Awww.. so sweet. How’s the new home working out? Or has fuzzy gained some confidence and moved on to other new friends?

I don’t really want a huge or super serious collection, just maybe a couple more that I really, really love.
I said something like that! About 20 dragons ago! Love is a funny thing…

Oh, my what choices!
Your questions really made me think about this.
Well, My preferences are:
1. Moderate patina
2. Smoothly distributed in the “normal” wear pattern of aged copper
3. Teal eyes and gems
4. A little purple
5. Moderate antiquingDragon #1 overall first choice, #4 is a bit bright, like a newer penny. The patina is nice – so maybe antique a little more?
Thanks for asking!
PS If any one of the dragons ends up on my doorstep (including “Ol’ Red Eyes”) I would keep him, love him, and put him in a place of prominence! I think that ALL Windstones, no matter how great they look in pictures, look better in person.
Thank you Melody and Team for all the great art you have brought to us over the years. I hope to see many more years of great stuff.

Gasp! They are spectacular! I missed your livestream (I was working). But you have an incredible talent. Hat’s off to you!!!

Oh man, everyone has such big collections! I’m very much envious!
I got a picture of all the pieces I own while I was getting pictures for the repairs section:
Haha, yup, that’s all! They were all gifts too. (Photobucket seems to be taking a while to resize pictures today, sorry if the pic is still too large).
Maybe I can save up enough with the extra summer commissions to buy one more once my birthday rolls around.
These guys are Great! The Young Rainbow is a bit hard to find and your unicorns look to be in really good shape. I’m a sucker for the baby kirins, so good for you!
You are ahead of where I started – I had a Young Peacock and a Peacock Small Wizard for years before I was able to get a bigger collection. Take your time and enjoy the collecting. There’s something really sweet about opening a box and in it is a new treasure.

Yes, they look champagny to me too, but it could also be a bad photo. Some of the colour reproductions on ebay are pretty bad. Good price for the coiled mom, though.

Red Fox, Grey Wolf, Artic Fox or Wolf, Silver Sparkle Fox or Wolf. Hmmm.. I guess I’m pretty open to the any colour scheme!
My request is – Melody, please put some more in the store, whatever colour you feel like painting! They are all great!

I hate leaving my pieces setting out to get dust on them. It feels like I am depreciating an investment. Recently I added a couple of empty aquariums. Sometimes you can get a fairly good sized aquarium or an odd sized one on sale for a reasonable price. I talked to Jennifer about this a while ago and she said that there are even certain bulbs that can go into the hoods that would be o.k. to use as display lighting. The ones that mimic UV rays wouldn’t be a good choice as they could cause fading.
The other cool thing about this (I am thinking of some of you artists out there) is that you can also put a painting or scene behind your collection. I am lucky because I have an artist in the family who can paint me what I want. You could cut down a scenic poster, anything you can imagine.
I started doing this a few years back to keep the dust off some of my fairies (some of them had rooted hair – so dust is really an issue). It was too fun to create a little environment for them with silk plants and stuff. I even raised some areas in the back of the aquarium with little boxes and then covered the whole bottom with green cloth. This made it look like there were little hills. I could display things on different levels and tiny stuff in the back would not get blocked by the items in front.
Windstone Wench that’s the greatest idea! I have a pretty full barrister’s bookcase now and will probably have to get another at the rate I’m going! But the aquariums would work so I could get the kids into other rooms!

Oh Drag0n, I am so sorry for the loss of your Snickers baby. I’ve been there. There is so much to say, but it’s not coming out right here. I’m crying with you.

I’m trying to vote, but every time I click on the vote button it jumps to a number I don’t want (sorry to whoever’s pic that is). Is there any other way we can record the votes?
