love:
If I try to shop in the store by category (by picture or by drop down menu) I get a fatal error screen. Can anyone else not shop the store?
I’m on an android phone, but not had previous problems.
I feel like I broke the forum (though I am not the writer of this email). I truly apologize to the community as a whole for any strife and division caused by any postings I have made.
For years I have really relished my time here and the friends I have made. My family and friends don’t have the love for dragons that I do…and are quite verbal about telling me I don’t need to spend $Xxx on a dragon “when I have three just like it”. When that gets me down, I can post here and be comforted by others that understand. I would hate to lose our community.
When I joined the forum it wasn’t magically perfect, but on the whole very welcoming, inviting, and non-judgmental. I was a frequent poster, and even ran the eBay thread for a time. Slowly, though, I started to see a change in nature and tone of posts, though, and some things even got my blood boiling, really. Thankfully, I typed long, scathing replies (just to get it out) and never actually posted them.
I decided to step back from the forum, and for a few years now I’ve been more of a lurker than a regular poster. From what I can tell by who is online, a lot of others I know choose to do this nowadays as well, but I can’t speak to the reasons.
As to a solution…..I really don’t know. Anytime there is a large group of people (and a large amount of money) involved….there will be conflict whether by personality clash, misunderstandings (or inability to communicate), or fraud and deception of some sort.
I think a moderator list is a great idea (who to contact if problems arise). I know I certainly would have handled things differently and would have went that route to begin with if I had known who to contact.
I noticed there is a “flag” choice on some posts…..is this similar to “reporting” a post on FB? I hate the idea of a community policing each other, though, that is not a happy playground. Plus, it sounds like a nightmare for the moderators.
Policing ourselves is always the best answer, so perhaps with such a huge general forum sense of unrest and unease we can go forward from here and make responsible, ethical posts that will foster a feeling of love and community.
I wish I had an answer, but I just wanted to pay my two cents.
I know I messed up by taking my grievance public, and I’m very sorry for that.
Hmmm, just saw this thread. My husband had been in the culture since he was a young child. He is running for vice president of his car club, Los Punk Rods, here in KCMO. Their club puts on a huge show every year on labor day weekend called Greaserama. The last five years or so it had started to attract national attention in all the car mags.
We have a 1960 Studebaker Lark wagon, 1957 Chevy pick up, 1947 Chevy sedan, and a fiberglass 1941 Willy’s gasser.
I redid my cabinet. 😊
