mould and laptop and non-art babble EDIT-windstone

News and Fun Happenings  

EDIT: :star: I had to share this story because it's really awesome!

So me and my mom, brother, and my friend all went garage sailing. Basically saturday mornings people put out tables of crap they want to sell on their driveway and put up signs. So we were looking for furniture mostly, and were doing really well. Then we went to one that had mostly toys, and I noticed this sparkly purple dragon. The second I saw it I thought windstone editions, and picked it up, and sure enough it was solid resin. And I looked, and they had MORE.

Long story short, I got 4 of them for $25CDN. Some were broken a bit, but still. My mom was mad I wanted all of them and I was like trying to hint to her without the lady noticing to haggle. There was one small one that had a price on the bottom, $93.99. And the others were all like 10x as big, lol!

You can see on their site, but the 4 dragons, one is the "coiled", "oriental", "old warrior", and "male". I showed my mom the site and she was blown away, it's like $700 of dragons. I've always wanted something by windstones, I was so excited.

So yeah, I just thought I'd share that, I assume there's some windstone fans on here :) garage sales... amazing what can be found lol


I got the fur for my giant horse, and the hair should have arrived by now. I'm not at home. Then I just need to paint it and do the hooves and it's done! I had fun sticking all the fur on. I will take a new pucture soon.

Well, a while ago I was in my closet getting something and noticed it was wet in there, and basically there was a ton of mould all over the walls in my 2 closets. So I had to take my room apart and cover everything and go home for a week while it got fixed. My housemates are all moving in now, so they're at the house which is cool. I think I'm going back sunday night.

Basically I haven't done art since that happened. I got so stressed when I found it and everyone was telling me I had to move, it was stupid. SO yeah. That zenyatta picture spawned from that particular escapade :XD:

Hmm my laptop is also messed up. It froze for no reason, and it never does that (like the mouse button wouldn't move even) so I turned it off, and left it then turned it back on, and all this weird shit comes up, telling me it needs a source to boot from. So I'm not sure if I just need to put the windows disk in and let it reinstall that, or what. Luckily my school has a free repair thing for computers. Bah!

Yeah so I've been in a crappy mood and have not done any art. And school starts soon. I have to go register and get my osap and buy textbooks and all this stuff, but hopefully everything goes smoothly. My class schedule this year is light because I have a full online credit. So mondays and fridays I have one class at 9:30am. Which is good, and bad, because it's too tempting to skip, lol. But I'm happy with it overall. I have one evening course too, go me.

So, hope you enjoyed that general non-art update. :D I hope to paint some unicorns soon and draw some more racehorses :D

It is really amazing what you can find at garage sales! What you found was intriguing...All the Windstone castings I have known were all made with a type of ceramic/plaster. I never heard of the company using resin. You really might have something valuable!

Oh, maybe it is plaster. Definitely something heavy and solid!

Can't wait to see it done. I'm sure it will be amazing. My old laptop did something like that but it never turned back on afterwards. I've got the laptop I'm writing from now and it's alot better so, in a way, I'm kind of glad my old one broke. We started back at school on Thursday and I'm already panicking as we have our first set of GCSE exams in November.

I'm sure yours is probably fine. My one was second hand and by old I mean it was one of those big chunky ones that was so slow it took 5 mins to start up.
