Seashells by the Seashore

Well these are not real seashells and we aren't by the sea but these are a few samples of the characole snail-shell type jewelry from our Ebbtide collection available in the Fireweed Art Studio in Scotch Creek on the Shuswap lake.



Our latest work includes some fun rings ...




 and adjustable bracelets...


I will also be holding classes there throughout the summer with the first one on Thursday July 14.  My students will be learning some polymer clay basics and then turn their creations into some fun to wear Beach Bling jewelry.

Spirals are Inspiring

There is something about the spiral shape that I find myself drawn to.  When I think of a spiral pattern it  reminds me of things in nature such as seashells or snails.  I looked it up and found out that in ancient greece, the living spiral has no beginning or end and is an ongoing process to eternity.  It is considered the essence that connects all things.

Here are some photos I found that will hopefully inspire you....
