+GATOULIS Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Oh!!! I just saw that I missed a cointest!!! Well just for the record I will say the meaning of the flags! Starting from the red/yellow flag! Oscar (man overboard) Charlie (YES or Affirmative) Alfa (I have a diver down; keep well clear at slow speed) Charlie (Yes) Hotel (I have a pilot on board) Echo (I am directing my course to starboard) Golf (I require a pilot) Echo (I am directing my course to starboard) From the first letters comes the OAC HEGE. I just placed the way you can hear them too, and the meannings of the flags! Congratulations to the winner!! Beautiful coin Naomi!! And of course it is actually Geocache!!! Quote

+grodan & fiabus Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Hmm, turned the back to the computer for a couple of hours and look what happens... I missed out on a cointest. Bahh. Anyway, congrats to the winner. The flagtheme is an excellent idea for a mysterycache, we have one in Gothenburg called signal Flag. Thank you for the cointest and the beautiful coins you make. Glad to see you posting again. Karin. Quote
Flying Spaghetti Monster Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Merged contest thread into this one. Quote
+intolerable Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Doh, started with the wrong point, came up with Ocac Hege, was trying to think where I'd heard the name Hege before! Then I thought, DOH geocache!! Too bad wasn't the first thought! For such a good attempt and being such a good sport, lol, if you'd like, I'd be happy to send you out one of my trackable nerds You, too, Corey n Joey, Geo, and PSU...what the heck, I'm feeling generous, I'll send a little something to everyone who entered, send me your address!

+keewee Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Ready, Set, GO!!! They're up on the presale page now Got me one of each, and of the pins too. Awesome job Naomi!! Quote
+Butterfly_lady Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Yippee! I got some too..... Brilliant design. Gotta love those suncatcher designs. Quote
+mousekakat Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 I'm so glad you guys like them! Thank you!! Naomi Quote
+dflye Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Woo hoo, ordered some lighthouses and pins as well! Now I'm wondering what this snippet on the web page is about (didn't see reference to it in the newsletter, but didn't so much read it as go "Oooh oooh oooh, time to hit the store!!" ) first coin in our Nautical Inspirations suncatcher series Do tell, how many and how often? Quote
+mousekakat Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 There's a sneak peak a bit earlier in this thread.... you saw it already I don't know if I can come up with a number three, but I'm trying Naomi Quote
+dflye Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 There's a sneak peak a bit earlier in this thread.... you saw it already Oh yeah, the image I saw in a cointest thread earlier, I was so focused on the flags I didn't even think it was a different coin!! Now where did that first cup of coffee for the morning go.... Quote
+Hunter of Sock Monsters Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I just ordered one of each and am very excited to see this coin in person. I guess there is a benefit of getting up early after all Quote
+lake_wannabees Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 My order is in. Can't wait to add them to my nautical theme coins. Quote
+mousekakat Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) Since the pics on Oak's page aren't the best I thought I'd bring this post back to show them Here are a couple of pics taken with light shining through the coins so you can see the effect of the suncatcher This one is the antique silver with the lavendar and blue dark sky and mountain in the background and this is the shiny gold with the pink and yellow sunset sky. And this is the front of the antique silver front, And the shiny gold front... and man, shiny gold is HARD to get a pic of without any kind of reflection, dangit! Oh, and there is an artist edition up for sale here Naomi Edited May 1, 2008 by mousekakat Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I got a couple of these - thanks Naomi. This will be my first suncatcher-style coin and I'm very anxious to see it. Quote
+E.caballus Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) Almost thought they sold out already - nasty cached presale page from yesterday! Ordered one of each. Thanks for another beautiful design. This will be our fist lightcatcher coin - can't wait to see them in person. Now I feel better about missing the 3 AEs the other day. Edited May 1, 2008 by E.caballus Quote
+avroair Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Three hours left Are they available on ebay or geoswag? I'm confused. Quote
+E.caballus Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 The AEs (that I kept missing) were on ebay. Then I just got a pair at geoswag but I don't see the Ant Silver there right now. Quote
+mousekakat Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 Three hours left Are they available on ebay or geoswag? I'm confused. The regular version is available at geoswag and there were a few AE on ebay, but they are gone. Here is a direct link to the sales Naomi Quote
+VOFWG Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I just reieved the Suncather coins that I ordered .To say That these coins are great is an understatement.I thought the pics you took were nice,they pale in conparision,to the real deal. I hope you are going to bring more of this type of coin,to the table.Unbelieveable.Thanks for a work of ART!VOFWG Quote
+lake_wannabees Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I haven't gotten my coins yet but I did just win an AE version on ebay. Quote
+mousekakat Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 All ebay packages are in the mail Naomi Quote
+lake_wannabees Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 The race is on then. Which will get here first, ebay or normal ordering? Quote

+Hunter of Sock Monsters Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I just received my two coins about 15 minutes ago and I cant stop staring at them!! I love the porthole look of the back of the coins, while the saying on the front is a truly fitting statement for this coin. I'm torn on which coin I like better, the silver LE coin or the gold standard edition... The gold has a nice reflective look while the silver is more subdued but in my mind the subdued coloring of the silver sets off the suncatcher portion of the coin... Oh well I love both coins Now to figure out a way to hang one off the rear view mirror of my truck P.S. before I forget the images of the coin used in the contest, were those the Artist Editions? reason I ask is those images had the nautical flags around the border while the standard edition and limited edition I have dont have the nautical flags. one way or the other I still love these coins, just curious about the nautical flags...

Those would be the next coin in the series. If you look at the images again, you'll see that the suncatcher portion is a sailbut against a sunset. Quote

I am actually thinking of sending them to Oroborus (sorry if I butchered the spelling) to see if he can wire wrap a couple of them and include a place that I can hang a small prism from the underside of . I really am pleased with how this coin came out and I'm so very glad it's getting positive responses!

E&C got it right, the one with the flags is second in the series.... now, if only I could think of a good third in the series!! Naomi Quote
+ECplus3 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Ooh! How 'bout whales?! A couple of humpback whales breaching or a pod of orcas cruising with their dorsal fins out of the water! Quote
+mousekakat Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 I was thinking something along those lines, but a dolphin instead . Seagulls and a pier have also caught my fancy, so have a couple of other things... ahhh, decisions, decisions! Naomi Quote
+Hunter of Sock Monsters Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 so just create a 10 coin set whales seagulls/pier dolphin manatee sea lion etc Quote

+ThePetersTrio Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Got my 2 coins today - I have to admit that I absolutely adore them. However...both of mine have small blemishes on the blue (sea) part - one is like a dimple and the other is more like a scratch. I've never had a sun-catcher type coin before - is this a common error? Quote
+jangor Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Sitting on pins and needles waiting for the mail each day for our coin. They look stunning and can't wait to see ours. Great job. Quote
+lake_wannabees Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Just got mine last night but no chance to fondle them yet. Two of each metal and waiting now for the ebay auctioned AE version. Quote
+MustangJoni Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I got mine yesterday, and it is stunning! Great job! Quote
