+GoldBugGirl Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) I'm happy to announce that my personal coin is going into production soon, thanks to Mike at Cache Addict! This is my original coin design, & I'm quite pleased with how the samples turned out. Cottage Garden Spring celebrates those informal pockets of traditional plants selected for a riot of color, fragrance, sentimental value, & ease of maintenance. Brimming with flowers, herbs, & fruit to refresh the spirit & delight the senses, a cottage garden is an intimate retreat that welcomes visitors to explore its secrets, or to simply sit & relax with a glass of lemonade. The front of the coin presents three charming springtime favorites: pansies, forget-me-nots, & bleeding hearts. The back is a compass rose design featuring a watchful Green Man, spirit of the vegetative world. Branches sprout from his face, representing the seasonal cycle of vitality, dormancy, & regeneration. Size: 1.75" diameter, 3.5 mm thick Trackable: Yes ("trackable at geocaching.com" & the tracking number appear on the coin's edge) Versions: Black nickel, antique bronze, & antique silver versions can be reserved at Cache Addict; a small number of polished gold AE's will be available for trade from me, after the order is delivered. Enamel: 11-13 soft enamel colors (depending on version), coated with clear epoxy Custom Icon: Possible, depending on sales Edited June 18, 2012 by Eartha Quote Link to comment
