This has been a busy creative summer in and out of the studio. I am back to making garden stepping stones and sculpture now that I have new places to sell them. Sea Meadow Gifts and Garden is a perfect home for my steppingstones alongside other wonderful garden décor outside this fun gift shop. I have recently been setting up small displays around town in places that are easily accessible to visitors – the most recent is the Emerson Inn in Rockport. Please pop in an take a look if you are out and about. Outside of Cape Ann, I am working my way up the coast!
During the recent tour and throughout the years, I’ve noticed something interesting. Some of my original designs are still among the most popular. It’s always good to see how people react from year to year. So, I am turning the expression “in with the new and out with the old” on its head. It’s really about “In with the new and don’t get rid of the old!” One of my most loved designs with a tri-color earring that usually has a piece of pottery and two pieces of glass. The combination of the two really makes these earrings stand out in a crowd.
I just sorted all my pottery to pull out the small chards of blue and white and it’s quite a spectacle! Out of all this chaos sprang new combinations of blue and white pottery, blue, and white glass, several pair of earrings, and a series of new alligator clips. Something about this color combo resonates with everyone, so I guess I will keep these in the collection for a long time!
Here is the photo progression of the raw materials through the final product! Enjoy.
Please give me a call (978-283-8333) to visit and enjoy some time in the studio. I am going to bring back “Friends and Family Fridays” on Friday afternoon and do my best to open from 2-6PM to catch people on their day off or on their way to a beach weekend on Cape Ann.
