hi everyone... by now - you should be receiving your latest Queen's Courier magazine in your mailboxes... AND you should have seen the new Whale piece that Peter has carved... AND there will be a special edition of just 100 pieces available through two dealers in Hawaii!! ok... here is the correct email address for the dealer in Hawaii (there is an extra character in the one printed in the QC) AND I've managed to get the toll free numbers for those of you that want to call... I just spoke with Paula at Whaler's Village and she is a real sweetheart to deal with (and she is an avid collector too!) Mike Email address: [email protected] Toll free numbers: 800-632-0727 (Cindy) and 800-642-7020 (Paula) |

Hey Mike, did you find out how much they are charging for their edition of 100 and what the shipping charges will be? I asked Lisa and she wasn't sure... I also asked what the color variation would be for the other 650 released and was told that is would be very similar, just a slight color difference, but the general releases won't have the inscriptions of Lahaina * Maui and I believe, Shirley's, Cindy's & Paula's names are also include somewhere on the edition of 100. Thanks in advance for any info, Ann |

Ann, Apparently shipping to/from Hawaii is more expensive. But not outrageous. The Aloha version of "Jump for Joy" was/is $94.00 with $10 shipping. I talked to Paula again just a few minutes ago and she said that they have all ready sold out half of the edition size :-) As far as what is different between the Aloha version and the std release... my info is the same as yours... the Aloha version will have Paula, Cindy, and Shirley's name's on the piece along with the name Lahaina, Maui... and there will be a slight but noticable color variation (exacty what, I do not know yet).

Thanks Mike, here's more info regarding the differences between the two releases.. pictured below is the Open Edition: | Jump For Joy Artist: Peter Calvesbert Item #: TJWH8 Made In England Marble Dust & Resin Release Date: Oct 2008 Dimensions: 2.75 x 2.75 x 3.25
| | Secrets: Peter has carved two versions of “Jump for Joy�? his beautiful humpback whale box figurine. He signed Version 1, which was created in a small edition of only 100 pieces for Hawaiian HK dealer Lahaina Scrimshaw. It has a very smooth finish as well as special inscriptions. “No fish�?refers to the whales not feeding in the Hawaiian waters. “Na Kohola�?is Hawaiian for humpback. HK Sales Director, Shirley Mullen, will be visiting Maui in January 2009 and will get to see the humpback whales that migrate to the warm breeding areas there; hence the inscription “Shirley�?on the lid. The names of the ladies at Lahaina Scrimshaw �?Cindy and Paula �?are inscribed on the piece as well. Within this box figurine are a school of happy fish (they know they won’t be eaten)! “Au Au�? a deep channel off Maui that is favoured by the humpback, is written on the base. And lastly, Peter’s signature mouse is surrounded by bubbles, representing the way the whales sometimes feed by ‘bubble netting�?their prey. The open edition version of “Jump for Joy�?has a slight textured finish.“Kanaloa�? inscribed on the lid, refers to the god of ocean animals. The humpback’s Latin name, “Megaptera Novaeangliae�?(meaning “long winged New Englander�? is also inscribed on the piece. The interior contains a drunken sailor in a dinghy. He has been swallowed by the whale, to make up for all the whaling over the years. A second mouse being “bubble netted�?is included on this version. |
