+tsunrisebey Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Interesting day today after all the hiking and placing caches, I come home and a forest fire breaks out behind my place. Fortunately, it was small and the firefighters got on it right away So, finally getting a chance to get some pics up. These are the pics of the Antique Silver/Black Nickel version. These don't show up as shiny in the pics like the gold ones do but in hand they will be nice and shiny with that great translucent look! There are a couple less color fills with this version to allow for the exposure of the nice antique silver metal, why waste that effect? On the front of this one, the 2 right side shell pieces are both translucent purples (one dark, one lighter). The sun portion is a lighter blue, orange and red translucent mix, and the paw prints are done in red translucent. You can look at the gold version to get an idea of how the colors will look in person The head and legs of the turtle were done in a 'mossy green' translucent. These will be so neat in hand! I even ordered some for myself. On the back, you can see the nice greens and blues for translucents. I put the gold ones back up just so you could visualize what the copper coins will look like, pretend the gold is copper and there you have it! If i get a photo sample of the copper prior to sale, I will post it. Fill in the back here with orange translucent and visualized copper metal CACHE WITH CARE (saying on back) There ya have it, and to all of you going to MWGB, have a great time! tsun Quote Link to comment

Oh, I wanted all right! Got an emailed copy of the order, hope all is well....kind of feel bad for jumping the gun, but hey, it just fell off the shelf info my shopping cart, who was I to resist temptation!
