I have one question…I got a Green Fledgie and he matches my male, young and hatching, but I also have a female who for some reason is a much yellowier green on the lighter green than that of the others…Is it because she is older? I noticed that the Emporer’s on Ebay were different too. One matches my 3 and one matches my mother. Was it just a difference in the painter? Or did you not like the more yellow green? I really wish they were all the same. But I am glad to have them all (Except the Emporer…I wish I could afford him right now since it is the only full family I want in one color. 😥 )! 😀
The green color varies alot. We made that “Old Green” color for years and it “drifted” around. There were three basic types of the “Old greens”, because of the three different paint brands we used: The oldest dragons were the darkest green. The lighter green color on the dragons then became more yellowish for awhile when we switched paint brands the first time.(This is probably when the female you have was made,so she is older than the others you have.) When we finally switched to “Golden” brand paint, we had the colors custom mixed for us, so after that point the color stayed consistent; a nice medium green. These most recent ones will match the fledglings (it’s the same paint). You can probably match the colors by looking carefully at the greens on Ebay, and pouncing on ones that appear to match your others. Sell the ones that don’t match!

I need to find twelve images that are interesting enough and big enough! I am trying to avoid having to do new photos, but maybe we will have to.Do you want a calendar to be all dragons? Or can it be anything?

I gotta dig through this disk I burned of all the latest Windstone pieces we’ve photo’d.(The older images are on REAL FILM and I don’t know how to get them on the computer!!) I’ll see what else is the right size; the images are all different crazy sizes for some reason. Anyway, I want to get the violet flame Old warrior or the Violet flame S.K. image on something. Oh, and the Gold Leaf Old Warrior. He is so pretty, and there was only one of him… I can’t find any good Kirin images, I wanted those on stuff too.

right
I got some tee shirts up in the Cafe’ Press store this morning!
Just one design so far, but it will turn you into a lovely walking billboard.

The tail jewel fell off on me! 😯 Do you have anything to reccomend for glueing the stone back in?
AAAHHH! White glue works fine.I hope they don’t all fall out! Is everybody else’s jewels staying put? We use a tough type of white glue, but Elmer’s works fine.
Dragon Master wrote:Hi Melody
This came up in another topic and I wanted to get the answer correct from you. I had heard many years ago that the date you have stamped on the base of your Windstones is the date the actual MOLD was made and not the date the sculpture was made. I’m sure you can use molds over and over again. So even the modern day Male and Mother dragons are being cast with the original date of the first casting. After collecting for so many years it does seem to be true since all my Emperors, Males, Females etc all have the same date on them for some reason I just wanted to confirm this and was wondering if there was a specific reason you did this??That is the copyright date. That is when the sculpture was first published. The oldest Windstones, such as the little hatching dragon, will have 1984 on them. The Female griffin wasn’t published until now although the sculpture was started in 1985, so she has a date of 2006(I think) on her.

The image is just on one side, away from the drinker if they are right handed. Should I put them on both sides? I can do that. I was going to do some wrap around designs too.
Having the image on both sides would be great — I think that would look a lot nicer. In addition, it would work for both left and right handed people, regardless of whether they preferred the image to be facing toward or away from the drinker (since the image would be on both sides).
I totally agree. If I’m drinking tea in my mug (right handed) I want to see the picture too (as well as let others admire it). My boyfriend is left handed so it would even work for him!
Yep. You are right. Now the images are on both sides.They still have the “square block image on cup” look though, but I don’t mind it too much.I found more images, so maybe I can get some more interesting things put together today!

Golf tee??? Now THOSE I haven’t seen! wouldn’t the image be awfully small?
They look like a polo shirt. The image would be small on the chest, like a pocket.OH, golf TEE shirt! I thought you meant a golf tee, like the little thing you hit a ball from!

but still, she’s way bigger than I thought….

You realize, of course, I am fooling around with this instead of working on sculpture…
As a matter of fact, that thought did cross my mind…for about 2 seconds…but I was def not going to bring it up. 😆
This is fun though!
Im glad!! You know, I was wondering, because of previous conversations, if the calendar you put out was gonna be a year behind….
I’ve wasted a month, but it will still be for this year, I would think!
make it a 16 month one…that way the wasted month(s)…won’t matter much OY, sixteen images?? I’ll see what I can come up with. I know we got millions of images, but getting to them is a job.
