Sea Glass Commission

I love making sea glass jewellery to order.
It’s lovely when someone can come to my studio and have a look through all the pieces of sea glass I have and find one or two pieces they absolutely love.

I have been invited by The Park Gallery to exhibit a selection of my work at the up and coming Winter Warmth exhibition which will take place in The Park Gallery’s new location on the ground floor of Callendar House in Falkirk. Winter Warmth is now in it’s 6th year and has built up a reputation for showcasing original, high quality art and design work from a wealth of artists, designers and craft makers in Scotland and the UK. I’m lucky to be one of this years 25 artists.

The lovely folk at Makers-Online have just opened their doors to entries for their Trash to Treasure competition. There’s a £200 cash prize and Rachelle Strauss from www.myzerowaste.com has agreed to do the judging! So get your thinking caps on and get creative with your waste and come up with something amazing and enter the competition.

Have a look at the lovely jewellery made by Colby June. I love these oak branch earrings and the whole Compose Decompose range. The branches remind me of the coral shapes I sketched earlier this year and wanted to use for some of my sea glass jewellery. I ended up making polished silver claws instead to hold my sea glass but I still feel that something a little more rugged and crooked would work well too. These images have inspired me and I might try and cast some coral shapes in pewter or silver and play around.

I was asked recently by my friends Dan and Sonas to make one of my sea glass pendants for one of their friends for her birthday. They came round to select a piece of glass from my vast collection and settled on 2 pieces and couldn’t decide between them. So I said I would make both into pendants and that would make it easier for them to decide.
