Sea Pods Sneak Preview

Hello out there!  It's been a while....

I've been hard at work in the studio as well as teaching workshops.  I've had two great weekend workshops as well as a fun evening class so far this year.  It's so great to work with interesting creative people!  Especially when I'm used to it just being me and Buster all day every day.  He's super cute and pretty good company, but not much of a conversationalist.  Mark is, of course, around in the evenings, but we're so busy with evening business that, well, you know... time just sort of flies. 

But lately I've been feeling very sea-y.  I guess I just have the ocean in my bones.  I got to go down to Oak Island a couple weekends ago, and it just feels like home.  Nothing quite like the beach in the winter.  So peaceful. 

Buster and Jackson had no problem with the cold water.



So I when I got back home, I started thinking about a new jewelry line.  I'm calling the line "Sea Pods."  It will be with the same five or so colors in keeping with my Reef Jewelry line, but these will be more formed... pod-like if you will.  I think there's a lot of potential with this line, so I'm pretty excited about it.  I finished the first few pieces this week, and I plan to use these for applications to various shows, galleries, etc.  Guess I know what I'm doing this week.......

But without further ado, I give you....

The "Sea Pods" Sneak Preview




I'll post more as I get them done, and please check out my facebook page for quick updates and more previews.  Thanks for reading!

Seattle, Just for Fun

I'm always inspired by shapes and colors and things I see around me, so when I'm in a new or interesting place, I generally have my camera in tow.  Now that I've finally gotten most of the business stuff from the SNAG Conference out of the way, I just wanted to post a few fun photos that I took while I was in Seattle.

Seattle in a very cool city with a lot of great things to look at.  I did spend a lot of time at the conference, but I stayed at the home of my friends Ben and Annie (Annie, unfortunately, was out of town that weekend.)  But Ben took me around and showed me some great Seattle sites I might not have seen otherwise.  Thanks, dude!

Here are a few from Pike Place Market (the market of fish-tossing fame).  I was digging the colors inside:


 

This was in a neat artsy section of town called Ballard:


Love the troll under the bridge!  That is a real VW Bug he's crushing.


This was a lovely rocky beach called Golden Gardens Beach right on the Puget Sound:


And of course, I had to get in a couple Space Needle shots:




All in all, a pretty fine trip!  It's great to be around so many talented people in such a beautiful, inspiring city!
