Hey Melody, did you ever consider doing a betta as a pyo piece? Since the fish come in all sorts of colors i thought it might be a neat idea.
a lap or scratcher would be nice. Or the oriental if you choose to do anymore of them. I love this color. it’s one of my favorites.
Hi Melody,
I don’t think that you anwsered my question yet about if there were going to be more of these guys. So, are there going to be more? :squeak: Let me know. I would really like to buy one. Thanks.I was wondering if you are going to make anymore of the white sitting spectrals? I missed out on the first batch with bills and all.
thanks. i just emailed her and she responded in about 10 minutes. Now that is excellant customer service. 🙂
🙁 I got my curlie in the violet flame today but he doesn’t have his eye! His eye wasn’t in his bag or in the box. It’s like it fell out before they boxed it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yeah i know how you feel. I just bought the Emperor in brown last week, but if i knew that the Violet Flame dragons were almost ready, i would have saved my money for them. The emperor is very cute, but i could have waited on him for a few more weeks. Oh well, i am sure Melody will make more. This was only the first batch. Cheer up. 🙂
i love the new Violet Flame color! It’s a little bit like a warm counterpart to the Emerald-peacock color. I really like the Fledgeling but i just didn’t have the money right now. I am also interested to see was other dragons you are going to do. My vote for the next dragon would be a lap dragon or the scratcher. I think the color would look great on them.
I would love to see the royal hatchers in other colors! The ruby and gold would be great! Or maybe when you come out with a new color. I remember you saying something about using the Violet Flame color as a possible production color?
Hi Melody, I know you are retiring the orientals soon but have you ever considered a hatching oriental? You know, like how you had the hatching empress and emperor. The body wouldn’t be too bad because you could pick which parts, besides the head, that you wanted to show. Just a suggestion.
Ack! you guys win. I got them both! My mother likes all my dragons and unicorns, but she loved the Griffens. This is now my first complete windstone set. Yea me! 😀
Melody wrote:What sex are phoenixes?
In most of the research that i have done, most are male, though in the east they come in pairs of male and female. Personally i favor female phoenixes over male ones since they can be paired with dragons and the dragons are usually male. I did read a book by Elizabeth Forrest called phoenix fire and she gave her male phoenix spurs on his legs and the wrist of the wings. Her phoenix also had no pupils just golden eyes. Just thought you would like to know. 🙂

Hope youre having a nice weekend.. Busy, busy, Im sure! If not, good on ya!Ive tried to do a search for this, but more often than not, it brings up user nyms (my own included!), rather than the subject matter for which Im searching.
Has anyone ever asked you, or have you ever considered creating a Phoenix as a Windstone piece? Im just envisioning some really cool (or hot as the case would be) oranges, reds and yellows that could be burned in there for the plumage. Expression in the eyes could go either way- if it’s sitting with wings just barely spread (or held in), I can see a gentle face, but if in full flight or a dive but still with full wing span, I can see more intense (though not mean- I dont see them as wicked birds; strong, protective and will fight to the death if need be but not agro for no reason) emotion coming from the eyes. Then some great talons in different positons (feet) and even perched on large partial high branches maybe- I dont know.
Just spitballing. Ever thought of anything like that? If others have already come to you with this request or idea here, sorry for the redundancy. I was unable to recover it with the search function. Have a nice day and rest of the weekend!I am fooling around with a phoenix pyo design, (which means I have several going at once.. this is what I do when I am undecided about the design) The latest one is sitting on a rock, with the wings partially spread. The tail still bugs me though, I just don’t like the long floppy feathers in the tail..Do phoenixes always have to have tails like that? I was might give this one a tail like an archyopterix.What do you think, is the long ribbon-like tail very important to the “phoenix” image?
I guess it depends on what type of phoenix you are doing. I did a paper a couple of years ago, and i have seen tail feathers like an eagle but with eyespots, a peacock tail, or a cobination of the two with an eagle tail that had a few peacock feathers coming from the base of the tail. I guess its just depends on what you think would look nice and is easy to scuplt. Just my two cents.
Now when you say a tail like an archyopterix would that look like a mourning dove’s tail? That could be nice as well. You also could add some eyespots for some flare.
