Recycled One Norwegian Øre
This piece of work represents years of practice cumulating in my ability to hand cut out letters less than 1mm tall!  It’s been a long journey and a lot of practice but I cherish the outcome, especially these tiny squirrels. The coin is carefully hand cut and carved using traditional hand saws, chisels and files. This traditional process allows me to have a close connection to each piece, ensuring the end result is personal and unique.

Handmade and recycled in Cambridge, England.
Size : Approx 15mm diameter.

  1. Pauline –

    Superbly crafted squirrel in a natural pose is a very attractive subject for a pendant. Repurposing a obsolete coin to create that pendant is genius.

    Beautifully executed, adorable squirrel with perfect features shown in a natural pose eating an acorn – makes a very attractive subject for a pendant. I like the detail of the tiniest piece of the squirrel’s ear and the tip of the tail encroaching into the rim of the shilling – beautiful. The craftsmanship is exquisite. Using his gift of knowing the right amount of detail to give life to the piece, the work is uncluttered and visually appealing. The extra acorn, made from an old threepenny piece, attached to the superbly crafted clasp is hallmark feature for Mr. Growler.

    Thank you so much for your cleverly skilled creation This is an astonishing piece of craftmanship. This old Norwegian coin is small and delicate and the carving out of the details is hard to believe to be possible. It is a wonderful piece. The squirrel is sweet and we chose an oak leaf charm to compliment.
    We are especially grateful to have found this norwegian coin as a special gift for our daughter’s 21st. It is a nod to her Norwegian granny and connection to her heritage.
    And thank you so much for accommodating my ridiculous ask of engraving an initial on the rear of this small piece. Not only an initial but also a heart and a “21” !! – miniscule and perfectly formed- so lovely.

    My daughter hasn’t received it yet but know she will love it and wear it with pride.

    Thank you so much for your cleverly skilled creation.
