The Full Story
About Me
Hello, I'm Sofka Bishop, the artist behind PennyPuzzler. My journey into coin carving began in my teenage years, inspired by my father, who started transforming his coin collection into art in the 1970s. Together, we developed a line of intricate puzzles and jewelry, each piece meticulously hand-cut using a small saw and tiny blades. With over 35 years of experience, I continue to create unique designs that celebrate connections between couples, friends, and family. Every item is crafted with care and precision, offering a meaningful keepsake for you or your loved ones.
Mission Statement
Carving coins is not just my craft; it’s my passion and a way to bring history, creativity, and personal stories together. Whether it’s an interlocking necklace, a personalized design, or a timeless piece of wearable art, each creation is made with care, precision, and love. My mission is to craft treasures that resonate with your story, celebrate your milestones, and become cherished heirlooms. Thank you for supporting handmade artistry—I’m thrilled to share my work with you!
Vision
At PennyPuzzler, my vision is to preserve the timeless art of coin carving by hand and inspiring meaningful connections. I aim to create pieces that celebrate personal stories, cherished relationships, and the beauty of individuality. By blending artistry with tradition, I strive to become a go-to destination for those seeking unique, heartfelt treasures that stand the test of time. Through this craft, I envision fostering a deeper appreciation for handmade art and leaving a legacy of creativity, connection, and craftsmanship.
