Happy Inauguration Day!

We were delighted when we saw this piece on CNN about the luck charms that Barack Obama carries in his pocket. In the segment, he says that the Luck Pocket Pebble is his favorite!



These Luck Pocket Charms were designed by Atlanta artisan Kaycee Binns and are all handmade here at the Metal Morphosis studio. The word "Luck" is also raised in braille on the back of the token; significant, because according to Kaycee, "we did the Braille because we want people to feel the words, not just see them."

50th Anniversary of the Peace Symbol

The peace symbol was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom while he was a member of a UK campaign for nuclear disarmament. The symbol was quickly adopted in the US when Bayard Rustina, a friend of Martin Luther King Jr., began using it during
civil rights marches. Soon after, it was adopted for support of the peace movement during the war in Vietnam.
