    So, who is it going to be: drag9nfeathers or Eviecat? Where should I send my $$ to get that poor dragon repainted? Is anyone else going to put in some $$ to help with postage?

    in reply to: Ouch… my soul >_ #898938

    I’d be willing to post some money to the PayPal account of someone who would fix him…That poor dragon!! Sunshine yellow AUUUUUGH!!!!! I can’t afford to buy him outright myself but maybe he could be a forum project????

    I got $10 right now to start the rescue…

    I totally understand, darjeb. I, too, had no idea how to post photos. Luckily, our fellow forum member, Hannah, wrote a simple tutorial that I found very helpful. Here is the link:

    I just logged back on and, as you probably know, it is fixed.

    Thanks!

    I had surfed the website earlier today and everything was fine but now I am missing the old prices in the out of stock listing and the dates and times for new messages in the forum threads’ table of contents. Has the website been modified or is this a glitch with my computer?

    *EDIT* I left the website and came back and I’m still missing information. After I posted my original message, I discovered I was also missing the prices of the in stock listing and the descriptions for the new sculpts on the Store homepage.

    Thank you so much for the warning! Although I’ve had dogs for years, it is only within the last few years that heartworm has become a problem in our area (southern California) so I am a newbie on heartworm meds. My dog is older (~8) so I will refuse the ProHeart 6 if my vet suggests it. You may have saved my dog’s life….

    I’m glad Koda is doing better. I hope he makes a full recovery. :party:

    Kiya, any idea when the next livestream might be? I keep missing them….

    in reply to: GB Young Uni Livestream (June 14) #898657

    Hannah, don’t dispare so quickly; after all, there are still another 100 or so young unicorns waiting to be painted. Maybe you should tell Melody what kind of candycorns you are looking for. For example, I really liked “Stained Glass” from the original candy ‘corn batch and would love to see something like that for the young unicorns.

    So don’t give up – Melody does paint a wide variety of designs

    Thank you. It helps to understand exactly what the problem is. Good luck to them.

    Whew! I still like Barn Swallow better. 😉

    Yes, but did you notice that the colors are not the same as on the griffin? I think all the same colors are there but the griffin was darker – less light gold and more dark blue/purple. The dragons to me looked like a washed out, lighter verson of the griffin (I do not mean to criticise Patricia’s work!! I’m just pointing out the difference in the color schemes) In point of fact, I would like to see a Golden Sunset TP#2 Rising Spectral and Spectal with a heavier emphsis on the darker colors. 🙂

    in reply to: Holy Moly! The Golden Sunset Griffin is AMAZING!!! #898488

    Oh, yeah!!! and maybe have the blue grade to purple, like it did on the griffin??

    in reply to: The on-going horn shortage… #898487

    I’ve been thinking about this alot. Now I am in no way connected to Windstone, so everything I’m going to say is strictly my (out of the loop) read on things.

    Windstone may not have the resources at the moment to solve the problem. Melody resculpting the horns would be almost a hit and miss deal – very impractical for someone with her workload (and very expensive!!). Likewise resculpting all the horned heads to match new horns. (As she has explained elsewhere, creating a mold for the gypsum is a multistep process) 3-D printing (to create new masters) theorectically could be done but it would take a materials engineer and would still entail a certain amount of hit and miss experimentation. Potentially extremely expensive. Lastly, and this is a point no one has brought up so maybe it doesn’t apply, the price of gold has gone up from ~$200-$300 an ounce in 2000 to, according to today’s price on the internet, $1384.25 per ounce. In the jewelry industry, I understand that affordable jewelry is being made out of gold plated silver, because pure gold (or even 10 karat) is cost prohibitive. It was worse a few years ago when gold got up to $1800 an ounce. Predictions (and we know how accurrate they can be) were that gold would go up to $2000 an ounce in a few more years.

    All in all, I don’t see any easy solutions or possibly any solutions at all that are practical from a business standpoint. On the positive side: Windstone can’t help but know how much we would miss the horned creatures and I’m sure they will do what they can to find a solution
