+Li-Z Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Any chance of reminting the Turquoise Enamel on Silver Metal? That would be great! I like the turqouise on silver metal tengwar best, but no one has them for trade! Quote Link to comment

+scavok Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I must admit I did the happy dance when I got one in the mail yesterday Ha ha thats great (: I just wanted to post to let people know that a presale for a remint with new (and old) finishes will be held soon. I have ordered samples of new colors/finishes (waaay to many - I couldn't decide on just a few) and they are in production. Once I can take photos sales will open.

I can't wait to see the new colors Hope the presale will be before I go on holiday and will be without internet.. Edited March 2, 2009 by Li-Z Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm expecting the samples along with the tree of life coins which are due to ship to me on March 10th. Preslaes for the tengwars should be as soon as I can take pics once they are received Quote Link to comment

+scavok Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 The samples arrived today and there are a couple that are just fantastic - really gorgeous that even made my jaw drop with the many samples I've gone through on these. There are a couple others that are quite nice and I'm proud to show off and will probably include in the sales, and then a couple more that will sit quietly in the back of my closet Presales will be held up for a while because of the tree of life issue, but once its all sorted I'll post the pictured on my website and set up presales for the reminting!

+scavok Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) The presale will be for 4 of the original finishes and 4 new ones. Red on Gold Turquoise on Silver Antique Silver Antique Bronze The 4 new ones that I picked are below. Click the images for big pictures. The last one is much better in the large image... Images of the other finishes that didn't make the cut are on my website in the shop. Purple on Silver - the enamel is almost opaque, but not quite. A thin layer is still translucent, but goes with the texture of the lowest levels of the coin. Light Blue on Antique Silver - similar to the turquoise one but a definite blue with a darker outer border give it great definition. Green on Antique Copper - I almost didn't offer this one until I really studied it. The dark green really goes well with the copper and while making it darker, it allows the light to shine off of the antiqued finish that is under it. Dark Blue on Antique Silver - One of my favorites now! I was initially disappointed that I couldn't see the underlying patterns very well. I decided to bring all the new coins to show some friends and out in the sun, with enough light to shine through, the deep color reveals the rest of the coin and is really something special. Be sure to view the larger image of this one . edit to add photo Edited March 20, 2009 by scavok Quote Link to comment

+Li-Z Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Received the newsletter in my mail just after I bought some coins ;-) I couldn't decide which ones I like best, they all look great!! From the old colors I've really wanted the turqoise tengwar from the first time I saw one, but never succeded to find one, so I ordered the turqoise. And the light blue must be beautiful too, so one of those as well. I like the natural colors of the copper one. And purple is my favourite color, so one purple (is the purple coin with soft enamels? It looks different than the rest) Now the time of patience begins..... can't wait to get them Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yes, the purple is a soft enamel. It wasn't as transparent as we hoped so it is a much much thinner coating which is why it only covers the very lowest levels and shows the texture as well as the line art. Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Here's a detail shot of the purple on nickel coin so you get a better feel for the layers... click it for a big pic. Quote Link to comment

+jonamok Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hurrah! Red on gold NAWWAL ordered for me, and light blue on silver for my better half. And presumeably my green on gold celtic tree of life will be on the way soon too! Good times indeed Quote Link to comment
+JohnMac56 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Man, what a choice to have to make... Which one(s) to order... Oh, to heck with it, ordered them all!!! Can't wait to get my grubby hands on these AWESOME coins!!! Quote Link to comment
+Vanelle Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 The green on copper! Can't wait to see it in person. I am very much a fan of the black?(dark purple?) soft enamel on bronze that is pictured in the images, but does not appear on the pre-sale list. Quote Link to comment
+DJ.J.ROCK Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) It will be a very good day when i get mine oh ive waited a long time for this. i even passed up a few on the e place cause i knew this day wasa commin soon Edited March 21, 2009 by DJ.J.ROCK Quote Link to comment

I am very much a fan of the black?(dark purple?) soft enamel on bronze that is pictured in the images, but does not appear on the pre-sale list. It is a nice finish but in hand it wasn't quite up to par with the rest of them. It really looks like bronze enamel on a bronze coin. Nice and all, but not special enough to run on a presale. I may order a dozen or so to sell later on, so we'll see Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hey everyone, I just wanted to share that including todays sales, the tengwar coin has now surpassed 1000 coins in total. I know that isn't much compared to some, but it makes me feel pretty good Quote Link to comment

+kehunt64 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I did not receive a newsletter about the new Tengwar coins but I am on the mailing list because I did receive the letter sent to everyone about the TOL delay. Edited March 21, 2009 by kehunt64 Quote Link to comment
+Fiery Searcher Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I, too, received the email about the Celtic Tree of Life delay, but nothing about the Tengwar pre-sales. I found out about those on the forums, and got two of each so I can trade when these come in. Quote Link to comment
