Ooooh… I’d take the First pic… that’s Misty, Stormy and Phantom Wings…
how much would you take for all three? Or maybe just the mare, and the darker baby?
LMK! ^.^
HA HA!!!
Too hard to paint eh? well I guess they could be… Hmmm…
Drat… too bad!
Oh well.. curiosity satisfied! Thanks! 😀
Heyla Melody!
I’ve recently gotten onto an Okapi kick… and I was curious… since you have sculpted Meerkats… any thought to doing another African animal…. The Okapi???
They are rare… and were once considered “mythical” creatures… then known only as “short necked Giraffes”…
Just curious if the thought had ever popped into your mind… or maybe you had some sketches… 😀
Some pics of Okapis….

Oh wow… SPark… Very nice!! the dragon is yummy!!!
and I LOVE the pink nose on the Koi-Rin!! SO CUTE!!!
The scales set it off nicely… jsut the right touch! Too cool!
Not to uh…. further the madness at all… but did you see these plates?
I did a search for “Royal Orleans” and found them….
Or this?
I know I saw in the movie in my elementary school class… but it’s been a loooooong time…
I believe that it CAN be a kid’s movie… you just have to, perhaps, talk to your kids about it… they are more intelligent that you think… but honestly… if you just leave them to watch something like that alone… of course they’ll have nightmares. 😛
That lady was just a lazy parent… period end. 😛 I hate people like that.
Now that could be a cool prize… something as simple as a CM drawn Avatar!!! I like it!!
Or a Custom Signature…
I wish I was better at photoshop… I’d volunteer to do them… 😯 but I know others are better than I… 😆

Yes… it did suck about Nevada… but she’s all better now. 😀
I was only tempted to kill the boy for 24hrs… then I got over it… 😆
Good thing though… at least now he’s afraid to touch them! HA HA !!!
Who are you having fix her? how bad is it?
I might be able to… depending on who painted it and how bad it is…
Do you have pics of the damage?

Believe it or not… it’s NOT that easy to find a red votive holder that isn’t too big… or with smooth glass…
Most of the time they are too big. I’ve been looking for ages…
Thanks!
It might have been a candle without a metal thing… hum… that just might have been it…
Or the flame did get to close to the class… Hum… it’s been so long now. 😀
Thanks! I’ll email her and see if she has any! I need a felt pad for my PYO Gryphon too! 😆
Melody… I have the Gryphon candle lamp… and years ago… the candle got so hot (can’t remember how now…) that it cracked and literally destroyed the red glass votive holder.
Are replacement votive holders available from the factory? or do I have to continue my search for something similar?
Or… does anyone out there have a spare?

I don’t know…you never know how these things turn out. I had an auction go for over $200 once, and the same auction later went for just opening bid. Who knows…good luck though on yours.
I know… that’s what I keep telling myself… I have watchers… I’m just REALLY hoping that the action does take place the last day.
Funny thing is… I’m the same way… I’ll put an item on watch… then wait till the last few moments to do anything…
::shrugs:: HEre’s hoping!
I’m watching that Gryphon lamp of yours… I have one… but the cats broken (it has since been repaired) but I’d still like to have another. 😀 Especially since the red votive glass CRACKED and broke on mine. 😯
I hear ya Water…
I have my two listed on ebay… $15 above both price… Skigod is the only bidder on them so far… TONS of watchers… so far no bidders. ::Sighs::
I hope when I get my wolf done he’ll sell better… but who knows…
And I agree…if they don’t sell… oh well! more for my collection! 😀
CherylKaufman wrote:Same here, I have a lot of expensive resins by Keeling but I must say, I am leaving the hobby. It is exhausting to spend so much on something that breaks so easily.
I got a Wadi’ah model from keeling, sent her to be prepped, sent her to Australia to be painted (spending $547 altogether) and she lasted less than 24 hours before falling off my (stationary) mantle and breaking into 7 pieces. I lost interest after that since she was my first to send to be painted and I went through SO MUCH EFFORT just to cry the day after receiving her for damage I can’t fix and will cost an arm and leg TO fix. Now I just want out of the hobby altogether.
Wow… now that’s why I don’t go with Keeling’s stuff… nice… but I don’t like her stylized arabs anyway…
But I have a story for you… I have a Sarah Rose Nevada… ADORABLE little thing… and I had her painted by Deb Loveless…
Here’s my little dear…
http://www.firehorsestudio.com/dunnevada.html
It took Deb the better part of a year to get her back to me… when she finally arrived… I was in love.
The boyfriend walked in… “What did you get in the mail today?”
I was so excited I held her up for him to see… he held out his hands…
… and she JUMPED through our fingers to the floor.
I had her FIVE minutes and she fell breaking her ears and one of her legs… not that bad considering my tile floor… but still.
Honestly… most of my resins are broken… or I bought them that way. 😀 I kinda like that… saves me money… and I get better at repairing…
But I know how it can feel… It’s heart breaking when you hold a old favorite… or a new face… in pieces. 🙁
