+ECplus3 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Here is the finished artwork for my next coin. The mint has already returned a first draft, but there is a lot of work yet to be done. Tracking info will go on the coin's edge. I hope to have this ready for presale the end of July. PS: Just in case you are wondering, I started designing this long before I knew there was going to be a new Alice in Wonderland movie. Edited June 29, 2015 by Eartha Quote Link to comment

+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I LIKE it!! Reminds me of another li'l round thingy with a hole in it that I have... CF30 Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I like it! Did you do the drawing? Quote Link to comment
+scificollector Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Very Nice! I saw the artwork on your webpage before this and was wondering if/when it would be produced. Count me in for a couple. Quote Link to comment
cappazushi Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 This is one of the first coins that I have said to myself, "Okay, I must have this!" Also, I want that pathtag. Any advice on acquired said beauty? Quote Link to comment
+BlueMotmot Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I like this very very much!! Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I like it! Did you do the drawing? I did some of the drawing. There are some very talented and generous artists on the internet!! Once I had permission to use a piece that I wanted I pretty much ripped it apart using Illustrator and put it back together the way I wanted it. One of these days I'll learn how to draw on my own. BTW, I'm hoping to make it to Japan next year to help out some of the missionaries our church supports. Doesn't look like I'll get much caching done though... there are only 10 caches in Ishikawa Prefecture. Quote Link to comment
+Woyi and Waya Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hellooooo Alice! Will definately want one later Quote Link to comment
+drneal Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 add me to the want list...another post talked about doing a holographic image...maybe a thought for the cheshire cat...he could actually dissappear as the coin is moved. ILYK Quote Link to comment
+WeSeekCache Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 LOVE IT!!! Would love to purchase one when its ready. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I like it! Did you do the drawing? I did some of the drawing. There are some very talented and generous artists on the internet!! Once I had permission to use a piece that I wanted I pretty much ripped it apart using Illustrator and put it back together the way I wanted it. That is awesome -- I really do love the illo. I'm actually jealous 'cause it's wonderful. : ) Kudos to the artist(s) and to you for putting it together so well -- I especially love the Cheshire cat! I'll definitely be buying several of these. One of these days I'll learn how to draw on my own. Practice, practice, practice! : ) BTW, I'm hoping to make it to Japan next year to help out some of the missionaries our church supports. Doesn't look like I'll get much caching done though... there are only 10 caches in Ishikawa Prefecture. Well, if you have any chance to hang out in the Tokyo area for a little while, let me know, or if you have a decent layover in Narita/Haneda, let me know and I'll come meet you at the airport (if you don't mind). : ) Quote Link to comment

+LadyBee4T Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Every time I see the title of this thread it cracks me up. I named my nuvi Alice from the Jefferson Airplane song "Go ask Alice I think she'll know" Most of the time she does know the way but sometimes I just think she took the pill that made her small Quote Link to comment

sawlog21 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Nice indeed, My daughter wants one badly for her collection. Please keep us posted and where we can obtain one as well. Very nice design and work on your coin. Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Finally got some artwork back that approximates what I'm hoping to produce. Still some tweaks here and there. Quote Link to comment

+geo_taz Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 As the proud owner of the cache "Alice in Wonderland", this is a coin I would love to add to my collection. Quote Link to comment
+Vanelle Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Whimsical and fun. Nice job. Thanks for sharing the design development. Quote Link to comment
+Lauchi Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm really looking forward for this nice coin. Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Another update. Final artwork has been approved and samples are being made. Samples likely will not be ready in time for the Maritime Geobash and I am heading on vacation immediately after (not even staying to help clean up! ). So presales probably will not start until late July when I finally get a chance to see the samples. Quote Link to comment

+isjustus4 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Nice! I/m liking the Black Nickel versions!! I agree. Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Ditto -- love the versions (especially the black/purple) and can't wait to see the samples. Safe journey on your vacation! Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Alas, the samples will not make it to me before I go on vacation. I have asked that they not be shipped until July 21st so that FedEx won't send them back because they couldn't be delivered. I will hopefully be able to post photos provided by the mint sometime next week. Now back to planning my little event on Saturday and figuring out how to avoid the forecasted 20mm of rain.

+Jackalgirl Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Uh, duh, this obviously means you can't go on vacation! ; ) Just kidding -- have a great time, I hope your event goes really well and that the weather behaves! Quote Link to comment
+Manville Possum Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I would love to have some of those for my collection, and will try to obtain some when they become avalible. I just won't do presales anymore, a company once took my money for an order, then went out of business and dissappeared. I shop eBay for nice geocoins, I think it is a safer way of doing business.

+mekk Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Very nice! Can't wait to see the photos of the coins from the mint! This will definitely be on my want list! Quote Link to comment

+sweetlife Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Very Cool, Please keep us posted when these will will be ready for sale, we like to purchase 1. Very Beautiful. Thumbs up! Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 <crying> Oh, man, I want one of each! Maybe two! Those are NICE! Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 I have to talk to the mint about quality control while they are stoning them. They took a lot of metal off some of them while polishing -- especially the antique silver. The lines are too 'fat' for my liking. I want them all to be like the black nickel w/ orange enamel. Nice thin sharp lines. And a big grin on the Cheshire Cat. Quote Link to comment
+ThePetersTrio Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Wow those turned out great! Quote Link to comment
+anne.and.eli Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I love the contrast created by the gold and black nickel! All of them are gorgeous, though! Great job. Quote Link to comment
+Terrier Team Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 any word on how much one might put onself out on cost? Quote Link to comment
+drneal Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 put a gold coin we discussed aside for trade...great job on the coins! ILYK Quote Link to comment
