      Hello! I’m as much of a collector as my budget allows. I saw my first Windstone dragons as a child in a local gift shop. It took me many years to get my hands on one of my own, but I hope that I can keep collecting and appreciating Melody’s beautiful artwork.

      There are plenty of dragons, griffons, unicorns etc. out on the market, but I love Windstone sculptures because of the quality. I work with preparing fossils, and creating life-restoration depictions is a big part of the job. I’m studying paleontology, and you essentially have to take something you’ve never seen, and think like it’s alive. Melody’s sculptures make believing in dragons, unicorns, and winged beasts second nature. Her attention to musculature, pose, and integument really shows.

      Most of all though, her work is just plain inspiring. The faces of her sculptures really get to me; no matter what angle you look at them from they have a piercing gaze. When I was just a kid and looked up at the face of a lovely peacock emperor on a store shelf, it was something pretty special!

      Forever seeking: Blackwatch the raffle Old Warrior, Jennifer Miller's pieces, and GB Baby unis!
