Under the Sea Wind Necklace

The water is aqua from the horizon to your feet. The glassy waves break clear and hiss up the sand. The dunes are stitched by pale grass that, with the assistance of the sea wind, scribbles patterns on the pathway to the beach, and a lighthouse gleams white in the afternoon sun.

One of a kind wash glazed polymer clay focal, czech glass, flat polymer clay spacers, Vintaj brass chain and findings.

When Size Does Matter

This polymer clay focal was originally made to be part of this bracelet....... but I got carried away with the size and it is too large. (I think my muse really wanted a necklace)
Working on another project, my eye keeps going to it, so tonight it will become 'Under the Sea Wind"

Looking Out to Sea

The soft breeze, the salt tang, the sparkles on the water, the cry of gulls, and there you sit on the warm sand...... looking out to sea

Amazonite, aqua fire agate, czech glass, lampwork round, vintaj brass and a brass gull charm.

Marmalade Skies

This is a bracelet made from some of the goodies that have arrived in the mail over the passed few days.The grey and black cracked agate rounds have the most wonderful crazing and a lovely matte surface. A porcelain oval bead, dark grey diagonal spacers, carnelian rondelle, Vintaj brass findings and chain and a brilliant faceted, aurora borealis drop

Thoughts on the First Sale

When you work in a creative field, especially something so personal as making jewellery, every piece has a part of your heart in it, some more so than others.

Friends and family keep saying "you should sell your jewellery", however to put your creation out into the public domain is sometimes like standing naked in the street. Will someone like it, will everyone hate it, are your friends and family wrong and only being kind?

To have someone select your piece from all the other beautiful jewellery made by many talented designers is a heady experience!

First there is the excitement of the actual sale, and then there is the warm feeling of connection to the buyer. You wonder what they are like and where they live and what it was that made them decide that your piece whispered to them and to make it part of their life.

And so my very first sale - Fly by Night is off to France!
Thank you so much Isabelle, I hope my creation from my hands and heart gives you ongoing delight.

Fly by Night

A polymer clay focal with a little owl, agate rounds, wrapped wire spacers, czech glass beads, vintaj chain.

Forever Young

Since it is my grand daughters birthday, I have made her a bit of 'baby-bling' in the form of a cute little bracelet.
A little 'sweet bird of youth' charm, swarovski crystal and vintaj chain.
Happy Birthday Abby!
