I found this quote about driftwood and it stuck with me - driftwood to me is timeless and a symbol of going with the flow. 

"I imagined your stick, washing in the waves for hundreds of years, turning to driftwood, smooth and hard like stone. I imagined a little girl finding it on a beach so many years later. Saving it on her shelf, where she put the things that made her feel like the world was magical." - Author: Ava Dellaira

Driftwood as a talisman for the magic of the world!  I love it.

When you go down to the beach, keep your eyes open for the elusive Martinique necklace...

Is it hiding in the rocks?  

No, nope with the sea glass.  How about over there with the driftwood? 

Yup, there it is!  

You just never know what treasure you will discover if you keep your eyes open.

Inspiration for the artist comes in many forms.  The other day, I noticed that many of my pieces have a stick shape.  But the influence for the shape comes from different places.  The bronze bent and hole-filled pieces are inspired by coral forms in the ocean's reefs. Reefs are like gardens, teeming with life and diversity.  

The other "sticks" are inspired by driftwood.  This influence is not only the shape of the driftwood, but the spirit of it - a bit of a wanderer, buffeted by adversity and coming out more weathered, but also more experienced.

My Shoreline Collection is really made for beach lovers of all kinds. 

There are seashells to adorn the mermaids out there, like Barnacle I.  

Or shapely driftwood-like pendants that bring to mind windswept beach panoramas (like we have here on Vancouver Island).

Right now it is a small collection that will grow over time.   If you want to be first to shop new Shoreline Collection additions, then sign up for my email list below.  Insiders always get the scoop! 

One of the things the last year has taught us is that we must be versatile and adapt to our situation.  

Well, my Driftwood I necklace can do just that!  It can be worn as a long single chain, which is perfect over winter sweaters and high-necked shirts.  

Or, you can double up the chain for a layered necklace look.  

Driftwood I is available in my shop.

Poohsticks, a game invented by Winnie-the-Pooh (my favourite childhood story), is about racing sticks {driftwood} under a bridge by dropping them into the current, then rushing to the other side to see who's stick comes out first.    

I was thinking how my driftwood inspired necklace would fare in a game like that....

It would probably sink; not such a good racing feature!  

On the other hand, it really wins as a long, dangly necklace to dress up your day.  

Go and check it out.

Had to share the love.  {you're welcome}

I have been reading a book called "The Driftwood Girls".  

Which aligns nicely with the driftwood "thing" I have had going on lately.

It has been a muse and an inspiration.  So don't be surprised if driftwood inspired pieces make their way into my next collection releases...

With the pandemic closing all hair salons for over 2 months, I found myself growing out my hair.  It's been awhile since I have had longer hair and the earrings I normally would choose were not showing up any more.

So what's a girl to do when she wants to show off her jewelry and keep her longer hair style???

The answer is get my Majorca earrings!  They are dangly with lots of movement and the bottom bead swings below my hair line. 

Perfect!

Barnacles, bronze earrings and driftwood.  Right now, these are a few of my favourite things.

That's why I am always on the lookout for ocean treasures.

And why I am inspired by them to create.

Driftwood reminds me about strength and flexibility.  

By nature, it drifts, pushed along by the water currents and doesn't resist.  

It goes with the flow, weathers the storms and comes out beautiful in the end.
