Sea Glass Accessories

 |
Just back from a marvelous, inspirational trip to Amsterdam, Italy, and even a quick stop in Paris! Tons of artistic inspiration on this trip and a wonderful treasure of seaglass from the coast of Campagna – Agropoli – the lovely historic town south of Salerno. With Vietri Sur Mare just up the street (the center of ceramic art) – the pottery shards were amazing! We even found a shop with our name on it! Here's what I lugged back gleefully.
Lately, I have had the good fortune of explaining to everyone why I started designing hair accessories. Quite simply, good ones are impossible to find! We spend so much money on our hair – so why not show it off. I would love to hear from you with photos of a barrette "in your hair" – for the new section on my website of wearing the art! Here's one I had taken recently at our seARTS Wearable Arts Show. Of course, the obvious challenge is you really need someone else to take the photo. For those of you who will get one as a holiday gift, I hope you enjoy them 🙂 And a final thanks to my mom who was on the quest on my behalf for years. In fact, because of her, I have quite a collection.
Many thanks to the wonderful fellow Cape Ann Artisans who visited my studio several weekends ago. I am honored to be included among this fabulous group that has inspired me for many years for the 30th Annual Tour in 2013! Don't forget that the Barn is open this weekend and next at 10AM! Come and visit us at 44 Thurston Pt. Rd.
To those of you that visited my studio in September, we hope you enjoyed Breakfast in the Barn! As we leap into the holiday season, I'd like to invite you back! Or if you missed it, please stop by for a visit this season. Visits to the Barn will enjoy a special holiday bonus!
I will be showing and selling work every Saturday in December. December 1, 15th, and 22nd, you can find me here in the Barn Studio or very close by! Friday, December 7th opening evening reception) and Saturday, December 8th is the seARTS Wearable Art Holiday Show & Sale at the Saunders House at the Sawyer Free Library. This is a wonderful way to see and try on a wide range of wonderful hand-made, one of a kind wearables! See the flyer below or visit the new seARTS website to learn more.
There's much to see and buy – or if you aren't sure, then I am happy to provide a gift certificate! In addition to jewelry and hair accessories we have the popular books on sea glass, flash cards, note-cards, and other related items.
At the intersection of art and technology comes the incredibly thoughtful "Square" that has saved me and many fellow jewerly artists with it's incredibly simple functionality. I happen to notice that its inventor/founder, Jack Dorsey just won an Innovation award from the Wall Street Journal. Thanks Jack. BTW, he's also the founder of Twitter!
Once again we are pleased to showcase our local jewelry and fiber artists in our Annual show at the beautiful Saunder's House. Opening reception December 7th will have the Cape Ann Big Band Jazz Trio along with food prepared by the artists! And of course, we will be there all day during the Middle Street Walk.
