I have a bunch of trinkett/jewlery boxes I did up for a con that didn’t sell so I’m giving you all first dibs at reduced prices.
Bat Cat is SOLD/On Hold
I have had the same computer and key board since 98′ the computer has had some tweaking and major replacements over the years but basically the same computer S…L…O…W………
I just got off of dial up that I’ve had since I got the computer. So the doors have finally opened for me to get a new computer with all the bells and whistles to support a graphics tablet.
I’ve been doing research and think the BambooII is the best one for me.
So many people here use graphics tablets I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or prefrences.
I love to sit and draw in the evenings. I love to take one picture and rework it over and over color and shading and such but it’s dang slow when I have to trace the master picture and transfer it to paper and then play with color ect…
So my question is am I tied to the computer to use the tablet? it’s not portable is it? can I travel with it and draw at lunch or while waiting in Doctor’s office’s???? can I sit at the couch and still use the tablet.
I’m not finding much about how portable it is.
I think that the Wacom BambooII is what I’m going to get it’s in my price range and it seems to be a popular model.
Anyway anyone want to give me hints and such??? i’m listening 🙂 or readinfg as the case may be.I finally have enough money saved to get a PYO and they are sold out!! 🙁
Whaahaaaaaaa!!!
This so suckS! and it’s my birthday money!
I was looking forward to this for months! I feel like someone took my my birthday present away….what a bummer.
How soon will they be back???
!!!!!!!I rode before I walked. My mother was a sulky jockey. I grew up on race tracks and slept in tack rooms on piles of horse blankets. The grooms all taught me and would drag up crates so I could help brush.
When I was 10 I moved in with my father who had gotten my older sister a huge buckskin mare. I loved riding her but she was so big I couldn’t saddle her myself my father told me if you can’t saddle her you can’t ride her. That mare was close to 16 hands.The saddle weighed more then me. So I decided to teach myself to ride bareback. I ended up on the road out cold where my father found me when he came home from work. Cuncusion and near death, he felt guilty and took me to get a saddle from a inlaw and when we got there, they had this gray dapple pony tied to a horse trailer. My father bought the saddle for 10 dollars and then told my dad that he had to take the pony to. So I got Cloudy a welsh pony. Hadn’t be ridden in years and yet he and I where made for each other. I learned alot about balance and falling on that boy. He loved to dump me and then stay 10 feet ahead of me all the way home and I’m talking miles!
I learned to ride bareback better then in saddle. I taught him to rear on comand and walk. The first time I showd my father the cool trick 🙂 Cloudly slipped in wet grass and fell over with me pinned under him and I ended up with another cuncussion, my father just keep standing there till I got up and said “nice trick Girl, DON”T do it again”
I rode everyday I’d ride before school and go to school with horse hair and sweat on my jeans. I’d stash my bridle in the mail box and ride as soon as I got off the bus. I lived breathed and ate with those horses. When I was 15 I ran away from home to live with my real mother. There was a huge gap in there where I had no horses in my life and how I missed them I’d dream of the wonderful feeling of freedom and the way they smell on cold mornings and thier sweet breath. I’d cry when I’d watch shows about horses I longed for them and to them….
Come to 2004 and we move here to the country and I get my deam horse a black and white paint, it’s been a bummpy road regaining my seat and balance and Cowboy has hurt me a few times,cracked head,busted tail bone,broke wrist and thumb…but I love him. He’s almost 17 now and he’s maturing,and we’ve leaned to work togeather but he still throws in a occasional buck.
He wraps his head around my body and hugs me and he licks my hands when I’m sad and lonely. He’s pulled off the screens of the house and puts his head through the windows looking for me he’s evenyanked the mini blinds down, he’s stuck his head through the dog door. He stands on the porch and tries the door knob.
He is trully my joy and my love and I am free when I am with him. I am closest to God when I ride and spend time with my horse.
I love every thing about them, thier smell and the way the hair feels when it’s brushed and washed, I love the way they can smell of dust and sunlight. I love the way they move and the way they can dance. I love the look of mischief that Cowboy can get in his eye when he’s being saddled, I love the way he loves water and mud and takes me swimming with him whe ever he finds a pond or puddle 🙂
I hope to never not have them in my life and I will never give up Cowboy I’ll live in a tent or on the ground before I’d give him or or see him do with out. Same goes for my dogs.I did my first con a few weeks ago…truthfully it was a major waste of time and money. It cost me 60.00 to sit there and then I sold only 163.00 worth of stuff….as far as con’s go that one was a snooze fest. All the vendors where grumbling at how poorly they where doing and they paid 120.00 for thier tables. I got a break beacuse they lost my reservation. I ended up in the hall at a club table.They made the Vendor’s shut down at 5:00 and that really ticked them off. I was allowed to sit there as long as I wanted. I think I had the better deal but sold next to nothing.
