I think you know that anything ocean and beach related really appeals to me. I'm sure growing up on the Connecticut coast and swimming in the ocean had a lot to do with it. (Remind me to tell you my jellyfish story sometime. Sometimes I was a little bit naughty as a child.)
So you can imagine my happiness at being included in the lovely treasury, "Inspired by the Sea" by Luv2Have on Etsy. (She makes wonderful fused glass pendants!
My lampwork bead is in the upper left corner. I made it using a stainless steel hollow tube and two colors of glass. I'm still working on improving them, but have some listed in various colors in my Studio Marcy etsy shop.
And of course I'd like one of each of everything else too. I just recently bought a bunch of sea urchins. I've been making them out of glass for quite a while in a stylized manner, but would like to make a few that are more realistic too. (mine are a bit "pungent" right now. They're outside.
Don't forget that these treasuries are ephemeral. This one will just be up through 6/1/09. Feel free to take a copy of this photo, if you want it for inspiration.
So now you know that one of my loves is the ocean and beach. Do you have a category that you adore also? What is it? I'd love to know.
What a beautiful treasury as is your bead.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous treasury - definitely Etsy front page worthy, IMO. And your bead is so realistic, it looks like there should be an oyster in it. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are in this treasury. You deserve it. My wonderful custom sea shell torcher.
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't live by the ocean, I love it! When I am undecided as to where my glass will go, my glass takes over, and we go to the ocean.
