Hand carved Moongazing Hare top pendant in a genuine Victorian shilling. The Hare collection is cut freehand with a jewellers saw so no two can ever be the same.
Mounted on a 45cm cord and gift boxed.
The hare was cut using hand tools in our workshop in Aude, southern France, and is ready to post. Custom orders are possible, but will take longer.

ABOUT MY WORK:
I use recycled materials and hand tools. Coins are either drilled and carved freehand, or for the more detailed pieces, a template is glued as a guide for the saw.
Some coin designs are beautiful in their own right and the cutting simply involves following the lines already there. For many of my designs though I use the coin as a canvas, superimposing a new image. I continue to push myself to create new and innovative pieces and try to push the limits of what I can achieve in terms of scale and detail.
There are many different inspirations and messages in my art. Key themes are around equality, justice, respect for each other and respect for our surroundings.
Because my work doesn't require any power I have a very compact and mobile workbench and have carved coins on mountains, beaches and next to rivers.
