Tonight is going to be just a quick post I am afraid. I’ve had a very productive day today! I have added new stock to my Etsy shop and launched my new jewelry collection… See Artfire. I am still working on my Message in a Bottle necklaces but my sea glass and wave tumbled ceramic work is listed and ready to be sold! I would like to thank all the people who have given me positive feedback on these, I am glad you like them.

I have started many blogs in my time but after being inspired by a certain someones recent blog post about creativity and depression I am determined to keep this one going in order to stay inspired and keep making… I have recently started a new business venture alongside exhibiting my work around the UK, called Tidal Crafts Selling my art and craft work from paintings, mixed media pieces to vintage photography on the Internet (to begin with) on sites such as: Artfire
As with any business it helps to know a bit of background so here goes… I adore the British seaside, enjoy art, art criticism (if you are also interested read my recent piece about Van Gogh And His Letters at The RA) and collect anything old with a story. I am currently starting a new silver jewelry collection made from sea glass, wave tumbled ceramics and beach bricks that I pick up on one of my many Coastal walks with the dog. I am going to use this blog to give you, my readers and dedicated customers, exclusive photos and news of new stock.
Today I am waiting for Mr Postman who should be delivering more jewelry supplies – unfortunately though, it looks like I’ve been stood up for today. So instead I have found some of my favourite quotes to type on my vintage Olivetti typewriter…
“Water, water everywhere ne any drop to drink”
“Who hath desired the sea? – the sight of saltwater unbounded”
“The sea is a collector, quick to return a rapacious look”…
I will be using these quotes on mini scroll paper strips for my Message In A Bottle Pendant Necklaces, using teeny tiny bottles holding the scroll and seaside memorabilia. I will also be offering custom text messages in a bottle for that special someone in your life, so watch this space! I hope you check back in to see what Tidal Crafts will be offering shortly.
