I have a "White Wizard" sculpture in my collection. This wizard is stamped "Windstone," has a bear paw print with "Pena ’86" next to it. This wizard, unlike the photos of other White Wizards I have seen, has brown shadowing inside the sleeves and on the robe. It also does not have felt on the bottom. Did you create any White Wizards matching this description? Thank you for your time.

:-) Melody Pena replies: " Some of the white wizards we made had more brown shading on them than others. They are all supposed to have a airbrushed shadows that accentuate the the deeper recesses of their robes.
No felt? Interesting... yes it is possible to have one with no felt, since we began producing those wizards right about the same time we began to use the felt bottoms. Is he stamped on the bottom? "

Thank you for your informative answer. The wizard is stamped on the bottom. One other item of curiosity is this wizard is not glazed and there is a small amount of brown paint on the bottom. I imagine if felt was used, this would cover any paint. The detail on the wizard, especially the dragon, is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent.

:-) Melody Pena replies: "That Wizard is probably one of the very first white ones we produced, before we had worked out the final paint scheme. He’s rare. If you would like to show him off, you might be interested in the Windstone forum: http://www.windstoneeditions.com/forums/
Members on there are always interested in seeing rare or unusual pieces! "

Wow, I love the detailing you put into your art. I love the whimsy in every piece, and I would buy your whole gallery if I could afford to. And if I had enough space in my house.

Hi Melody, i love your work....i actually have a few of your pieces from the years 1985 and 1986....i have one of the wizards from 1986 that had green felt on the bottom that says it was made in Taiwan which im guessing was put on at a later date. This piece has pea**** coloring on the body of the robe with pink and red on the cape, inner sleeve, and hip pouch. The face is different from most of the wizards that Ive seen. He has a wider nose and very light pink skin. He also has a green marble ball in his left hand. I was wondering if you could tell me a little about it. I can produce pictures if need be.

:-) Melody Pena replies: "Unfortunately that wizard is most certainly a knock-off of one of mine! Real Windstones will have either a grey felt on the bottom, or if they are very old, no felt at all. It is possible for them to have extra jewels and crystals sometimes, because stores have been known to glue on extra ornaments after purchase, but a Windstone wizard would never have a marble in place of a Swarovski chrystal.
This isn’t unusual. There are many fake Windstones around! We try to stop companies from producing them, but it is hard to stop the ones brought in from China and other places.
It is interesting to hear about your Wizard. I would like to see a picture anyway! You can email me at Reptangle(at)gmail(dot)com
Thank you for your comment! "
