A bit of recognition for everyday heroes going above and beyond the call of duty! We all know people who valiantly serve, just by going about the day’s work. This series of medals is for them.
Most of the medals are metaphorical rather than realistic, so you can recognize the little imaginative sliver that every one of us shares in spirit. I like to use found objects and repurposed or recycled elements in my work because that, too, adds to the human element of our collective story.
Some of the medals are organized around themes that happened to catch my fancy. Know a sailor or a beachcomber? You might like the series called Crossing the Line.
Perhaps a deep attraction for the mythical hero or legendary creation stories? You might like the Icelandic Saga series, which is based on illustrations from the ancient Edda texts.
And for the whimsical and/or fantastical among us, seek out medals recognizing The Siege of Rabbits. These illustrations are gathered from marginalia and doodles in medieval manuscripts. Think Westeros meets Watership Down!
