          Still working on the castle, Toaster had more issues to sort out so I am now working a next-to-final master! I don’t give ETAs for this reason! Lots’a speed bumps with these things.

              Hey Ms.Melody,I have wondered this for awhile now so thought I might pick your brain.
              Y’all made and sold many prints,did you sign a lot of them?
              Did you sign and keep the lithographs?
              I have #1100 Mother Unicorn with Babies with your hand signature on it in pencil.Any chance it could be a lithograph?🤞😁
              Thanks for taking the time.

              That’s a real signature! I didn’t sign many of them at all.

              These prints are done with offset lithography. The black and white ones were done on an antique lithograph press, usually while John and I watched and did press checks! But unlike true lithography, these were printed with plates that were created photographically from a negative.
              We still have the original art, but no plates.
              Did you get that one directly from us?

                Toaster is having a final “master” mold made on him now. I should get a final test-paint casting by next week ( today is July 5 ). So he only needs a final going over for problems, and then we will have production molds made.
                Getting there!

                The PYO castle is in the works. Marco, our mold maker, is trying different ways to cast the window openings.

                  Gypsum is what drywall is made of, so whatever normal household temps and humidity drywall can take, our dragons should be able to handle it also.
                  We use acrylic paint which doesn’t form a vapor barrier. This allows the gypsum to breathe and adjust to humidity without forming blisters under the paint.
                  Very high temps will affect the adhesive on the pads though! It makes it get soft and gooey.

                  Important note: Do not store Windstones directly in bubble wrap! It will affect the paint. Use the polypropylene bags they came in or wrap ’em in soft unprinted paper.

                  We once had a dragon returned to us because it had become discolored. We examined the dragon to figure out what happened, and found a pond snail on it! Turns out the owner had been using it as an aquarium decoration… so THAT much humidity may damage the paint!

                  Does anyone have bad experiences with high humidity and Windstones?

                    I always personally contact the winner by email and wait for a response. I post the winner’s forum name in this thread, so they can see it isn’t a scam!
                    I make sure that whoever wins the monthly raffle knows about it.

                    A warning though… our extra “special raffles” attract scammers who will email you saying “YOU WON!” If the email isn’t from Windstone Editions, and not announced on this forum, it’s a trap!
                    We will never ask a winner for money, or any personal info other than your name and shipping address!

                      Gosh, if Etruscan doesn’t know, nobody does! I don’t remember.
                      I have one sitting red fox, so they do exist! I can ask Susie.

                          Oof poor pony. Who was the casualty?

                          I thought the class photop was 257. Are some set to the side for ebay then?

                          Just curious as one who likes to check off the class as they show up.

                          Every time I count these I get a different number. I don’t think any got set aside this time.
                          The one that hit the floor was a tan tiger with a gold horn, blue flowers, and silver eyes.
                          I posted a pic of him in the comments above. He’s patched up now,

                            So how many total were painted for this grab bag and did all the spots sell?

                            Yes, all spots sold quickly. There were 250 of them until one got dropped, so 249.

                            Oh that is SO sad. 🙁 RIP little one

                            Oh, he is fine. I glued him back together, now he’s in my glass cabinet. This is my collection of casualties.

                                I wandered through the storage building yesterday and took a quick look around. Some of the discontinued molds are stored there but I didn’t see any of the old animal molds.

                                a video would be interesting! and I think a day in the storage unit would be worth it if not several if that’s what it takes to go through things!

                                a quick look? well if it’s a big space, I’m sure there’s lots of places they could be hiding in there! it would be worth it at the very least just to get things organized and of course getting them all out to make again! squeak squeak squeak!

                                Oh, it is a VERY organized storage building.
