NEW COIN: Elemental - water

1.6k · February 9, 2012

Hi all!

I'm doing reservations (I will bill you once the coins have arrived. No money required now) for my new coin. It is hopefully the first in a series. Reservations will be closed February 18th.

These are 2" in diameter, imitation hard enamel, moons are glow in the dark (except for the Asian Pacific one). I am really pleased with these, they scales on the fish are super shimmery!

Trackable. $10/each.

You can pre-order here:

Polished gold metal, turquoises, aquas, greens, glow in the dark moon. This one reminds me of the warm waters in Hawaii, where the colors tend towards vibrant green.

Black nickel, purples, deep blues, glow in the dark moon. Cooler tones reminiscent of cooler waters.

Black nickel, grey scale, red translucents. Graphic and bold, with a nod to the flag of Japan on the back. The art is very much inspired by Japanese culture, and I wanted a version that paid homage to that fact.

If there is enough interest, I may do another run of these in the future, with new colors.

Thanks everyone!

Very cool. I like the Cold Water best, but I am a sucker for Black Nickel.

February 9, 2012

I like them all, but the cold water and the asian pacific are my favorite ones.

February 9, 2012

I like the Warm Water best. It is a really beautful coin. Well done on the design.

Asian Pacific is definitely my favorite one given the red and black are Canterbury colours.

Very nice.

February 9, 2012

You've outdone yourself! These are just beautiful, thank you very much for this design.

As for the colours, I like cold and warm water best, but all three are stunning.

Made reservations, these are a must have. :anicute:

Will there be an artist edition as well?

Thanks everyone! I'm really pleased that you like them!

There may be an AE in the future, but there isn't one at this time.

I have mostly finished art for air, a finalized idea for fire, and have been brainstorming earth.

Very nice design!

Before I make my reservation: is shipping to The Netherlands also possible for a reasonable fee?

1.6k · February 12, 2012

My shipping prices are

US, Canada: $2.50 first coin, $.50/coin after (flips to flat rate priority mail at $6.50, 9+ coins)

International: $3.50 for the first coin, $1/coin (flips to flat rate priority mail at $16.50, 15+ coins)

The cost of shipping has been rising, and I will likely need to adjust this in the future, but they will stay this rate for these coins.

Thanks, fair enough.

I'm gonna make the reservation right now.

I'm going to be extending the reservation by a week to accommodate some requests I got. I will post the new reservation end date when we get it nailed down. In the meantime, more time to consider getting a coin or two!

1.9k · February 19, 2012

I reserved a whole set of these on February 11th, but I have not received any kind of confirmation email. Should I be concerned? Do you have my reservation?

February 22, 2012

Wow. I hadn't even noticed the Pisces reference. The series is elemental, and I've been working on the air coin.

Last chance for reservations! I will only be getting a few extras (to cover shipping issues) so this is your chance to get them.
