The 'gothic unicorn' in some of the stranger colors we never did. The brown one is patterned after a Barbados sheep.(I hope I spelled that right).The horns are gold plated pewter.The sculptures are both castings of the same piece, in plaster.

In the age where ’unicorn’ has come to be represented by a horse with a horn (*raises hand* guilty), its really nice and refreshing to see that people actually have looked back in time to Mideival times to see how they were represented early on. These are beautiful pieces and the colours are stunning! I love the black and white ’pinto’ style. They’re absolutely adorable.

:-) Melody Pena replies: "Thank you! I am glad you like these. I do lots of horsie unicorns too, and love them as well. But the goatie looking ones are my favorites."

I’ve been collecting Unicorns since I was 17, I looked up one day and had more unicorns then space. So I decided to collect only laying Unicorns. Two of my most precious possesions is the Unicorn and child by you and this huge laying unicorn my husband bought me from woolsworth ( anyone remember woolsworth stores)
I LOVE the pose. There is something very magical to about a Unicorn that lays in our prescence.

:-) Melody Pena replies: "Wow, thank you! you must have quite a house full!"

I had a white one that looked like this and sold it on ebay for about $100. I only payed like $6 for it at a pawn shop.

:-) Melody Pena replies: "That was a find! These are out of production right now, so many people are looking for them! Isn’t it fun to find stuff like that at a pawn shop? Wait , you mean somebody PAWNED one of my things?? HA! Thank you for the comment!!"

very cute, though the horns are a tad bit long for a unicorn. very creative and curious, though. i like it.

:-) Melody Pena replies: "Yes he has a very long horn. He is based on the gothic unicorns that are pictured in old prints. Those unicorns had short goat tails and really long horns.
Thank you for the comment!"

I have a young black windstone unicorn id love to know more about. He is marked Pena91. Is he rare or anything like that?

:-) Melody Pena replies: "Yes, the black ones are rarer than the white ones.
Here is a link to the Windstone forum if you would like to have more info. Somewhere on there ( I couldn’t find it) is a link to a database of the selling price of the pieces that have sold on ebay. It is called "Ravenhearts database"

Melody, I owned the white one when he first debuted and cherished him deeply. About nine years ago he was STOLEN from my house! I have searched everywhere for another one and to no avail. No other piece of gothic unicorn artwork compares to yours. What I wouldn’t give or pay to own another no matter what color he should be. Praying I come across another somewhere out there!

:-) Melody Pena replies: "We have these unicorns in black - here is a link to the Windstone online store:
