Despite a the wacky year of the Pandemic, all-in-all, I enjoyed a new “high” for my sea glass business in 2021. Inadvertently, my studio became a retreat for those who needed to solve “Covid” hair challenges. Hair accessories received a new lease on life! The bigger picture is that the LOVE of sea glass is alive and well and as supplies of the “real thing” dwindle, my collection becomes more of an attraction. This past year my challenge was to find new ways to work with the really large pieces and it was fabulous to introduce the leather and sea glass combos that took the form of “Line in the Sand.” Now the challenge is to find more sea glass lovers with whom to share the work. Right now, I am grateful for a series of new locations that are hosting the collection. Anispotera Mercantile in Lexington has a lovely display. The owner, Rosemary Austin is pioneering a new concept of all around well-being featuring non-THC CBD products alongside organic coffees and teas and artwork. You have to agree, these are the things that make our lives more pleasant! The Fuller Craft Museum has added works to their shop and it’s well worth a visit there to see the incredible glass display called “Glass Life Forms”. Down in St. Augustine, FLA. I am very pleased to be part of W.B. Tatter Gallery on Anastasia Island – just cross this bridge and you are there! Wendy is a talented silk painting/batik artist who I was lucky enough to meet during my recent travels!
