If you are looking for original selling prices astral castles is the place to go. If you are looking for a current value, well there’s a forum member (littleironhorse) who has been tracking how much windstones have been going for on eBay for a few months now and she could give you estimates.
Things I still collect: sfi-fi/fantasy books, comics (only one title now), anime, manga, movies, cds, tv box sets, Christmas ornaments, fantasy art
Things I want to add to my collections of but haven’t been able to: Windstones (no money) decorated eggs (my grandmother who made them passed away years ago)
Things I used to collect (haven’t added to in years and don’t plan on adding to): G1 My Little Ponies, Barbies, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Bright, porcelin dolls, beanie babies, patches, spoons, t-shirts (Girl Scout and church related)
I also used to collect the newer (1990’s) Star Wars action figures but I sold all of them to my brother in law (before I married my husband).
My husband also is a collector of martial arts books (mainly Aikido related), RPG books (DnD, White Wolf and a few other odd ones), rocks, McFarland Dragons and a few other odds and ends.
Our son is inheriting what remains of both my husband’s and my stuffed animal collections when we were small so he has a sizable amount of his own, as well as the new ones he has been given.
I’m not really sure how to post a poll in this forum. I’ve never done it before but I seem to remember that if you want to do a poll you have to start a new topic…you can’t add a poll to an exsisting topic.
As for the community I linked to we have weekly icon contests. Livejournal gives you an option to screen comments (so they are private or only available to the one who posted the comment and the community moderator) so when icons are submitted no one sees them until the poll and when the poll goes up no one is influenced by anyone else’s vote. . I think the closest thing on this forum would be the PM – private message.
Art Slinger I realize you were talking about running a wildlife photo contest. I wasn’t trying to change what the contest was at all.
People were just asking how the winning image was going to be picked and I gave an example of how we pick the winning icons each week in an icon contest community I help run as a possible option.

It would be an APO address. APO stands for something like Atlantic Post Office meaning it’s going to an American Military Post via the Atlantic Ocean. There is PPO as well which stands for PPO – Pacific Post office and goes the opposite way.

That sounds like a pretty good idea, good one Pegasi!
We do something similar in the livejournal “The Last Unicorn” icon contest community that I help run.

Yeah I relize it kind of looks like ‘coon eyes, but it looked so wierd when I had some grey running through there. Maybe I’ll try to go back to it.
And oops I did miss the bit that is supposed to connect the two parts. Almost got the heart shape though. That’s something eaiser to fix and I’ll probably do it here in a little bit before the paint on my plate dries.
Well I got around to putting more colors on my wolfie tonight after putting my two-year-old son to bed. This is how it is looking now:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b235/pegasi1978/windstone/jaybutt.jpgI know it’s rough and no where near as good as some of the one’s I’ve seen here. I can’t figure out blending and shading for the life of me.
Still have to antique it and decide if I’m gonna add any interference. Have any of you worked with the powdered type interference paints? They didn’t have a liquid interference blue when I went to the store so I got this powdered stuff. I’ve tried playing with it on something else, but I’m not sure I’m using it right, any tips?
Oh and excuse the lighting…I love in base housing and the lighting inside really sucks. The blue is actually a little darker. I’ll try to get some pictures outside tomorrow if it’s a nice sunny day like it was today.
*snickers* Eric vs. the Gazebo. I’ve never heard of that story before. That’s too funny. I’m gonna pass it along to my friends who play RPGs with me.
