      my husband’s Social Security payment is $544.70 short that’s over a third of his monthly payment! He’s 80 and disabled (Alzheimers, COPD etc), a veteran whose VA benefit remained the same, obviously not working and never worked for the government so Fairness act shouldn’t affect him, no back child support his kids were grown when he divorced his first wife, no alimony owed… just wtf and excuse the French. i’m scrabbling now just to make the house payment due in a couple days.
      Also odd that the payment wasn’t an even amount, it ended in 30 cents…

          lol- he’s quality control. Gotta check the production methods.
          Eagerly awaiting emerald, though I know it will be a long time.

            I really look forward to each posting. Looking forward to the Kickstarter so I can have it on my bookshelf to leaf back through along with The Veligent.

              Hi, Kelsey, your dragon is lovely!
              I think your idea of matte spray/ brush on gloss in spots would work well. I have used spray sealer on figures (non WIndstones), then brushed glossy clear nail polish on spots, and it has worked great.

                  I haven’t heard from her for quite a while. I hope all is well for her. The dogs are loving the cold, but we shall see about the plants. We’re about so miles north of our old home and on the other side of the river, it does get colder here.

                    I haven’t found my original of the recipe since I moved (I know I didn’t toss it! But still unpacking) so I am using the copy I posted here. Bumping in case someone newer might like it.

                      I took a few not wonderful quick pics and sent them off. Hey, at least this is the native environment for the grey fox!

                          Might you have a defective piece? I’ve never noticed that the gypsum of PYOs was softer than that of production pieces. Do you mean as blatant a difference as between greenware ceramics and fired pieces?

                            Welp, my choice of color has exactly 0 votes on that list. Guess it will be a very long time coming. Maybe that’s a good thing- more time to save.

                                Etruscan gave the best advice, but short answer is Elmer’s glue and if fill in/resculpt is needed Apoxie Sculpt, Golden for the paint.

                                  I’ve moved, as has my mom. I will send the new address.
