Meet Frostbite!
His coat is a shimmering silver grey, accented by frost kissed leaves. He also has pearlescent pink hooves, grey eyes and crystal jewels.
Indoors, no flash:
Outdoors in natural light:
He’s very shiny, so it’s hard to photograph him without light shine.
HOOOOOO-LEEEEEE-COWWW!! I didn’t see him in the class photo but this guy is definitely one of my very favorites! WOWWOWOWOWOOWOW!! GORGEOUS! Star you are one lucky lady!
That’s so cool! There is an old wooden carousel in Washington on the Brazos state park. It’s in this little tiny plastic house/hut locked away. I’ve been told they only bring it out on special occasions. You can see through the cracks and peek at the carousel. Its very pretty!
I remember Melody posting about a carousel project that was going on in Oregon. I will have to try to find the post. The carousel animals were the most ornate and beautiful Ive ever seen!
Yours is lovely. That was a very lucky find.Like a lot of you, I first fell in love with Windstones as a kid. I was in middle school and there was a store in my local mall called Ashley Avery’s. EVERY single time we passed by that store I’d veer away from my parents and go stare at the peacock dragons. They had the male, mother, young, and a ruby scratcher. I loved that ruby scratcher dearly! I saw a picture of the rising spectral and although the shop never carried one, I always thought that dragon looked like a mystic, some kind of healer, rising out of the mists. I would always ask for that ruby scratcher for Christmas, but usually there was something else expensive I wanted and it came down to “well do you want THIS or the dragon?” and usually I’d want the game system or the graphics scanner/wacom tablet and such (because Graphic Design used to be my LIFE and my biggest hobby). I thought I’d never own one so I had my friend draw me a picture of a male dragon in peacock. He’s gorgeous! She is a talanted artist.
Time passed and by 2006 I was in college. I was on the My Little Pony Trading Post when Whippetluv posted a PYO Griffin she had done. “Hmm. Windstone Editions. Those are those dragons I liked!” I went to the website, lookin for a foum and there wasn’t one yet. I found a family of old green dragons…2 males, a mother and a hatcher on ebay for $120 total. It was a lot, but I justified it by saying that EACH dragon wasn’t expensive and I could sell the extra male dragon. I was thrilled to get this giant box. I was very lucky that the seller packed them all so well, because they came from California to Texas with no damage-4 dragons in one box. That same week, the forum opened and I was one of the first few members on the first day it opened. I later traded the old green male for a white male dragon and my little dragon family lived on my chest of drawers.
There was a shop going out of business and someone on the forum told us all about it. I got my white grand unicorn for less than $100 (this was all before the 15% price increase around 2007/2008 too when Windstones were cheaper) a ruby old warrior for maybe $75, and a gorgeous damaged stripey male griffin for $100 (although perfect condition stripey ones were selling for $350 and VERY rare).
Well now I have over 150 Windstones and am out of room to display them all >.< ALL of my original dragons have since found other homes. I've sold about 50+ and am always swapping things out, selling something, buying something else….but in all that time, I have NEVER owned that darn ruby scratcher.
Getting in a little late on this but I certainly will miss PS’s work! True there were some things I thought “ew” for but that’s true of any artist anywhere. And things I didn’t like, someone else LOVED it, so it all works out in the end. Still my very favorites were Barn Swallow (#1) and Blue Ice (#2 or maybe a second #1 haha), then Poison Dart Frog, Kiwi and Emerald Tabby Tiger…all of those scemes were AMAZING!! I consider myself fortunate to own a Barn Swallow, Emeral Tabby Tiger, Kiwi and Blue Ice piece. The sunset rainbow tiger grand unicorn that went up a few months ago was breath taking too. I loved all the gaudy bright colors! Thank you PS for what you have given us, and you will be missed by all your “day job” fans 🙂
Yes, I’ve been squeaking for years for orientals in violet flame and rainbow! Glad to hear they are on the to do list anyway 🙂 I can’t wait! 😀
Your Clydesdale Unicorn sculpture on your Esty site is AWESOME!
Perfect Confirmation and his action is wonderful, also think his coloring is spot-on. You show amazing painting skills in this Equine piece.Simply beautiful. 🙂
Agreed! That stallion is gorgeous! I *love* draft horses. You did a fabulous job on him.
Thanks Pam. I might try that. There is a headquarters type place not too far away. I’m going to try sending documentaion first and see what happens.
I carried a rising spectral wrapped in a sweatshirt (the box was too big to carry on and it was a OOAK so no way was I risking putting it with luggage)and put in a re useable groccery bag on a plane in 2008 and had no problems.
She is gorgeous! I saw her on ebay and very much wanted to bid. I hope you get a fabulous price on her shes stunning and eye catching!
Here’s mine!
I originally had teal eyes and jewels, but they just ended up blending in. I like red much better 😀
HOOOO.LEEEE-COW!! This is gorgeous! I thought it was one of Melody’s! If you’d ever consider painting another similar to her, give me a shout!
Its okay. Thank you for your words though 🙂 Ive used FedEx to ship OVER 100 Windstones in the last 2 years and I have NEVER had a problem with them breaking anything until now.
I found this thread
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/finance/844629/but in that thread the item damaged is a $2,000 chest. I guess I’ll get pictures and try to get an estimate for repair.
Yuck! Some of these colors…the banana orange dream especially. I do really like the hatching emperor and empress…they look like a blue desert camoflauge. Aww man Ive had my eye on that male pegasus in the store FOREVER! I kept putting off getting him because “he’ll be there tomorrow” lol
Love the blueberry griffin and calico too…I couldn’t BELIEVE they went so low! I’d have put in a much higher bid on the griffin but…after the BVP SK I just got, I need to be good for a while and sell not buy lol
