I love the coins/amulets, there's something so eternal about them like they'll be around for aeons

Thanks for saying so, that is exactly the idea. My goal is to make objects that tie different times together. I want people in the present to think about the future and people in the future to think about the past. Small handheld objects will help do that.
My hope is that by creating small, durable, and low maintenance objects that anyone can afford, the average person of the future can connect to the past. It may not be obvious that a simple coin can do this, but I think that it can expand our sense of time.

Interesting, Im quite curious at the technique you use.

Different pieces use different techniques. My most recent piece was done with lost wax to make the mold.

I have to say it, but the coins look absolutely stunning in person and it's so nice to own such a beautiful set of them.

You. Are. Awesome! I just stumbled upon a couple of your coins, and I love them! Just how do you do those?
Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I really enjoy making them. I design them on a computer, then they are stamped from bronze or copper using a die. The colors are either resin or glass.

How do you get the glass/resin onto the coin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The glass is melted on in a 850 degree centigrade furnace. The resin is baked on at a lower temperature and then stoned flush.

The poem you mentioned on the Dawning Hope - Sea of Nectar edition coin sounds beautiful and I would dearly love to know the rest.

Thanks for bringing that up. Maybe I will post it. What has probably stopped me is that I wrote it years ago and I don't like the meter in some spots. I can't decide whether to edit it or not.

It would be nice to see it, it sounds very poetic from the part that is on the coin

Your work is exquisite! My Hubby will be getting one of the leaf tie clips if he gets a promotion or if not, his birthday. Thank you so much for reasonably priced pieces of perfection!