I’d really had high hopes but it was a lesson 🙂
As far as vending here in Houston I have not had much sucess.The hardest part of loving a furchild and sharing our lives with them is finding the courage and knowing when it’s time to let them go. We mourn for our loss and the empty place they filled. The bond between human and animal can be as deep and true as any love between a humam.
I know that they can come back to us or will be waiting for us when we cross over. I had a dog as a child a dog that became the loving friend and compantion I desperately needed…he was hit by my school bus driver and my father threw his body into the river. I was never given a chance to morun him, I never let him go..I dreamed of him most of my life and I missed him. One day many years later a man brought two puppies in that had been pulled from a storm drain during aheavy storm. When I had held this mink brown fuzzy pup and his eyes met mine I knew it was him and as I handed the pup back to the man with tears in my eyes I jokingly told him I was going to kidnap the puppy. After the pups got thier check up and shots the man left. Not 20 mins later I got a call from his wife and she asked if I really wanted the pup, I said yes!! and my heart leaped. He was presented to me by the man and his family and thier little boy was crying, I told him that my dog “Jareth” was very old and I needed a puppy and I’d love him for ever and he’d have the best home ever! Well I have had that puppy named “Hoggle” for going on 9 years and he is my friend and he is my pup that was killed all those years ago. I learned to love and trust because of a pup and my Hoggle is my comfort and my rock. He looks to me with love and trust in his eyes and I know with all my heart that they have souls and they love.
The loss of a furchild is just as devistating as loosing a child. Your doing the right thing and your furchild may find it’s way back to you someday keep your eyes and heart open and you will see that little bright spark again.I have this set of four candle holders I’ve been lugging around since the late 80’s. They are made of stoneware and are a Knight,Lady,Skull and Green Lady.
They are marked with “matchless and 1983.84.
I’m doing a sci fi con tomorrow and I was trying to find some history on them before I offered them up for sale.
Melody might remember the company from her early days.
I’d hate to sell the old things for next to nothing and then find out they are worth something. I been searching for hours and no luck. Found one for sale by the same company on Ebay for a BIN of 50.00
No history on the company. I remember going into Wicks and Sticks in the mall as a teenager and seeing them if that helps 🙂there are spots in the photo on his body that look like dust that isn’t. I add so many layers of translucent color some metallic that when the flash hits it it looks like dust but when he’s in hand his coat is a high gloss and slick. I like maxing my own colors and have taken to adding powdered metallic pigments to the gloss and it really actually comes out very nice. Lots of shimmer and depth.
I didn’t do any body changes on this fellow she just wanted a new mane.tail,feathers and horn as well as color. That body is fairly old it was a “Hartland” brand horse pretty banged up and perfect for my re-modeling. Oh yea’ I did pin his ears back,This is a custom order, he was very stubborn and he didn’t like the way I was going so I repainted him in a darker richer green and then the flames just flowed on to him. The order was for a charging fighting stallion I think he actually looks like he’s about to kneel to either purify water or heal someone/things wound 🙂
once upon a time we where at the lake with the dogs and playing in the water expoloring the woods and the dog would come up between my legs for a pet, I was wearing shorts….I got the worse!! I mean raised and weeping GROSS rash between my legs which spread to other areas…I then had to explain to my doctor how I got it there! I was so sick with it! fever and just felt like crud! I swear the areas swelled up like 2 inches raised and about 12 inches wide. Man it really was a awful couple of weeks even on meds and shots!
So I feel for you and the kiddo’there are several diffrent species of KiRin’s (I think) as a matter of fact I’m working on a Kirin that looks like those in that picture 🙂
These are two new ones. I finally finished, it took forever it seemed,just to get them done.
These are small with lots of POP 🙂This is “Reja” also know as SunChaser
This is “SpiralRain” the stallion that runs along the storm clouds and brings rain.

If you have a specific thing you want to do and are not sure, usually the only person that can answer this question definitively is John. Email him at john@windstoneeditions.com
Cutting wings off!! that’s be horrible and so wrong! Her sculpts are out of this world! I’d never do that kind of thing. I was thinking more of boreing a space to set a big gem. Not mutilate or hurt a piece. I ment like if I added a big gem to a unicorn, could I sculpt more mane to cover the area around the gem I’d set?
I’d never sell them they’d be for me 🙂 and when I die they’d go to my neice.
