(G003) Loose Shells (Various sizes and colors)

Beachcombing for driftwood and seashells has been a life-long passion.  Now that I'm able to make shells of clay, I find myself "beachcombing" at home, a thousand miles from the seashore, when I take my clay and create shells of various sizes, shapes and colors.  In creating my animals and shells I end up with bits and pieces of multi-colored clay which I love to use for one of a kind color combinations.  This is why I think these "beach bags" of guiltless shells will allow you to also beachcomb with me.

Just like real shells, your guiltless shells will display nicely in a wooden bowl,  crystal goblet or straw basket.  I use sand, rice, wood shavings, potpourri, seed beads, etc. to accent mine.  I also give them away to friends who stop by.

The sizes vary from miniature to large.  I go for a balanced blend of shapes and sizes to please the eye and hand.  This I think is the best way to appreciate and enjoy my shells.  Each grouping, in a way, becomes its own work of art.

(G004) Nautilus Pendant - Color Chart

The size pendant that is the most popular is the large.  I find it very comfortable to wear; it's lightweight, warm to the touch and quite tactile.  An added bonus for me is finding my young grandsons loving to look at and touch my necklace.  We make the sterling silver loop and include a ribbon of complementary color.  They are also attractive with jewelry chains. I apply a thin glaze to all of my jewelry creations to accentuate the colors. 

Sizes in inches:  Small 3/4; Reg 1; Large 1-1/4; ExLarge 1-3/4.  Since each item is a hand-formed artwork, the sizes given are only approximate. (Measured across, length proportional)

(G005) Spiral Pendant - Color Chart

I'm finding my jewelry attention getting.  A good ice breaker for friendly dialogue.  One thing others are doing with their pendants is to create a charm necklace.  It seems as if my shell awakened this idea for them.  I'm sure there are lots of other ways to enjoy them.

People love to watch me hatch my clay eggs into lifeforms. My website is also like a clay egg - one I'm hatching right now.
