Nobody ever buys them for me.

I know sometimes you feel like this:
Or like this:
But hopefully your birthday is like this (painting, lots of people around) or just relaxing:
And here is hoping that there is a bonfire on your cake:
Thank you so much! Love the pics,(um.. except maybe the eyelid one..ewww…)Arlla wrote:That brings up a good question – how limited are these? Once these are sold, will they be revisited, or will you just be working on new batches in different colors?
I don’t know what I’m doing..I had no idea I was going to sell Poadsâ„¢ at all! But I am not doing these as numbered limited editions; not the butternut ones, anyway. Now that I’ve started to paint them , I want to do LOTS of colors. I will need to restrain myself.
phoenixrider wrote:Hey, Melody. I know you are going to retire the orientals some time soon, and i know that a lot of people like them, so maybe as a future project you could do a PYO oriental dragon like you did the PYO kirin. Just my two cents.
Smooth scales are hard to paint! I have so many pyos I’d love to do. I’ll do one when I get a chance!

Griffiness wrote:How often do you sculpt new pieces Melody? and how long does it take you?
Normally I am always sculpting things, often working on five or so at a time. Right now, however, I’m not working on anything. The winged wolf is 3/4 finished, and I’ve got lot of other things in the works, but I’ve been spending all my time painting pieces lately.
It takes a full year from the time I start a medium sized dragon, until it is in production, but since I usually work on many things at once, it is hard to figure how many hours each one takes.I will be working on one sculpture, while a mold is being made on another.
Dragons take the longest. Feathered things take a LONG time too. Short furred things take less time, gargoyles are usually the quickest.Arlla wrote:LOL! I WANT to want lavendar…I know first hand how lovely the lavendar eyes are…but this color just seems to want the hazel eyes in my opinion. I’m only getting one butternut, and I asked for a hazel eyed one.
Has anyone heard back about their preorders? I havn’t heard anything…Susie said she will get to these on Monday. We are closed over the weekend.

I know , I’m not getting anywhere on the club issue..We talk about it a lot, but nobody here has the time to even work out the details,and I just don’t have time to deal with it myself… anyway we are a club for all practical purposes, right? Still, I would like to have an OFFICIAL club.

Hmm…the lavender also looked like a light gray on my monitor…
I wonder if the lavender eyes for the poads are actually the same color as ones on the Keeper PYO dragon that Arlla showed in this thread:
In that picture the lavender eyes look like a very, very light purple, though in the other pictures in that thread the eyes looked sort of gray. I guess lavender eyes are just hard to photograph accurately.Yes, same eyes. They do look like that.. kind of a greyish liver color.Not really bad looking, just not bright lavender.

They might go for less. Melody said in this thread that they might go for ~$600:
Melody wrote:I believe the Secret Keepers are going to retail for around $600.However this price isn’t firm until we paint a regular batch to see what our costs are. So far I’ve painted them all myself, and I am very slow, and inefficient.
We plan to issue them in most of the colors we have painted the other dragons in.The “rare” colors, like old brown and white, we will do as “Limited production” batches.Limited production means that we won’t have alot of these colored dragons around;we will only paint small batches from time to timeDon’t hold me to that! I am not sure what we would have to charge for production ones!

email Susie at the the “service” email and change your order.
mimitrek wrote:Melody wrote:Watergazer wrote:Is each poad going to be painted differently then? Each being OOAK? Or are you going to select different color runs and mass produce them?
I going to do batches of different colors. Not ooaks now, at least.
Have you decided how many different color schemes that you’re going to do?
How many “natural” color schemes and how many “metallic”? nope. I have no idea.

AURGH!! I give up, I just can’t get the images off of the camera onto my stupid computer, here at the factory. It just doesn’t wanna work. I will post the three differnt eye colors of Poadsâ„¢ tonight when I get home.
