Iridescent Dreams: Reservations CLOSED

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody :D

 

Well I gave a sneak-peek of this coin over in the mailbox thread so I guess I better start a thread for it.

 

Had a sale the other day which included this coin and after all the emails, guess it would just be easier to open a thread and discuss it without having to reply to everyone.

 

Anyhow, long story short, the version I am going to post was originally coming to GCF with me to sell as a vendor. At first I was going to GCF for fun, then I decided to vendor so there would be more vendors (lol) and then after more vendors signed up, figured there was now plenty and they didn't need me B) So I said, I am coming and went to the original idea of going to have fun, no stress. I lived in MN for a number of years growing up and I'm a die-hard Vikes fan, so I want to run around and not be tied down :grin:

 

So I got all these coins in and there's more on the way :rolleyes: I didn't want to hang on to them, so I elected to have an "unannounced" sale. Loaded all the Pegasus, Dragonflies and Neptunes in the store and then made the announcement there were coins for sale. Apparently a large number of you have nothing better to do than wait for coin sales :D Everything sold out in under an hour (not bad for throwing a surprise sale out there).

 

I didn't mint many of these coins since I had to ship them to MN for the event along with bunches of other coins.

There were 50 of both platings (BN and Gold). So not exactly many of these done. The sale allowed for only 1 of each version to maximize amount of people who could order.

 

Anyhow for all those that emailed me wondering where the coins were or if more would be available, the answer is yes :) When I come home from GCF, I will open up this design for reservations (along with Pegasus and Sea of Treasures), so don't worry, you will have plenty of time to get one :)

 

If people really like the color scheme below, I will consider opening that color up for reservations also. I haven't really taken the time to sit down and think about what I'll do yet and have left the option open to mint these editions again.

 

Trackable/Unique Icon/ 2" in diameter/ 3mm thick/ Small hole/

 

This edition is called the Meadowhawk. My photo below is part of the inspiration behind the coin :) As a matter of fact, the day the samples arrived, I came home to a yard full of these dragonflies.

 

I hope this answers questions that some of you had.

 

Thanks for the support as always, you guys totally rock!

I guess I got lucky and logged into facebook at the right time... I placed my order for this one and others, ate some dinner and returned to see they all sold out very quickly!

 

I must say, although the sale was unannounced, and some missed out, it was great NOT to be stressed out on an infamous F5 tsun sale! :rolleyes: my blood pressure thanks you!

 

 

BTW Steph, great design! can't wait to see it in person... :D

I GOT A DRAGONFLY

 

I turned the computer on just in time for the sale. Got through checkout quickly with a dragonfly and then noticed on confirmation that I forgot to add the others to my cart. Went back into the store to reorder but TO LATE THEY WERE GONE.

 

I'm always to slow for your sales so this was FANTASTIC. THANKS

I second that!

 

I caught just the tail end and could only get a Pegasus, but not the color I wanted. If anyone got an extra Spirit of Ancestors I will trade a Dreamtime for it.

Very nice! Are you planning any other color variations?

 

Yes :rolleyes: I only made 1 version to sell at GCF and this was it. It was a lasy minute decision on my part to even mint the design for GCF, so I didn't even bother with other color combos for samples, too much in a hurry to get it done. There probably won't be a Steelers version though :D hahahaha.

Not that you asked for opinions or anything, but I offer mine away...

 

You do such a fine fine job of combining colors that I want to see more and different color combos...

 

Well thank you :D

 

This design lends itself to being the perfect opportunity to be the translucent junkie you have all come to know and love :) After GCF, I'll be pondering colors and metals with a big smile on my face. I've got lots of ideas :D I may use this design much like the Cache Hoppers and keep it as an "in stock" item although I have yet to keep anything "in stock" for some odd reason :)

Ohhh, I can't wait. And I love the idea of in stock coins, even if they don't seem to stay :)

When I think of a dragonfly, I think of blues and greens. And these are my favorite colors too. So here's to hoping!! :D

Thanks for the reservations, we love these little guys! We had the most beautiful Dragonflies flitting around our creek this year, with iridescent blue bodies and jet black wings, they were positively magical! :):D

 

julia51 - is this the insect to which you refer?

These are commonly called Ebony Jewelwings, and are actually Damselflies. They are gorgeous! Population declines have been observed in parts of their range, causing them to be listed as species of conservation concern in some states.

WOW!!! :rolleyes:

 

 

It goes without saying that tsun outdid herself again with this design. I held it in my hand for about 30 seconds and it was confiscated by Mrs. LL, Who said "Thank you hun, it's gorgeous!" I failed at any attempt to recover it as I was told to "get another one" ...

 

 

 

... as you can tell Mrs. LL doesn't understand that I can't just "get another one" so easily... I'll have to wait till she falls asleep to plan a recon mission for it's recovery...

 

 

Another great design Steph!

 

 

:rolleyes::rolleyes::unsure:

Yes it is, thank you! They graced our little creek for a good while this summer but haven't seen them for awhile now. Terribly dry here in MD, may have something to do with it.

I will be starting reservations for the new editions tomorrow after I get home from work. Those on Facebook have seen some pictures of upcoming versions. I will have all the information on how to reserve coins posted after I get home from work. I will keep the reservations open until Sunday evening.

 

There will be future minting of more colors down the road but this minting I decided to try a couple of different combinations that I wouldn't normally do. There are a couple of "typical" tsun color versions also.

 

Here are the editions you'll see tomorrow: Montana Oro y Plata, Tsun Select (limit 1 coin per person), Nutella Delight, Black n Glow, Vikings Gold, and The Blues Brothers (can only be ordered as a pair).

 

See you tomorrow with details :)

Thank you to everyone who has placed a reservation so far. I have replied to all emails (right Trasi? :P).

 

So far the sets seem to be the most popular. Individual coins that are most popular (top 3) are Tsun Select, Black and Glow, and Oro y Plata.

 

I have been wearing my sample coins to work and by far the women at work love the Oro y Plata, Tsun Select, and Blues Brothers the best. Although none of them geocache, they are placing orders too for necklace pendants :D (minus the tracking #'s).

 

My favorite is the Oro y Plata version, I think it looks really classy.

 

Thanks again for the support, it's much appreciated.

Just wrapped up confirmation emails to all reservations received last night through today. If you didn't get a response from me, I didn't get your email.

 

Results are Oro y Plata pulling ahead by a short lead, followed by Black n Glow for non-set orders :)

 

Looks like when it's time to ship, I will have some serious packing to do :D

 

Thanks again everyone, I look forward to getting these ordered and eventually getting them to their new homes.
