Count me in for a squeak on these. ^_^
I know all about panic/anxiety attacks but in my case, my trigger point isn’t to do with hypochondria. I tried meds but they didn’t last very long and I didn’t like them “masking” my feelings anyway so I just coped on my own and spent most of my teen years trying to make sense of things. I can’t really offer any decent advice but I was lucky enough to sometimes be able to remove myself physically and emotionally from situations that caused panic attacks. When I was forced to be in that situation though, it was terrible. They still sometimes jump up on me by surprise but I think I’ve probably got my own coping tactics I’ve developed over the years. I was told I hide away too much though which is definitely one of my coping strategies for not running into situations that give me anxiety but right now I feel safer like that. ^_^ So I’m probably no help but I know what you’re going through anyhow.
I’d love to see a limited production run on these with similar colours for the wings too. ^_^ The silver/lilac is beautiful.

That would solve the eye debate. ^_^ Or perhaps they could be available in both eye-colours to keep us all happy lol! I’m rooting for purple though. *Crosses fingers*
Try to show inexperienced sellers that link with pictures on how to double-box safely.

I wish they did cough syrup like that here. XD I was coughing for two weeks straight and couldn’t sleep properly even with sleeping tablets. I’ve had the flu for just over 3 weeks now but the doctor doesn’t want to test me for swine flu so I may have it. I reckon there are many more cases of swine flu around the world than reported purely because doctors don’t want to add to government statistics and cause some kind of scare. Glad Melody and everyone is better though. ^_^

It would need to be a simpler pattern that the production painters can do.This will be in the future when we are casting enough pieces! Right now we are struggling to replenish our normal stock of items such as candle lamps.
Ooh if you find a simpler Bengal pattern, will it be doable on the Flap Cats, do you think? Maybe even those small Flap Cats too. 🙂

For those that are really worried about sunlight and UV exposure from their outside windows and/or display cabinet lighting, I’d look into UV filters. They are either films that can be applied to glass panes, or plastic sleeves that slip over light bulbs. They’ll need to be replaced occasionally, but do a world of good for displaying sensitive materials.
Thanks for the tip, I’ve just bought a sheet of UV protective film from the ‘bay. The nearest window to the Fledgling is a roof window (like a few metres away) but like I said he’s no where near in direct sunlight. I guess just the UV coming through from normal daylight was enough to fade him.
Jennifer wrote:I am so sorry it faded on you. As others have said, red (and pink) pigments are especially prone to fading. Was he near a bright window or under any flourescent lights? It’s the UV in sunlight/artifical light that causes fading as it breaks down the pigments. UV can be ‘bounced’ from a strong light source even if it’s not direct.
I’m sad that he faded for you. If you want I can fix him up for you, if you can help me cover shipping costs!
The pigment I used on him is actually made for automotive use and was rated to be lightfast and archival. 🙁 So I am doubly sorry it happened.
I don’t have any bright lights and the window he’s nearest isn’t that close as such (he doesn’t get direct sunlight on him at least) but I guess just that small amount of daylight coming through must have done something. 🙁
If you could fix him for me Jen I’d really appreciate it. 🙂 And I’ll keep him in his new dark corner from then on lol. I can pay for shipping both ways and maybe a bit extra for your time and all. If you can PM me with details I’d appreciate it. He needs to get his pink back. 🙂

I’ve just taken a picture of my touched-up Orchid Shell Fledge. I think Jennifer did a great job on it. ^_^ Thanks again!

I bought Jen’s Orchid Shell Fledgling on Ebay that time and it just occurred to me today – didn’t it used to look more pink?
I don’t even keep it in direct sunlight so I’m confused as to how it faded so fast. It’s been beside my Pink Lap Dragon too and that one looks fine. Maybe the pink paint was just extra sensitive and I should keep the Fledgling in a dark corner from now on but it looks like the damage has been done.
Just a warning to others who buy special hand-painted pieces I guess. 🙂 I’m keeping Crispin the frog in a dark corner too as he’s specially painted and I wouldn’t want him to fade too.
