UPDATE! Pinwheel Re-design

Just a quick update (one that isn't hidden in another post like before) The pinwheels went through a redesign process to make them spin symmetrically. Below is the NEW art. I've also attached a picture of my color choices for the AE's and the color choices for the 2 VERY SPECIAL March of Dimes Auction coins!. I have 6 rainbow and 11 patriotic left for reserve. These AE's will be $15.00 each plus shipping ($3.50 for the first .50 each additional + $1.00 outside the USA). If you would like to reserve one please send an email to: Reservations@wicksworksdesign.com! No more than 2 of each design per person please!
Thanks
~J!
PS> These are being produced by Geoswag.com

The Lizards are here!!!

I'm so excited...after more than a year of waiting they are finally here, and completely sold out at Hogwild Stuff!!!

I heard rumors that these little guys made their debut at GW6, unfortunately I wasn't there to see their big reveal! Mine however arrived yesterday!!! I am sooooo thrilled to see how they turned out. Hogwild Stuff did a GREAT job getting these produced. I have a VERY limited number of these sets. ONLY 15 exist in my color scheme in fact. ONLY 10 sets of mine will be available for sale right now. Because these are so limited I will not be charging my regular $15.00/coin fee. I'm sorry. Please understand that this design went through over 26 re-designs (that was my last numbered version, I gave up counting after that). I did these all by hand and trying to get them to fit just right, well it's was beyond frustrating. So my price for this Limited Artist Edition is $60.00 per set. If you would like a set please drop me an email.

Cereal Artist on the Loose!

Last night I was posting in the pathtags forums and made a remark about the community there being great! All I heard in my head after that was "They're Grreat!" so what did I do? Made a pathtag design of course. Oh but I didn't stop there! Coming soon to my website (it's loading right now) and available for sale like the other Ready Made tags are:

The Fans are here!!!


That was fast! They are here and I am in the process of filling orders from my reserve list. Once those orders are full the remainder will go on ebay. I did get fewer than expected so we'll see how this turns out.

Coins on the way!

I got notice yesterday that TWO of my designs are in the mail on their way to me as I write this! I'm soooo excited. Both the Chinese and Japanese Fans have been put into the mail and should be here next week. These have been a long time coming. I designed them last year, kinda by accident. Originally it was one coin. It had the Wall of China on one side and some Cherry Blossoms on the other. When I showed it to my husband he said it was nice but that Cherry blossoms were more representative of Japan! He should know, he loves all things Eastern. So I went back to the drawing board so to speak. I had ton find something that represented Japan and a flower for China. What I got was the Tori Gate for Japan and Lotus Flowers for China and TWO fan designs! These have been produced by Oakcoins. Thanks Christian and Emma for all you have done! I really appreciate it and love working with you!

Next, another super design that was started a long time ago. I actually have no idea what they will be officially called, but they are my MC Escher Lizards. Since I was a little girl I've been fascinated by the art of MC Escher. Starting with the picture Metamorphosis. I thought the lizards would be a great and fun addition to Geocoins. After designing these babies I have a renewed respect for Mr. Escher. I know his Lizards were geometrically formed, I like to think of them as Math based. This is probably the best way to make them so that they fit together properly, but I'm not good at geometry so I freehanded them. Over 21 attempts (I stopped counting then) to get them to each fit into one another in every angle. Try it for yourself when you see them! They will fit together in every position! Special thanks goes to Steve and Sharon at Hogwild Stuff for making these Lizards come to life!!!

Pictures of both to come as soon as I have them!!!

Web updates, designs & more.

In case you haven't noticed my website has had some updates. This was excruciatingly time consuming!!! I use the Yahoo site builder because they are my host. I have frontpage, but the yahoo one was a whole lot easier, until recently. I've been a bit annoyed that I had to move every image every time I added more to the page. I've looked at gallery programs but honestly, I'm just not that technologically advanced yet! So I thought back and remembered tables. So I've been putting all the designs into tables so all I have to move is the tables. Seems easy enough. Apparently there is some bug in the site builder because I would add an image and it would crash. Id get back in, rinse and repeat until I got fed up enough to hard boot down my computer and start all over again. This happened many, many times...grrrrr

But, as a result, the site it nicer, I hope!

I have been very very busy lately between organizing the Tag of the Month and regular orders, but I did notice some of my completed work in the galleries!


And lastly I've received the NEW art for the Pinwheels!!!!! They have a new petal and will spin symmetrically! I am SOOOOO excited about these!
