So the were actually mare produced and sold without the necklace???
I’d love to see one, I don’t think I ever have, at least on ebay… Yes, they were both produced for a short period. I’ve seen several babies without the necklace on ebay, but I’ve only seen one mare that was without one.

I am planning more stuff.
I just got John to photo the Autumn Leaf Secret Keeper I just painted, I was going to put it on something.
And I’ve got some poadâ„¢ stuff too.
What else does any one want? No obligation to buy it, of course.I just need some suggestions.
Calendar, yes.dragonessjade wrote:How many people at the factory that work there get paid in Windstones or get something special?
Nobody gets paid in Windstones! But at Christmas they get to choose some pieces to take. Painters sometimes custom paint ones for themselves, too.
Working around here is kinda like working in a chocolate factory, you do get your fill after about twenty years. (I was amazed when Karen asked if she could have a Tabby flapcat for Christmas! “YOU want one?? You’ve got to be kidding!”)emerald212 wrote:Okay. How about this?

starbreeze wrote:Hi Melody,
I was wondering at what point a necklace was added to the baby pegasus? I have one in the old style with no necklace that I received as a gift a long time ago. Was there any particular reason why you decided to add the necklace? If this topic has already been covered in another thread, would someone please direct me to it? 😀
I don’t think anyone has talked about that topic on here. I added the necklace to the mare and baby pegasus because we decided they were too boring without them. The unicorns and almost everything else had a necklace, so we felt they should too. The male peg was good enough without, and the hatchling wouldn’t have purchased one for himself yet.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 don’t know what I’m doing…I’m gonna do like I always do; paint tons of them, select a few colors (like five) to do batches of, as “production bin’s” (or direct sale) and then maybe have the others as auctioned ooaks. I’ve got all of you to help choose colors… help!!

eBay is weird. I just thought you’d like to know. x.xThanks! John’s dealing with it.

I was at a Jewel or Dominicks store and some kid had a temporary Windstone art tattoo. I asked the mom about it and she said she bought them years ago and that she only just found them in her stuff so gave them to her son. They were someone’s drawings of the Father Dragon…peacock colors…and VERY well done. Perfect replications in 2D form of the 3D sculpture. Did Windstone sanction temporary tattoos at any time during its career? Based on the image it was a very well-executed piece of art.
Oh, and the woman also said it was in a pack of all-dragon tattoos like that, including one standing up she had seen once in a store…so probably the Emperor dragon I’m guessing, since it seems like Windstone’s signature piece. HMMM.. no we never licensed anyone to do that. Arrest the kid.
Just kidding. Not much we can do about it if they are very old and we can’t trace the manufacturer. If anybody sees them for sale anywhere, or finds an intact package, we’d be delighted to find out where they came from!SilverArrow wrote:Melody,
I have been looking for older/retired pieces for about a year and a half and I have run across 2 that had cracks in the paint/sealant (from different sellers). The finish was smooth to the touch and the paint wasn’t peeling or anything like that. It can only be seen when the sculp is being held at an angle to strong light. (Looking head-on you don’t notice it.) I was wondering what caused the finish to do that? And is it in danger of peeling or flaking off later on?I don’t know. I haven’t seen this. Can you photo it and show me?
I can’t imagine the finish cracking, because it isn’t brittle like a ceramic glaze, it should stay a little stretchy, because it is a plastic coating. The very old pieces had a different coating from the one we use now (it is more matte) The older dragons I have here haven’t done that, as far as I know.Whistful wrote:okay i understand changing the color for the em /pe run as in the darker more blue/purple does blend much better with the colors. but ! i have now a momma and a male who need a youngster. i’d preffer a young dragon but a hatchling would be okay if thats all i can find. what are my chances of finding either of those with the more violet purple ?!
or anyway i could beg one to be made :X
thanx !We sold all of the first version, (if we ever did any young or hatching with the brighter purple on them, we may not of)
I compared a bright purple male I have with a bluer purple young dragon, and honestly, the difference in the color is so slight, I think they will still match just fine..mimitrek wrote:How big is this wolf going to be, compared to the PYO wolf?
Bigger. She is about the size of the large flapcat, but a little taller. 8″ tall, 7″ from chest to back wing edge.
DantheDragon wrote:I woke up this morning and I was looking at my new em-pea male (thanks wolflodge!) And thought… you know, a desert-coloured male dragon would look awesome o.o Like light tans for the chest to a darker brown or something around the back and wings. It could be called “Desert” or “Desert Shadow”. Just an idea 0:D Or an excuse for there to be even more male/female pairs for me to buy. *squee*
I did one! I have it at the shop. I love sand color and light blue together. It is kinda what the original brown color was supposed to look like, before it escaped my control and became burnt orange.
starbreeze wrote:Hi, Melody
Once upon a time; long, long ago, did you tell us you were working on a winged wolf for production? Did I dream that? Is this something we can still look forward to somewhere down the road? (after Poads of course 😆 )Yes, I am still resculpting the rough master sculpture again, since the other one was stolen… insert deep growling sound… I am about 3/4 of the way done with this one. Our mold maker is taking a month off soon, so we aren’t going to see big winged wolves for at least that long.
