Well done! That sure was quick!!
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!

The designs for the Secret Keeper and the Sushi Cat should now be well positioned.The brown scratching dragon design is still questionable though. I need to work on it.Wow, that’s great! One thing though — I think the mugs are actually 11 oz. or 15 oz.. Its really nice that you’re offering both sizes.
By the way, is the image for the large mug going to be correspondingly larger than the one for the small mug?I measured a Cafe press mug myself (because the capacitiy isn’t in the Cafe’ Press info. about it).The small mug holds one cup.. that is 8oz. right?
I don’t know exactly what the large one holds, I assumed it held 11oz. since that is a standard size. I should take that off of the words ’till I know for sure, I guess.
The image for the large mug is the same size as for the small. There does not seem to be a way to put larger images on them.skigod377 wrote:Melody wrote:skigod377 wrote:Well done! That sure was quick!!

I am rounding up some large images we have of various Windstones. These are high resolution enough to make posters and calendars and stuff like that. I’ll be getting these items up this week, as time permits. Ha ha.

Planning for my wallet here 😀 I am getting close to a color, I’ll photo it today and post it. It is a wolf looking one. I can’t decide if the tan color should be soft, or bright chestnut like the “nyalah” one.. I kinda prefer it soft myself, but many people liked the brighter “nyalah” one. (If you don’t know what I am refering to, the pics of these old test colors are in my gallery, on here, under “staff gallery”) I am having trouble with the female, because I didn’t plan her feather pattern to match the male’s very well. She will look different, even with the same coloring, because her chest area is so broad.
I had some pearl griffin chicks test-painted last week. The sitting griffin chicks are cast and ready to paint. We’ll do a batch in Pearl next.
We are still having casting issues with the crouching one, though.frozendragon wrote:drag0nfeathers wrote:OH YEA! Poad skibbies, bloomers, knickers, undies, or as my mother called them… fudgies =D

I’ve got three coffee mugs in it.Wow, that was quick! I wanted to check with you on a few things:
Quote:1) The image on the mug looks like its all squished to the left. Is it actually centered on the side which faces you (if the handle is to the left)?
The pictures of the mugs don’t look very good. I ordered one of those mugs, so I’ll see for myself how it looks when I get it. I think that it is just how the image looks in the store.. but why don’t you wait till I get one to check, to be sure the image isn’t squished.
Quote:2) Is the image only on one side or on both sides? In the picture it looks like its only on one side.
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.
Quote:3) If its only on one side, it looks like the image would be on the side which is not facing you if you’re right handed. Is that the way it supposed to be?
Yes.
I am open to any suggestions you have! I don’t know what I am doing. I’m proud of myself for even getting those things up!Greater Basilisk wrote:A Windstone store! Awesome! Will these pieces be Direct Sales or will your retailers be able to sell them too?
You purchase these things directly from the “Windstone Stuff” store on the Cafe’ Press website.

I’ve got three coffee mugs in it. Hey, that took me all day! ( Notice the very cool drop shadow on the sushi-cat mug! That took three people about an hour to do by itself.)Also notice the impressive typo in the store description. You should always spell your company’s name wrong.I got a Cafe’ Press store set up! I have two coffee mugs with images of dragons on them in it! (This took me all day to accomplish, even with help from very kind people.)

I’ll add other items when I can dig up some good pics that are large enough, and of high enough resolution to make nice larger images.I showed this agreent to John, and he thinks it is all ok. So I will start putting the “Windstone Stuff” store together. Cool! Poad underwear!

I’ve had the store up for a while (meaning, years) and never had trouble with them though. I’ll have to look into it.
I am in no way suggesting that Cafe Press isn’t an honest, upright company. I have never heard of them abusing any copyrights.. it is just that agreeing to a vauguely worded (subject to change at anytime)license to a company, like Cafe Press, might somehow cause legal issues when other companies DO rip you off.I need to check with the lawyer, or the psuedo-lawyer(John) first.
Here is the text that concerns me most:

You make it sound as if I plan these things. I don’t. I usually don’t know what they are gonna be till I paint them.
Dragon Master wrote:how will we know when we can order these items? Will we be able to order them thru this sight? Black mugs with SK’s sounds nice
I was going to post a link to the shop here, but after reading the “terms of service” cafe press has, I chickened out on this. It sounds as if they have rights to your designs! It probably just means that you are giving them the license to use your designs on their stuff, which you would have to allow them to, of course, but there is a clause about them being able to change this agreement at any time!
.. so we are back to Lawyer land again. This is why we never accomplish anything.
