That’s sad about the hunting ground. Hopefully something good pops up for next year!
I hope you have fun reversing Halloween, Bidine! I doubt you’ll get much protest for free candy, lol. But Im not going to give candy out or try getting any, likely just wander the sidewalks and try to look spooky just to cheer up those who can’tdo anything due to Covid. I need to avoid close contact regardless,
the paint to age Anubis is not waterproof so he’s not washable. So anyone coming in 6 feet is likely going to get hit with a flail (that thing is real, btw) and told you don’t approach the Lord of the Dead. 🤣🤣🤣It was a fun costume to make and acquire items for (found the flail at a garagesale by someone who frquented Africa and had authentic artifacts). Only the mask was ordered (and it needed aging and lights). Looks crazy cool in low light with a fog machine. Won the local costume contest too, last year. Glad you guys like it!
Congrats on the crazy-cool grail, Dragonfeathers!
I’m always amazed what’s quietly abiding somewhere that turns up in here. Wow!
I’ll add a squeak for a yellow-orange-(+peach) dragon production jewel color. Windstone can call it Topaz. I added peach because the real stone has some nice peach tones in the right light too, kinda grapefruity but not as light.
Here’s a topaz (another thrift rescue) for reference:
I also squeak for the sitting oris as rainbow tigers. Or colorshift safaris. A colorshift leopard might be pretty cool in the right combos!
Was debating throwing on the Anubis costume from last year and just walking along the ‘burb as dusk falls. The eye sockets and mouth are lit up, the costume itself has a faint glow and the skull a bit moreso.
Should be fun as long as I can keep from tripping on the shroud.
New item!
Not sure what this is. Looks like a laquered trivet but it’s too pretty to risk under a hot pot! Not my decor style really. All but the black(ish) background and outlines sparkle with a different or silvery color in a pseudo-opal manner, and her bracelets have glitter. Has a metal triangle on the back for hanging. No damage I can see in the smoothness of the laquer (only her earring breaks the shine because it’s raised) but one glitter spot might be a rub (to the right of her butt)?
Just under 8×8 inches.
Throw me an offer, and then we’ll calculate shipping. Pet free except for a fish, nonsmoking home.
I couldn’t resist taking the last rainbow bantam. I was showing my bf how the newly stocked bantams looked and telling him I liked the rainbow best. It was out of stock a moment before, then another one likely fell off someone’s cart. I was fighting with myself because I’d just paid my taxes and Chicago seems to think owning your own roof means you’re rich so they can tax the hell out of you. My bf said, “You can get it, you know you will anyway and you’ve been looking for more colorful ones like it for weeks. And you know I won’t be upset. And it costs less than the others, too.”
Bless the man. He’s a keeper! ❤
So that’s why it was so grey this morning here in Chicago! I thought it odd when the weather claimed “sunny”. That’s sad. Be safe guys!
Is that a reclining winged lion in the back? 😉 Behind the standing uni. So many wonderful things in the works!
I vote for more rainbow tiger dragons as a grab bag. Maybe mini keepers, or young dragons, not just bantams. Look how popular they are! They might be time consuming but people love it!
Also, time consuming as they are likely, maybe some cat wizard test paints? I mean a blue lightning cat wizard (haha, or blue tabby colorshift stripes like on the rainbow tigers and rainbow robes?) would be awesome! That might break Ebay!
There’s a good number of purple and green combos that were made, this was just the last one I saw available. Oh well! If you see it’s pic, let us know which one!
I agree, Angelika, there were so many beautiful dragons it was hard to choose! I’d have loved to stretch my wallet further too and grabbed more at the time but there’s only so far a paycheck can go and this year the taxes were brutal. I might need to look at moving to somewhere better soon, this village is not high end yet I’m paying house prices for better rep towns for a condo in this one. I’d still love to snap up a few more bantams (if anyone is willing to sell theirs) but I also want to give a chance to those who haven’t had the opportunity to get even one yet so I’m trying to hang back when I see any in the classifieds.
The cast gypsum castles being resold seem all damaged, that’s why I thought this one might be in equal danger (especially with how people pack such now and how the mail services beat everything up). That idea for leaving space for internal lights sounds great! I’m sure people can figure out some easy to install options.
Love the idea of a fish pond insert with tiny fish. That’s so cute! My Beta fish might get jealous, lol.
