I am grateful to live by the ocean.  The ocean draws me in with her colour, moods and power.  

Is it any wonder, then, that I honour the ocean and her treasures with my creative endeavours? 

These Mediterranean Blue and SeaFoam Green pieces will transform into necklaces and earrings very soon.  If you sign up and become an insider, YOU will get to shop them first.  Don't miss out...

The Seven Seas conjure up sailing adventures and exploring far away lands.

Or perhaps swashbuckling pirates and mermaids singing their siren song.  

Or finding sunken treasure...

Seven Seas Collection Coming Soon (and insiders shop first).

I am pretty excited to be bringing you my new Seven Seas jewelry collection soon!  This has been a colour and design quest to bring you pieces that you will be able to layer and combine with other jewelry you own.

Here on Vancouver Island, we are experiencing wetter and colder weather than normal.  Certainly, 2 years ago, it was hot enough that everyone wanted to be out at the beach.  

These two necklaces are siblings.  This first one is larger and has a big personality.  It makes a statement all on it's own.

The second one is smaller and shorter.  

It likes to hang around with other necklaces, especially longer dangly ones.  

Which one is your style?  Check them both out here.

Interested in knowing when new designs are releases?  Then you had better be on my email list - first dibs at all new works.  

What's inside the shells?  

The shells contain ingredients for creativity, inspired by oceany things like the colour of water and seashells and barnacles and coral and the importance of oceans for our ecosystems.  

Mix all that together, and you get the latest pieces in my Coastal Collection!

I love how bronze colour changes with age.  It deepens and takes on character.  

Like fine wine or family heirlooms, to me bronze just gets better with age.  

Reminds me of something my ancestors may have worn, or perhaps something washed around in the sea...

As a child, I loved combing through the rocks and pebbles on the beach at our lake property.  I could sit for hours, agate hunting.  

I was in awe of the agates, a small treasure just waiting to be discovered right there on the beach.  I kept a huge bag of agates that had to go everywhere with me.  

Is it any wonder that I now seek the rock tumbled sea glass that is so very agate-like?

I am always creating new works.

Next release is set for September.  Sign up below and be first to shop the new pieces.  

Summer at the seaside is lighthearted and fun.  Relaxing in a deck chair with a book. Or beachcombing for treasure, like sea glass or shells or even interesting rocks and driftwood. 

These Ocean Curl earrings are the perfect summer accessory:  light and colourful!   

You can check out all available Ocean Currents pieces in my shop.  

Or you can sign up below to be first in line when new pieces are released.

Things are coming along in the studio these days as I prepare for the first release of the coast to coast collaboration with my friend Jenn.

The new pieces are coming within a few weeks.  Be the first to shop by signing up to my email list below.  

I have been working on these new bronze and glass pieces.  I am having a grand time with matching the right blue bead to the right bronze form.  

They will be ready for release in a few weeks. Don't worry, the wires won't be sticking out when they are done!
