+007BigD Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 COINTEST IS CLOSED Kay, lemmee take a bit to finish what I was doin and I will pull the numbers. I gotta keep it simple and use a Random Number generator. How it will work is Ill do my personal(s) first, then CF30's Yaahl's feathers. If anyone of the winners of Yaahls feather already won a feather, you will be givin a signature item when they all arrive and another name will be chosen from the same random list I make tonight. It'll take me a bit to work through the yaahl winners so give me time. If you won a sig previously, you can win a coin, but not a sig...If you won a coin, you can win a sig, but not a coin. Once I have all sigs in hand, I will use the same random list and just keep goin till they are all gone Sound fair? Gimmee some time on this one kay? Quote Link to comment

+nashuan Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Here is a picture of some of the sig items in my collection and some of mine that I am working on. You can see why I say I screwed them up!! LOL LadyBee4T, I don't hink you screwed up. Until you mentioned the missing faces, I didn't even notice. Remember that you are going to be your harshest critic. I think they're great. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to 007BigD for starting this thread. I've really enjoyed reading (and re-reading) the posts here. Some newbies posted questions about geocoins recently and I made sure to post a link to this thread so that they can see examples of inspired sig items. I have been very impressed with a lot of the entries here and only wish that I could work out the ideas for me to make my own sig item I've gotten a lot of great ideas here, hopefully I can come up with something I like Quote Link to comment

I made some other sig items out of the large flat marbles with the same image and some dye inks. I turned them into magnets for a geochicks event. I have triedseveral times to add the pic and cannot seem to! I might add it to my picture..... Edited June 25, 2008 by sweet yet evil Quote Link to comment

+lordzogat Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Guess I should pay closer attention to this thread...LOL I see I won for the recently submitted Moon Token that needs to have a mold formed first before I can make replicas from the master. The paint scheme will be the same as the Hex, but will be available in other worldly offlandish colors Similar to the various colors found on my space themed mini Catan tiles. You can see the possibilities are endless for a outerspace moon. Thanks again Guys. Edited June 26, 2008 by lordzogat Quote Link to comment

+007BigD Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I tried to change the title and remove the word "Cointest" back to what it was originally, but the mods are reviewing it over with Groundspeak to see if it can even stay here. Afterall it turned into alot of sig items...But most were coinshaped!!! I tried to obide by the rules with the title and topic, but hey- I am sure it will do well wherever it ends up. I also wanted to merge it with the older topic after it dropped behind a few pages, but unsure LFD's will be able to hang around aswell, as I hear They're workin on it, so just hang tight!

+willox96 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Here's my version of a wooden coin/token/nickel. It's that same size and thickness as a regular coin. The wood is cherry and the image is laser etched into the wood. I think they turned out awesome. They look much better in person. Let me know what you think.

+parker313 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Well, I went to pull out my polymer clay bag and I can't find it!!! I've got a super cool idea in my head so I sketched it out, but I can't find my stuff! We just moved in March and I do have an art room (well, closet really) and I don't know where on earth it would be if not in there. :: pout pout :: So, I hopped online and ordered some more (the boys were sleeping) and now I just need to wait for it to get here. I do have a bunch of handmade earrings, bracelets, cell phone charms (that I sell on Etsy) so maybe I could make some jewelry, but that could get expensive and is pretty gender specific.

+parker313 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) I found my bag of clay! I didn't have all the colors I was hoping to (the geocaching colors), but did have dark green and white, which worked out since I was hoping to do a pine tree (living in Pinehurst and all, TONS of pine trees everywhere) for the center of my design. It turned out REALLY bad. I got more clay and did a better job today. The botched design from last night got repurposed, and combined with purple I made some nice butterfly "coins" that really look more like flowers. Today I got some more clay, made another attempt at a pine tree and turned out much better. It's all baking right now, I'll get some pics when they're out. They will all be combined in different ways to make zipper pulls. I'll put 'em in a baggie with a business card size calling card with my caching ID on it. I'll upload pics in just a minute, but my caning skills are NOWHERE near the other members who have posted ETA - Coming soon to a cache near you (if you live in NC )........

Here's the one someone will get I would love to find something like this in a cache! Beautiful work and a great item for a cacher to find. I have one of those.

+Snoogans Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I smash coins for my sig item... I have been having loads of fun pressing different kinds of coins from all over the world. My favorite coins to smash are pesos and British 1 penny coins. They look really cool. 8 of the 12 front images and 1 back image are geocaching related. Here they are. Tell me what you think: My favorite sig coin is the 2 peso piece. These will be rare and given away as an extreme compliment to whomever receives one. A Bahamian Coin The die for this coin was damaged at the factory and has already been replaced. continued Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Here is a sample of what I pressed for GW6 I traded this one to TethysC for one of his awesome ammonite coins: There are about 20 more pics right here. And dozens more pics on my geocaching.com and myspace profiles. Quote Link to comment

+ChaseOnTheGo Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I have a wooden nickel that I made from scratch. I pine and cherry wood and glued them together. I then put it through a joiner to cut the edges off. Next, I spun the wood on my lathe and cut every quarter of an inch off. Here is what it looks like (they're trackable too): -ChaseOnTheGo Quote Link to comment
