Sea Ice Bracelet

Ok, this piece is probably one of my favorites. It will be hard to let go of it when it sells! I call it "Sea Ice" because the frosty blue beads and the iridescent shell pieces remind me of ice chipped off of a glacier. I think it is delicate yet eye-catching. I try to make pieces that would seem to have a story behind them (as you can tell in my Etsy descriptions) as if they have a life all their own. They are more fun to wear that way! You can check this bracelet out in my Etsy store!

Sunkissed Sands

I received these wonderful handmade sand beads from my friend Kristin (her Etsy shop is www.PaperMacheBeads.etsy.com) and I just had to make something beachy. I used some juicy orange wood beads, some light green shell beads, and some tiny seashells. Then I used some wire and made a drop pendant by wrapping it around the top of a shell pendant and adding some beads. I call it the Sunkissed Sands necklace. It is so summery!! I just added it to my shop!

My New Etsy Shop!

This blog will be about my new adventure, and you are invited to come along for the ride! I had been making handmade jewelry, hats, etc for awhile and realized they all had the same type of style. It seems my love of the beach comes through very clear in my creations. So, I decided i needed a way to incorporate all the random crafts I do into a shop. So now i have a new shop on Etsy called SunsetSurf. I even bought the domain name sunsetsurfshop.com! I will be selling my surfer hats, beach-inspired jewelry, tropical flavored lip balm, and a few other things. I am so excited! Here a pic of the first item in my shop! They are Palm Leaf Earrings.
