Wonder if anyone has ever asked this…but have you ever thought of producing one of those coffee table photography books of all your art? There are so many original pieces that have been sold, are still on the back shelves of the factory (paint tests?) and are still being produced, that I have no doubt you could put together a quality book and sell it for about $60 apiece. The old Windstone booklets were really cool and something along those lines on a larger scale would really sell like hotcakes. Especially for those who want to own, but can’t afford some of the larger pieces (all the OWs, Secret Keepers, etc). Plus, it’s a great way to display your one-of-a-kind sculptures that will never be sold. I know a lot of artists have had success with this type of endeavor and it also works as advertisement for the Windstone name. Anyway, just a thought. 😉
~pheonixxWe want to do just that. I don’t know if it will be a big beautiful “coffee table ” book, but a book of the Windstone collection. Maybe we can get it together for Windstones’s twenty-fifth aniversery in three years.
Or, maybe have a series of collector books, since we are always doing new things..
We just don’t got time to work on it now!!Pam Thompson wrote:Mel, are pearls considered a “retired color”? I so want a pearl mother (hen) someday…
No, the Pearls will be around. They are a direct sale (from ebay, by ordering directly, or the not-quite-ready-for-prime-time pre-order list and Windstone “store” [which isn’t running yet] on our website). They are limited production though, which means we don’t make tons of them. We will sell out from time to time, but will paint more when we get around to it.
WHY do you all like autumn leaf so much???
I mean I love it, but I am suprised that anyone else does… It is such an odd combination of colors!Dragon Master wrote:Melody wrote:They are about 5 1/2 inches long and 3 inches wide across the butt.

Didn’t you get a sample of how I really talk when you were here?

He’s ok. John hadn’t heard from him in awhile either,and emailed him. Snap is just busy.
ddvm wrote:Since they just sent out the email about the gold coiled dragons (jumps up and down with joy) I thought this was a good time to thank them for all the hard work they do. Any time I’ve won or bought a Windstone directly I get prompt, informative emails and there has never been a mistake in any of my (many) orders. Plus, they are really nice! 😀 Just wanted to let them know how much I appreciate their hard work! 😆
You may have to email them with that comment ! They refuse to read the forum! They are afraid of getting sucked in I think.

Jackie I don’t know how many were made. We probably still have the sales records for all the things we’ve sold, but it would be a huge job to go through them and count.
The numbers on the wings are mold numbers. The flion™ on Ebay is out of mold #13. We put those numbers on them so that if a piece came out with a defect, we could trace it to the mold. We often have a lot of molds being used at once.The markings on the very bottom, if you have one without felt, is the caster’s, or our detailer’s initials. One of them makes a “B” that looks just like a “13”.
The backward 7 is probably a 1. That would mean it is one of the first Flions™.Greater Basilisk wrote:Could someone PM me the e-address too? I sent my order to what I think is Karen’s address – but I’d like to be sure. Thanks.

Keeps me moving!mmmm…coffee time….
purplecat wrote:About how much do you think they’ll go for apiece? (Calculating times five for a clutter! 😉 )
I need settle on the colors they will be, and then paint a batch to see how long it takes. I’ve only painted test pieces so far.
purplecat wrote:Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!! Are the poads about the same size as a fledgling dragon or smaller??
A little bigger. A tiny bit bigger, I just weighed them. A fledge weighs exactly one pound, a Poad™ weighs 1.2 pounds.

Yea, I wasn’t sure if I should say anything in a post since there are so many lurkers and vistors from the net. Although, I also know that there are many new members that may not be signed up for the e-mails.
So this is basically a question to all members: Should we post about things in the forum from the Windstone e-mails or should they be kept quiet for the collectors? And Mods, what do you think?Go ahead and post. It’s how we get new members!
