<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This recycled silver coin rabbits and hares bracelet was inspired when I licking honey off my thumb the other day whilst stirring some porridge (breakfast of champions). Gazing out of the window, sucking my thumbs, got me thinking about the legendary Welsh enchantress Ceridwen and her 'sous-chef' young master Gwion Bach cauldron stirrer.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
(Please forgive this overview of the event if you are familiar with the powerful lady and this particular day because I express myself in recycled shiny things not language! feel free to chime in and help out.)</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Anyway, it is told that the very impressive enchantress Ceridwen was living a pretty wild life up in North Wales. Trouble was her son was a mess, and she definitely did not find him aesthetically pleasing. So rather than trying to work through his personal hideousness or just 'putting up' and living with this beast; she put her particular set of skills to work. Got the old cauldron heated up to 220°c and cunningly devised a sweet little potion to grant the gift of wisdom and artistic inspiration (which i guess is to make him beautiful and thus inspire art and poetry?).</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This is where young master Gwion Bach joins the scene, he's the 'little stirrer' making sure all of Ceridwens potions are smooth. Thinking about it that would be a great name for an organic smoothy company Ceridwens, probably already is. Problem is this potion was quite a special one developed for the main problem in Ceridwens life, her son and little Gwion spills a bit over the side (which is a big no-no) and then (which is a HUGE no-no) wipes it up with his thumb and licks it. nnnnnnooooOOOO! Yes. BOOM. Young Gwion immediately has the power, fabulous bone structure, and ancient secret knowledge. Ceridwen is well annoyed.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
She was super furious so Gwion switched it up and transformed into a hare and leaped off. Phew! So there was me licking my honey thumb thinking about this and imagining Gwion Bach as the hare leaping off through the Welsh hills and valleys and arriving at a full moon party in Salisbury. Some would infer that he is the infamous, legendary Salisbury Hare who was seen dancing at full moons by locals, who knows. Anyway, I just like to think about that sometimes. The legend has it that Ceridwen transformed into a greyhound and took off after him (any excuse to get away from her son). Then they reckon that in an effort to swerve her he turned into a fish a swam off down the river! but there is no way i believe that.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">
The bracelet will be on the <a href="http://www.hairygrowler.com/" target="_blank">website</a> tomorrow, all being well!</div>

The original design / concept. I particularly wanted the wee birds to wear the crowns on the half penny coin. I meticulously searched google images and the web to make sure no one had tried this idea before. A good (and extensively long with various detours!) search showed no previous designs or examples, so off i went.....</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now these are definitely tiny, sweet little charms / necklaces. I have cut them from an 1974 and 1984 small UK half pennies (no longer in circulation, 1984 was the last year of the half-pea). It is only 17 mm diameter.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is a beautiful little coin and they will be on the website soon. You will be able to simply choose the design as you see it or possibly request an available year 1971 - 1984. This date is visible on the reverse of the pendant and could add that extra special birthday touch.</span></div>

Recycling Chic! Each sterling silver tree of life is handcrafted individually, by myself, in Cambridge. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Using traditional jewellers hand tools, a beautiful, unwanted, sterling silver pre 1919 English coin is transformed into an intricate, yet simple, tree pendant. The coin is flattened to increase to working area. The rough tree design is sketched onto the surface and then painstakingly detailed with a jewellers hand saw and hand engraving chisels. It is these processes which reveal the beautiful details. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Discarded and uncollectible by numismatists, these coins are just screaming out to be lovingly and sympathetically recycled. Rather than simply melting them down for the silver i prefer to invest time into creating a piece which is beautiful and ethical. I aim to not only create a contemporary, wearable design but also revive some of the original history, interest an beauty. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Each one of these trees is a complete pleasure to make, totally unique and completely individual. Once the tree is successfully cut away from the coin it is finished with hand engraved bark and leaves. A simple mounted star or heart hanging freely at the bale or 'shepards crook' safety catch if silver chain option is chosen. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Size : Approx 35 mm * 35 mm</span><br />

Today it is a fabulous Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">A calaca is a figure of a skull or skeleton (usually human) commonly used for decoration during the Mexican Day of the Dead festival, although they are made all year round. Tracing their origins from Aztec imagery, calacas are frequently shown with marigold flowers and foliage. As with other aspects of the Day of the Dead festival, calacas are generally depicted as joyous rather than mournful figures. They are often shown wearing festive clothing, dancing, and playing musical instruments to indicate a happy afterlife. This draws on the Mexican belief that no dead soul likes to be thought of sadly, and that death should be a joyous occasion. This goes back to Aztec beliefs, one of the few traditions to remain after the Spanish conquest. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Calacas used in the festival include carved skull masks worn by revelers, small figures made out of carved wood or fired clay, and sweet treats in the form of skulls or skeletons. Calacas are sometimes made of wood, stone, or even candy. In this case a repurposed 20p coin! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">It is difficult to cut and engrave because it is a tough metal and the space is small at only 16 mm diameter working area. Each one of these pendants is handmade from a current 20p coin. Using a marker pen a quick inspired sketch is dropped on to the surface of the 20p. I then meticulously carve away the design with a traditional hand engraving tool and cut details using a traditional jewellers saw. Once the details are cut the pendant is given an extremely bright polishing which really brings the coin to life. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">As I handcut each coin individually to order every one is completely unique and unusual.

