      I don’t remember if I ever put it in the squeak thread but something like pyo pebble dogs would be nice, especially if there was an ear up version and an ear down one to help cover a good number of common and popular breeds.
      I don’t know how well canine sculpts sell so it may not end up being worth the investment to make compared to popular fantasy creatures.

        I sewed a little silkie chicken pin cushion. The head poof didn’t come out how I wanted so I made a new pattern piece for it and am gonna give it another go over the weekend or next week.

          They were on random parts of the body like spots, and fairly small so I was able to hide them with paint.
          The more recent PYO Orientals have had a higher rate of casting issues compared to other PYO sculpts.

            That’s the worst I’ve seen but I have had instances where there have been unstainable patches on a piece. Oddly enough they were also on the Oriental dragon.

              That barong looks so cool! Can’t wait to see how it looks once it gets its details added!

                  If you’re on the wish list for a piece and it’s not a special password protected one then you’ll get a notification when there’s a restock.
                  With how popular WE PYOs are I’m sure that they would make a BIG batch as opposed to small waves.

                    I like how the copper works with the blue on those dragons.

                      I managed to get one last piece done before the end of 2022. This is Scales and Turquoise Sails.

                      He was originally going to be a remake of a beach-themed dragon that got damaged, but I wasn’t sure what exactly I wanted to do so he sat around for a few months. Ultimately, I opted to just paint the inner wings and some small accents. It’s a very basic look but I really like it.

                        I’m churning them out! This one’s called Star Shifter!💫

                        Most of it is painted either with colorshift or color-changing paint. I couldn’t get a good example of the color-changing paint on the side scales as it’s kinda cold here.
                        Originally I was going to paint small stars on the fur, but I thought it was too pretty so the stars are only on the scales.
                        I was planning to sell this one but I’m going to wait a week or two and see how the color-changing paint reacts with the varnish. It doesn’t like getting varnished for some reason so I want to make sure everything’s ok before putting it up for sale (but I’m not against keeping it either because it’s still super pretty).

                          A new WIP enters the fray! This will be another colorshift piece. The blue-purple paint comes out really well.

                            I’d buy a few holiday cards for people. I always send out a few cards every year so if I can help support a small business in the process all the better.

                              Thank you very much!^^

                              I’ve also completed another PYO! Since I had also started a new DIY room kit I had a somewhat decent backdrop for the PYO this time instead of my messy work area.

                              This is Super Deluxe Mint Choco-Swirl! He’s a bit of a straggler but I think he makes up for it by being overloaded with sweet little details. This is the last of the Mint Chocolate Chip pieces I’m painting for my ice cream series. I’m not stopping the series, but I am going to move on to different flavors.

                              This piece is being auctioned off here and on the Windstone Editions fan club over on Facebook. Here’s the classified ad for the auction, through you can also use facebook if you prefer

                                Most of the body was left with the tea-stained light sandy tan color. However, the wings and tail were painted with gold interference, metallic gold, and metallic turquoise paints and sealed with a satin varnish to give them some shine.

                                  Just under 3k for that little ki-rin. Dang! Congrats Windstone on that piece.
