+ThePetersTrio Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 ~Little Wing~ Hello cachers and coiners! I am pleased to tell you about a new coin I designed for Hogwild Stuff. This has been a long time in the making as it includes moving parts that open and close as part of the charm. My idea germinated after seeing a child's party invitation with a ladybug whose wings opened up to reveal the party description and details. On this coin, the wings move to the open position to reveal the text "Fly on Little Wing" which may sound familiar to those Jimi Hendrix fans out there. After coming up with the first side, the trick was to make the flip side of the coin also work with the moving "wing" part of the ladybug. I knew immediately that I wanted to use a flower and have the petals open up. I decided that a tulip would work with the closed shape of the ladybug and after a little help from Jamie of Mad Hatters Neverland, we came up with this: Pink Tulip Orange Tulip Red Tulip And my AE Purple Tulip which is not available for sale through the website. Please email me through my profile to discuss trades for other AE or LE coins. Each coin is trackable with a unique icon. The coins are 1.75 inches tall, 1.15 inches wide (closed) and 2.20 inches wide (open). The above colors (pink, orange, red) are available in antique gold or antique silver finishes. As the sale was pre-advertised to Hogwild Stuff members, the red antique gold coins have already sold out! To order, please visit the Hogwild Stuff website: HERE Thanks for looking! Quote
+Howlingmoon Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I ordered one of the AG Red versions a few days ago, and it was in the mailbox yesterday. Tis an awesome coin, and I'm glad I ordered it. Quote
+Vanelle Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I ordered one of the red ones, too. The coin is great, nice job. It reminds me of a necklace I had as a girl. It was a butterfly just like the coin, and the wings hinged open. Underneath was a small watch, so you could tell time. Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 I should also point out that my photo of the orange tulip doesn't really do it justice. The color is actually a peachy-orange color and I think they are very beautiful even though I lean toward jewel-toned coins. But then again, I am biased. Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I think this is such a cute coin! Nice job on the design tsun Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I ordered a couple a while back, and they recently came in the mail. I love them -- I love how the wings work and how the coin works two images into its shape. It's just an awesome little coin. Thank you! Quote
+anne.and.eli Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I originally got two of these coins, but they were so charming that everyone I showed them to immediately fell in love with them! So I gave away the first set, and then ordered one of each color in the AS. Now I can't decide which one I want to keep. The little ladybug hidden in the petals is the perfect touch. That purple version is gorgeous!!! Hrmmm I wonder what I have that's trade worthy... Quote
ELTADA Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Beautiful! Another one for the seeking list! Quote
+Cache*Hopper Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I really like these. I just might have to order a couple Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 The little ladybug hidden in the petals is the perfect touch. I give my 12 year old daughter full credit for this part of the design. She'll be thrilled that you liked it! And I appreciate all the very nice comments. Thank you. Quote
LoriDarlin Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I ordered a couple of these and am so happy with them...they are SO cute...nice job Quote

YemonYime Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) What a creative idea! Very nicely done TPT! Edit to add: I had to fire up both the Jimi and SRV versions of the song to get 'em out of my head. Edited September 28, 2009 by YemonYime Quote

+ZeroHecksGiven Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I gotta sell a thing or two via eBay before I can afford to buy one, but this is on my list to must haves, such a cool idea! Quote
