they say it’s an emerald but it really looks like there’s blue there to me…which makes me think emerald peacock but the eyes and stones are wrong for that one…are my eyes deceiving me or did someone switch out some eyes and stones?
I’m sure the affect is caused by the flash on the person’s camera. The eyes and gems should be a deep red and they look washed out, especially the eyes, which look more deep orange than the deeper red. Artificial lighting will also affect the final color of the subject.
When I take photos of any items I want to post, I try to photograph my subjects in natural light if I can, I keep my flash off, and then work with the exposure and brightness/contrast settings in PhotoShop on my image for this very reason. I found that doing this offsets any color or ‘bleaching’ issues the flash could give the subject by adjusting the settings to bring the picture of my item closer to it’s more realistic colors.

I’m in the SAME Situation! The new Watermelon Test Color Scheme is also so Cool (Pun intended!), and those are starting to be listed on eBay as well.I think I may be in trouble because there is One dragon mold I simply Adore and it might be posted on eBay soon in this test paint.
I better start saving now…. 🙂

*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comAddicted is right! Others warned me…
I discovered Windstones 7 weeks ago and already I’ve gotten 10, and am considering two more. I have 4 PYO’s to do and am thinking of ordering three others in the next couple of months to hopefully paint as gifts for friends … unfortunately I may need to stop soon because I really don’t have the space to display them.
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Windstones! 🙂

*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comHey there, Mariem! You got an amazing deal on your Peacock Mother and in such great shape.
I also just started my Windstone collection (in late June 2013) with a Mother Dragon! She’s a very nice older Brown that I won on eBay for $51 USD and I love her! She may have a small chip or rubbed off paint spot here or there, but nothing too noticeable.
Everyone is correct about finding some great deals on eBay, do a search for ‘Windstone’ and you’ll be amazed. There are several, and I did see a few advertised from Canada sellers.
Welcome! 😀

A swap sounds like a really interesting idea. i’ve gotten some PYO’s, but haven’t painted one yet to know what it’s like to do one. I have painted ceramic figurines, so I’m sure I can pick it up easily. I’ll see what everyone comes up with regarding the theme, piece to paint, and time frame, before I can commit.
Hope that’s okay.

I’m Envious of All of you! Not because of the number of Windstones, but because of the Space you must have to display them all!That may be the only factor of why I need to keep my collection to no more than a dozen or so pieces…. I also hope to win one of the special eBay test paint pieces some day.
Happy Collecting Everyone! 🙂IN SEARCH OF MY NEXT GRAILS:
