I agree that using the light blue on the bottom of the wings over the whole paler area of the wing may help as Etruscan mentioned. It looks like you have a dark blue on the ear tips; maybe tipping the lower wing feathers (like mentioned) and tail tuft with the same shade would help? As for antiquing, you can use different shades on different areas.
Scored one for my mom for Christmas! Maybe that will help make up for missing out on the natural tanuki she wanted. Thank you guys!
Here are my two and mu husband’s Koko (he has another version with the gorilla holding a candy cane)
I like the idea of ‘plumber Santa’ lol.
The sweater on the right has the dino’s fanny on the back.Thank you, I’m glad you like it! The carrot is my dogs’ favorite too, they have a battered but surprisingly still intact one.
The stone the little dragon is holding is a mookalite I was told.
I bought the last thing for my recipient today and just finished the wrapping, now to find a box to fit everything and ship it out. I hope to this weekend.
I only have a couple dragon ornaments, and all but 1 I just got are packed up. Only a little tree I can put on the table this year, I don’t trust my busy young pups around the big one! I hope to find more, maybe I should make a couple.
I will take a picture of my little tree with unbreakable ornaments to be safe this weekend hopefully. I work the next few days (my employer is open Thanksgiving) and don’t have it finished yet.
That is a lovely tree, enjoy the dragon ornament and the multicolored lights against that gorgeous blue on the ceiling.
My Windstones are packed up, but I have a Santa’s hat for some victim to wear every year. Funny they don’t make doll sized hats that would fit Windstones easily for sale- only option I’ve seen are made for cats or stolen off teddy bears.I think I remember reading in the early days of the Forum that back when WE was in California, back near their beginning, employees were sometimes allowed to paint figures with minor defects (2nds, like used for copper patina and raffles) and take them home. I may be remembering wrong, and the time frame would have been late 80s-early 90s- not what this sounds like. Frankly, it does look like a repaint. *shrug*
Since my wants are unobtainable or not yet made (looking at you toaster) I will post my collector mom’s wants.
In no particular order-
Natural tanuki
Young Poad in ‘natural’ color scheme (maybe peach?)
Adult poad in ‘natural’ scheme; maybe butternut? She likes Podge
Wild color laying and sitting red foxesI am sorry for the poopy month Drag0n. The cat is the one that wouldn’t tame from the kittens you brought home from work? I remember you speaking of her. And I am sorry your mom remained true to character to the end. But blessings on the person who helped you with the qilin!
