Have you ever carefully looked at the patterns on coins? Or do you only pay attention to the heads or words when throwing copper plates? Toronto artist Micah Adams used a saw bow specially designed for jewelry to cut out the reliefs on the coins one by one. Such as the copper leaves on the Canadian one-cent coin, or the birds and flowers on the coins of other countries and regions. These animals, numbers and various small things are spliced ??by Adams into various interesting little things, which are completely unexpected. It turns out that a humble coin can be transformed into so many tricks.
When Adams was studying jewelry and metalworking at the Art Institute, he would use his free time to make small objects. Over the years, he combined the toys, bottle caps, things picked up from the beach, and even teeth that he collected into Small compositions were then cast in metal, which looked like small bronzes or mini monuments. They were very cute and lovable. Then he began to expand his creative materials to usable metal products, and then he discovered that what he was looking for Things are far away but close at hand. In daily life, the copper coins that people often throw away and forget their existence are his best materials.
It is not an easy task to use a saw bow to cut such a small coin by hand. Thanks to the skills he learned during his school days, he was able to complete such delicate work.
