A Pretty Penny

A Pretty Penny Unique Cut Coin Pendants, dates on the coins can match birth years or anniversaries. I have for many years been involved with crafts.

Commissions taken prices range from £15 to £60 depending on the amount of work I initially made rocking chairs from the green wood that I gleaned from my business laying hedges (an old traditional English countryside skill of making a fence from a hedge) , but after suffering shoulder damage and 2 operations, most of my chair making came to a halt. 2 years ago I turned my hand to making pendants f

rom coins, after a friend of mine showed me the basics. I want to take coin cutting to a different place to what I had already seen done by the few coin cutters out there, I wanted to use the coins as a medium, to create unique artwork where the date on the coin could be matched to wearer's birth year (or an anniversary that was important), making a really special gift. I love making these unique pendants, it is an honoured to be asked to do a commission, to be involved in producing a gift for someone deeply loved

Seven Pointed Star "The heptagram is known among neopagans as the Elven Star or Fairy Star. It is treated as a sacred symbol in various modern pagan and witchcraft traditions. Blue Star Wicca also uses the symbol, where it is referred to as a septegram. The second heptagram is a symbol of magical power in some pagan spiritualities."

For my friend Anna, who is recovering in hospital from meningitis. She is from Cyprus and I had 2 10 cent Cyprian coins, so I made her these. For me there is symbolism here, Life from decay 🙂

Merry Christmas and thank you to all who have supported me this year. Not just in buying my work, but in all the lesson I have learned from chatting with those who find my stall at craft events and festivals. One last coin as a present. Made this morning for Drew, who met me in Wells last year and wanted this Bear cut into a 2019 two pound coin. I wish the year new brings all that you need
