I will now think out loud: If they were so great that we could sell them through the site as authorized re-cycled/re-painted Windstones it would be fun and solve the problem but they are not all going to be up to the same quality standard and we and the painter would have to make a profit on them. That probably wouldn’t work with the amount of time that goes into the painting and it would limit the painting to select painters. Might hurt some feelings of those who felt they should be included and weren’t. Your comments are welcome.
OMGOSH!!! I would Love the chance to be able to do this!!!!
This would be a dream come true!I could hug and kiss you!

I think a definitive answer is a good idea!
There is a gray area here. I repair Windstones and repaint some.
I try as hard as I can to be respectful to Windstone the their Trade Address,
I ALWAYS mark the bottom of the felt pad, as well as the gypsum under the pad…and in some cases I remove the pad all together and replace it with a generic pad and I write repaint on that so they wont be mistaken for ANYTHING Windstone has painted.It is very frustrating tring to come up with color combos that wont infringe on someone else’s work.. between all of Windstones paint schemes and all the talented people here.. it would be nice to have a difinitive answer where the line is drawn.
One thing that REALLY rubbed me the wrong way was, I posted a picture of a pyo keeper… and a few days later I got a PM from Jennifer telling me that this dragon’s coloring and where I placed his accents went against WS’s trade address. and I know Jennifer was only doing her Job and was given the task of sending that PM… In a nutshell I was devastated… and my feelings really got hurt! I was so upset, I wanted to sell my entire collection and be done with Windstone! I tried so hard to make something that was not WS like but thats not an easy thing… and with exception of the gold accents and where they are placed… I dont feel colors should be protected.
The only thing that got accomplished by sending me that pm was I just dont post my Pyo’s and I only share photos of my repaints with friends…. and thats not right! I think haveing a thread where repaints can be shared and documented is a great idea!
People are going to paint sculptures no matter what, it would be refreshing having a place where it was embraced!
I hope I have not offended anyone.. I dont think I have said anything that hasn’t already been said.
I think its really good to get all this out on the tableKalandra
Im about 2 hours from that area… I called the shop and they have a griffin Mother, Not sure which one… they have a Male dragon that the sales person called blue, periwinkle, and emerald (Im guessing a Emerald Peacock)
and they have a Red young.. which may be a ruby.
and lastly a big wizard. They said they can ship.Kalandra

I was not sure if I should start a new thread asking this, but I’ll try here first.
Melody, Will there be a picture taken of the young grab bag unicorns and then posted to the blog like the baby unicorns?
Thank you,
