+anne.and.eli Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) 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: http://www.asdesigned.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=72 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! Edited February 9, 2012 by anne.and.eli Quote Link to comment
+LewisClan77 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Very cool. I like the Cold Water best, but I am a sucker for Black Nickel. Quote Link to comment
+EyeD10T Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I like them all, but the cold water and the asian pacific are my favorite ones. Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I like the Warm Water best. It is a really beautful coin. Well done on the design. Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Asian Pacific is definitely my favorite one given the red and black are Canterbury colours. Very nice. Quote Link to comment
+ElliPirelli Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted 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. Will there be an artist edition as well? Quote Link to comment

+anne.and.eli Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment

+Ogima Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Very nice design! Before I make my reservation: is shipping to The Netherlands also possible for a reasonable fee? Quote Link to comment
+anne.and.eli Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted 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.

+anne.and.eli Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm going to be extending the reservation by a week to accommodate some requests I got.
