      those are so cute! I would love to buy one & I don’t really notice the flaws.

      Have you ever tried casting with a pressure pot? Basically you need a pressure pot (you can get them offline or stores that sell them for paint) & an air compressor. You place your mold with resin inside the pressure pot and it turn on the compressor and if forces all the air bubbles out. It can be a pricy investment but it’s so worth it. And if you’re doing small sculpt you can get a smaller cheaper 1 gallon or so pressure pot.

          so glad to see you sculpting again. The concept is so cool! Love the paint job too, it’s very real looking for an alien creature (if that makes sense LOL)

            Oh she loved squeeky toys .

            Yup no squeaky toys for Koda. They sound like hurt animals 🙁 So they can actually make a prey drive stronger in a dog, also avoiding toys that look anything like birds or fuzzy animals. Koda only gets rope toys LOL don’t want him thinking the things I make are toys either LOL It was hard not to buy the cute plush dragon dog toy but then my husband pointed out he’ll then think things I make are toys because he’ll associate the two ;P

              yeah we’ve pretty much decided that when the birds are out Koda will be in his kennel. Which works out because he loves nothing more than to lay in his kennel with a good chew toy LOL. And Koda is not allowed in the bird room (yes my birds have their own room ^_^) Because I don’t want him freaking out the lovebirds & smaller birds.

              Now if I could just get my savannah cat to play with him everything would be great. But YouKai just looks at him and hisses or gets up on something so Koda can’t get to him. Funny that my cat is bigger than the puppy LOL but not for long.

                Yeah I know most dogs have a high prey drive. After doing a lot of research it seamed like females where worst than males, maybe just something I’ve noticed but I talked to a ton of husky owners before we got Koda & females seamed to always have a higher prey drive & be more protective. So one of the reasons we went with a male.

                On a side note a robin landed in the yard today right by Koda & he just looked at it & went back to what he was doing. Now no I will never have him unattended around our birds because yes I’ve heard the sad stories and even was give a bird because the last owners dogs saw in as a toy.

                With Koda so fare so good, he doesn’t even seam to care about the birds. Even our African grey flew of her perch & Koda wasn’t phased or even looked up. With that said my birds are also fully flighted so they can flay away if (and hopefully this will never happen) Koda does go toward them.

                  thanks everyone!

                  LOL yeah we read up for well over a year on the type of dog we wanted so we where aware of the huskies love for running & pulling. And their crazy shedding ^_^

                  In TX it gets very hot so Koda is an indoor dog, he only does outside to use the bathroom & play (when it’s not too hot) and is always supervised.

                  when I ran my non-profit rescue I rescues a few husky wolf hybrids and had a husky shepherd mix as a kid. But this is my first full blood husky. We either wanted a puppy or an adult from a rescue. We went with the puppy so it could be raised around our birds & not see them as prey.

                  LOL yeah the eyeliner thing ^_^ my husband said he looks like a little “goth” dog with his white face & black eyeliner & black lips LOL

                  I knew huskies where smart but wow this dog amazes me. He’s 9 weeks old & we already have him house broken, kennel trained & he knows how to sit, shake & lay down. We’re now working on leash training & rolling over 😉

                    I found five hatching empresses sold on ebay this year. Three were $70-$75, one was $149, and the most recent brought $159 (with two small chips). Three of the others were described as “perfect” and sold for less!

                    So – based on the apparent upward price trend – I am guessing you could ask about $165 for yours, but that is only a guess. Or, possibly, everybody who wanted one has found one.

                    Thanks etruscan!

                      Hmm yeah I remember when at one time Flions where going for like $500 and crazy prices LOL. So yeah I can see their price being hard to set. I think I’ll ask $100 for him + shipping & $30 + shipping on the tortoise. Oh & as always I’m open to trades.

                      The wizard is sold ^_^

                      Anyone have an idea of the value of the hatching empress in peacock? She mint with box & tag I didn’t take any pictures because she has no issues 😉

                        darn 🙁 I would really like to get about $100 for the Flion, the paint rubes look worse in the pictures lol, I don’t even really notice them. For only $45 i would rather keep him.

                        I was hopping the turtle was still worth $40ish but I guess I’ll list him on e-bay to find out.

                        Any body have an idea on the wizards price? Say one on e-bay for way too much LOL

                                  That fur would make a ton of fuzzys . Tempting . I have a small square piece only . Beautiful piece . I made fuzzies out of some . Look under fuzzies for pics .

                                  LOL yeah it would ^_^ I’m kind of at a loss as what to do with all of it. I only really needed maybe a half yard for my order so I would have had a ton left anyway. But it’s not even close to the right color 🙁 I just don’t want it stuck taking up room in my studio if I’m never going to use it LOL
