Wear this necklace and get compliments
When I wear my Ocean curl necklace, I always get compliments.
Maybe it's because the shape of the necklace resembles the curve of the dolphin?
Or perhaps it is just a unique and simple statement.

Perfect jewelry pairings: turtle approved
I love to pair my Maderia earrings with my Petite Madeleine necklace.
They go swimmingly together and add a touch of class to any outfit.
Even the turtle approves!
Better get on my list just in case a birthday surprise is in store for Insiders only...(wink, wink, nudge, nudge). It's easy, just put your email in the space below.
Discover oceanic jewelry
Had some friends swim by for a look at my copper ocean curl pieces.
They are some of the first pieces I created when I was beginning again on this adventure.
Ocean Curls in copper with sea green enamel - in necklaces and earrings. The manatees seem to like them!

How creativity explodes...
I really did try to put the beads away so I could focus.
But they kept clamouring in their new jar home. Until they all tumbled out!
This is what it feels like when I am inspired creatively - all the ideas clamouring to get out!
If you want to be first in line when I release the new creative pieces for this collection, then sign up to my email list below.
Bronze earrings galore available in a store!
Last month, I sent all these earrings from my Isles collection over to Kizmit Gift Gallery in Fort Langley.
So once you are able to travel out there, go and check them out in person. I did also send a few necklaces to go with them.
In the meantime, why not sign up to my email list? Besides getting to shop new collections first, Insiders get special offers from time to time...

Beady eye candy for me to play with
Opening the box of beads was really fun. It was full of the blues and greens of the oceans, like the Atlantic and the Caribbean.
Some are one colour:
And some are swirled, multicoloured, just like the ocean!
I can't wait to see what comes from this collaboration.

An ocean full of beads
What does the cup of ocean hold?
Glory of purple and glint of gold;
Tenderest greens and heavenly blue,
Shot with the sunlight through and through;
Wayward ripples that idly roam.
Tumbling breakers with gallant foam;
Sands and pebbles that chase and slide;
Mystic currents that softly glide;
Mighty spell of the ages old,
This does the cup of ocean hold.
~ Amos Russel Wells
A box of oceany treasure
As mentioned in yesterday's post, my friend and I are collaborating by swapping beads with each other. I received my treasure package last week.
I discovered that Jenn included a few of her handmade cards for me.
Then, to the real treasure! Atlantic dark blue beads and.....
Lively Caribbean coloured beads! SO.MUCH.FUN!!! The ideas have been popping out of my head.
If you want to be the first to shop when my new pieces that include Jenn's beads are released, then you had better sign up for my email list below!
Ocean inspired handcrafted goodness
A few weeks ago, I sent this parcel of bronze and copper beads to my friend Jenn at Kanna Glass Studio.
On the same day she received my handmade treasure, I discovered a package from her on my doorstep! It is the start of our coastal collaboration: Pacific Northwest and Atlantic South East.
Watch this space as the collaboration unfolds. This week, I will be showing off Jenn's beautiful beads. You can also follow us on Instagram. Jenn is @kannaglassstudios and I am @leonajeannedesigns.
And as always, if you want to be first to shop when I release my new collaboration pieces, then sign up for my email list below:
If you go down to the beach today...
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.
