Now the same griffin has been cast in plaster .I've been carving the details into it with metal tools,so you can still see the crumbs on it. Yes, that is my kitchen table I'm working on.

I bought two. One with a blue eye and one with red. I normally hate red eyes, but there was something about these eyes that seemed different to me. More black with the red.. maybe darker red. I dunno.
But I can't wait to get them. I don't know how to paint, but I'm gonna give it a try. If I fail with one, I'll just paint the other one white like the albino one and gloss it. lol

:-) Melody Pena replies: "I like to give white pieces a "tea" finish. I brew a strong cup of Earl Grey tea and soak a white unfinished piece in it. It sometimes comes out very nice, the problem is, this method is a little unpredictable. Have you read the tutorial on our website? It will help.(You have to instal "Adobe reader" first, to read it though) http://windstoneeditions.com/Paint%20your%20own%20tutorial.pdf Let me know how you are doing with this project!"

:-) Melody Pena replies: "No, no kits yet.. we are still kinda test marketing these guys .. seems most folks are totally able to work out the paint for themselves! I am glad you got one, let me know how he comes out!Thank you for stopping by!"

Where are people buying them? *is curious* and I actually didn't manage to ever find a tan one of your gryphs 8 I wish I could have...but Millenium had just basically opened when I first saw your black one

:-) Melody Pena replies: "Well, since you asked, these are available from us http://windstoneeditions.com/index2.htm or from ebay.( search in ebay under Windstone, we put batches of these up from time to time.( If you would like to see some examples there are many pictured on the Windstone "Paint your own" gallery on our website, and also on the live journal http://community.livejournal.com/windstone_ed/.

Is it begging?

:-) Melody Pena replies: " I am not sure what he is doing. I think he is holding his paws so they won’t break! Thank you for visiting."

I love this pose! He looks like he could either be begging or concealing some little treasure in his claws. I’m definately going to have to check on your website to see if this darling fella is still available! Keep up the excellent work!

:-) Melody Pena replies: "We are still making these, though they sell out fast in our store! Keep checking back!"

Nothing wrong with working off your kitchen table; I work off my kitchen table.
