Hmmm… I may be alone in this, but I’m not sure naming him is such a good idea? It sets him apart from all the other PYOs. If you don’t want to go with Large PYO Dragon in case you do a larger one later on, why don’t you just call him Medium PYO Dragon? That way “large” is still available for future use, or if you start really getting into the PYO line and do several more, you could always go with names that refer to position, for example: Lying Down PYO Dragon, Sitting PYO Dragon, Paw-Up PYO Dragon, Curled PYO Griffin, and so on.

I like the name you’ve chosen for all the production items, but somehow, I feel that naming the PYOs would, in a way, restrain the way we see them by giving them a pre-determined feel. Because, in my mind, when you name something you assign certain qualities and expectations to it.

Am I making any sense?
“Keeper” does refer to his pose. I think I’ll just call him a pyo Keeper dragon, ’cause he can keep whatever you like. The paw is too small for a real bee, though.It is just big enough for a jewel, or little stone.
These sculptures need names to differentiate them from each other. We try not to name them in ways that could be confusing… such as “sitting dragon”. Then we went and called the first one the “Small pyo dragon”. That was real smart, since its size/name is relative to the other pyo dragon(s).

That is the problem with language. Everything must have a title or name, and that limits the way we think! That is a very profound observation, but unless we use numbers, we are stuck with names of some kind!
John suggested “Clutch”. Is anyone here old enough to remember the old “Clutch Cargo” cartoons that were on tv? They were terrible. Talk about a name giving something certain qualities! I don’t want to think of that cartoon series!

I still like Finder Keeper. It’s just a cute play on words, and he could be hanging onto something for you so you don’t have to go look for it, like keys.
Hmm… Key Keeper

Finder Keeper
Key Keeper
Wish Keeper
Treasure Keeper

I like all those.I am definitely a Finder keeper. I got a pile of em.That’s my favorite comic.

Instead of just putting the url in there plain, you use the little “img” tags. They’re up above where you type in. Click the “Img” button, and it gives you a pair of tags. Put the url of the image between them, and it’ll show up.

I tried that and it did’t work!:p

Ok , the time has come to name the larger of the two Paint your own dragons…and again, I have no good name for him, so I need suggestions. He is pictured in my gallery as “large pyo dragon”, but I don’t want to call him that, because, what if I do a larger one?
He is a “Keeper” type dragon. He is holding something in his paw. I would like a name that means something like “Resolution Keeper”, or “Goal Keeper”, or something about what he is keeping. (Not “bee keeper”, but thanks anyway, Griffin)
Any thoughts?

I’m not seeing him in your gallery. Am I blind?http://www.windstoneeditions.com/galleries/displayimage.php?album=16&pos=30
How did Nam get the image on here? I still don’t get it.

Maybe we should start a poll. But Melody tends to go with something of her own making when we do that anyway…

Do I do that? Sorry! But this does help!

I’m sorry, Bee Keeper keeps sticking in my mind as well lol I mean, he COULD be holding a bee in his paw, right?? 😆

I love “bee keeper” but that makes, like , no sense at all.

[Melody]

It doesn’t have to have “Keeper” in its name.But he is holding something mysterious and of your choosing, since the paw will be empty for you to stick something into.

I like Dream Keeper but would that be a problem with Disney? In Epcot (the Imagination building with Figment the purple dragon) there was a guy whose name was Dream Keeper.

Yeah, that is another thought, don’t want to step on Disney’s very rich sensitive toes.

I just saw the BIN on the PYO Griffins…You aren’t really gonna stop making them already are you? Please don’t!!! I still have alot of ideas for them, and I want one of all but brown eye color!! I just can’t afford them now. 😥

What?? No! We aren’t.
Oh, because it says “final” mold? I meant that I wasn’t planning to fix it anymore. The sculpture is now in it’s final form.

And there you have it! Miss Melody’s Cowpie Dragons. *pokes her to get her to list some* 😀
Did not! The casters at Windstone named them that. All the cowsplat shaped ones are cowpies.Coiled dragon , Mother coiled dragon Innerlight dragon and now the curl dragon. I’ve never heard the “Cat’s Cradle” sculpture reffered to that way, though.

Heart keeper?
wish keeper
talisman keeper
keeper of happiness
hope keeper
magical keeper
soul keeper (okay, that sounds like harry potter)

to be quite very honest, the keepers a bit bothering. I understand the need of keeping keeper, I would myself, but the old name went smoothly and most of the new ones have a nice first word and then comes the keeper like a .. wagon rolled over a badly kept road. No offense, just noted when reading the new namesOh, I know. It is always like this when thinking up a name . You nmever want to hear it again after awhile. This is the normal process.
