“Today is a great day for Canada and, therefore, the world.” -South Park, awhile ago (and anyone who hates fascism today) #canada #handmade #artsky #jewelry

Ok, last one for today and it’s cheating a bit since both coins are wheat pennies, but I’ve always loved this shamrock-on-enamel look. #shamrock #stpatricksday #handmadejewelry

Irish bracelet I did as a custom order. #irish #stpatricksday #handmadejewelry

I always showcase my Irish coins on #StPatricksDay but, honestly, they are some of the coolest ones any time of year. I’ll post a few did ones throughout the day today, lemme know if you have a favorite!

Happy Mario Day! (A little late) #artsky #nintendo #mario #handmadejewelry #mushrooms

Cutting out a Samoan National Park quarter. #bats #babybat #handmadejewelry #artsky #art

Cutting skull coins always has me asking which coin would make for the best design? I’ve done state quarters, Irish coins, pesos, and more, but I think this Greek drachma might just be my favorite (it’s this or a different drachma, so either way, cool coins, Greece!) #handmadejewelry #art #handcut

People often ask how I get the blade into the coin and the answer is lots and lots of tiny drill bits. #artsky #workinprogress

Just like a snowflake, no two cut-coins are exactly alike (but I try to get it really, really close!). Handcut into an Iowa quarter. #handmadejewelry #art #artsky

I call my enameled wheat pennies with cut coin pendants my Pop Coin series and it’s always a blast picking and choosing color combos and shapes. #enamel #coin #handmadejewelry #popart

The Packers D has looked great so far…if the offense remembers they’re allowed to throw it to the team in white, this second half could be veeeerrry interesting. #gopackgo

Happy #caturday , Bluesky! #cats #bigstretch

I think the Buffalo nickel is one of the coolest coins in American history, and they look pretty good as earrings to boot! Do you have a favorite coin? #neatstuff #artsky #art #buffalo #handmadejewelry

On this day in 1788 Connecticut became a state. A mere 200+ years later and it became one of the most annoying-to-cut state quarters in my inventory 🤦🏻‍♂️ #handmadejewelry #artsky #trivia #historicalfacts

Win or lose, that throw to Heath made this whole game worth watching! WOW!!! #packers #gopackgo

When all I wanted was to enter the Wild Card round injury-free and with a little momentum, this might be he hardest game to watch of all year :/

Usually I’d say there’s no better way to spend a Sunday in January than watching Bears-Packers on a noon kickoff. Usually -_- Sigh. #gopackgo #nfl #packers

Happy Sunday! This is one of my favorite pieces, not just because the puzzle looks cool, but I also made my very first #stopmotion with it! Scratching 2 creative itches at once. #artsky #handmade #crafty #puzzles

It’s been over a quarter of a century since the state quarter program (aka my jewelry bread-n-butter) released! They did 5 per year starting in 1999 and I have cut them all many, many times over. First up was Delaware, ft. Caesar Rodney riding to vote for independence. #historicalfacts #artsky

Happy New Year! Ringing in 2025 with a handcut silver(bells) liberty half-dollar! Available on my site, link in bio. #newyear #handmadejewelry #happynewyear #silverjewelry

Happy Monday, Bluesky. As 2024 is coming to a wrap, make like the classics (and others) and smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. My favorite is the Plato cut from a Greek drachma, how about you? #art #smokers #philosophy #handmade

50 cent piece from The Land Down Under. With holidays coming to a close soon, I’m looking forward to getting back in the studio and working on some brand new coins. #handmadejewelry

Found it! I started doing these portrait coins mostly to amuse myself but really love how they just look like a messy jumble of lines until you hold them up to the light. Always looking for ideas for the next portrait, too, so feel few to share suggestions. #artshare #coinart #handmade

Spotify Wrapped is basically just a “who did I listen to most in the studio” for me, and it’s no surprise that this year was Brendan Benson. I’ll have to look for the video of the portrait coin I cut out of him last year. #spotify #artstudio

My spirit animal’s spirit animal. #handmadejewelry from a Brazilian coin. #dog #pom

It was nice taking a few days off to be with family, but back behind the bench and cutting some Buffalo nickels. #handmade #artshare #workinprogress

Decided it’s finally time to set up some social media for my jewelry and it was a coin flip between this and Threads. (I’m so sorry if you hate puns, I promise to keep them to a minimum and mostly post jewelry pics and occasional puppy pics if you follow me!) #jewelry #handmade #smallbusiness #coin