MF DOOM<br />
<br />
I've got a metal face and metal fingers. As a school boy i used to love KMD and as a man-child i still love listening to MF Doom and KMD, especially Mr. Hood at Piocalles Jewelry / Crackpot.<br />
<br />
I have carefully carved this metal face MF Doom mask necklace from a 20p coin. The space to do this is only 16mm and the metal is tough so it was quite a challenge. It was worth the effort as i now have it around my neck! My own piece of MF Doom jewellery.<br />

New spoon rings....<br />
<br />
On Saturday at the market a lovely lady gave me a huge bag of coins and a little collection of tea and coffee spoons. She said they had been sitting in a draw for over thirty years! Seeing my stall in Cambridge she was moved to making a special journey so they could be transformed and loved once more. In the collection I have this sweet set of eight of these vintage Floral pattern ones which i am going to transform into lovely spoon rings. The ones where you are amazingly wearing a whole spoon comfortably on your finger :) I have polished a couple up to sit next to two of the rings already made.<br />

After a sunny/rainy/snow-shower/hail/sunny-again strange weekend at the market i am pleased to be back in the workshop! Its always nice meeting online customers friends in the 'person'. This often makes up for the hideous and frustrating weather conditions.<br />
<br />
Back in the workshop...... I have just finished a little collection of leaping hares for my family. Each one is, as always, handmade and 100% recycled from old silver coins. Each one is completely and utterly unique. I have listed them on the <a href="http://www.hairygrowler.com/" target="_blank">new website </a> But I guarantee that if you treat yourself or someone special to one it will be even nicer than the one in the picture!<br />
<br />
If you like the website I welcome you to follow my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/recycledjewellery" target="_blank">facebook page </a> Here I keep up to date designs, workshop activities and even the odd competitions and 'give aways'!!<br />

At long last i have managed to get the new website online. I have been working on it 'fairly' hard since September last year. The various and many headaches it had a part in were worth while and i now have a new site to show and sell my work with relative ease!

<span style="color: #444444;">There is this owl thats hoo-hooing in a tree near me and i mean really hoo-hooing. Its nice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444;">I have just finished this lush little necklace and thought i would pop it up and bore you all. I am posting this but the voice in my head which is representing my friends is shouting "you like trees and birds - we get it, enough already". Anyways, i have used a lovely silver half crown as the raw material i have recycled. On this occasion i sketched out the outline of the tree and owl, quickly and ultra basic. I then carefully hand engraved the whole design and details using nice engravers hand chisels. Once i was happy i then cut the tree free from the coin surround and finished by piercing away the interior details. I am well pleased with it!</span><br />

The exact origins of this ancient 'hand' symbol are unknown. Throughout the ages however, we know it is universal sign of protection throughout many cultures and beliefs. The hand of Hamsa is also referred as the Hand of Fatima. In all situations and beliefs the hand symbol is always employed in jewellery as a protective amulate, offering strength and courage in its wearer.</h2>

The necklace is 100% unique, individual and handmade. It has been recycled / up cycled from a sterling silver Georgian or Victorian Florin coin. For added interest and proof of ethical and original origin the 'off cut' of the silver Florin is packed in with the necklace. A fab piece of historical silver.</h2>

<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Anyways, i used a lovely but lonely Victorian teaspoon. All of the teaspoons and silver cutlery i use to make my work are individual items which have been unloved and unappreciated! These loose items are then 'swept' up in house clearance deals, generally be antiques dealers. </span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
They are then destined to be 'melted down' for their silver content as they are generally classed as undesirable due to not being in a set of six or twelve. It is these 'lost' pieces of historic and beautiful silverware i choose to 'save' from the melting pot.<br />
<br />
The overall aim is to transform each spoon into something lovely and desirable, with a new life ahead of it.<br />
<br />
Once the tree has been cut and carved i then wrap the handle to form the 'bale'. This wrapped handle bale is a lovely feature and means that the 'whole spoon' is used to create the piece.<br />

This fabulous new necklace has been meticulously handcrafted from recycled sterling silver coins. Each one of these coins is obtained due to them not being of collectible quality. This is a real shame as they represent such a fasinating history. Rather than let them simply be 'melted down' to release the base value of the precious metal, i buy as many as i can to transform into lovely, wearable jewellery! I make sure each piece retains signs of its historical origins.</h2>

The owls are hand drawn onto the surface of the flattened silver coins. They are then cut out by hand using a traditional jewellers piercing saw. Each necklace ordered will be completely unique and individual. Be assured that it will be equally, if not more beautiful.</h2>
