Pearls of Wisdom

Pearls & shells have been inspirin' me up the wall ever since I got back from the West Coast. I think I've caught some form of ocean fever...very strange considering my aversion to water. But some necklaces have gone into production   because of all this (photos soon!). You know what else I heard?? That whole "grain-of-sand" thing isn't real....mind blowing.

Ok here we go. Project No. 1: Woodenpearls

I've been working on putting together a mini-collection for the summer. (Think cotton things. Think see-thru things. Think cropped things. And sailing knots. LOTS of sailing knots.) It all started during an epic drive to the ocean a about a month ago. I fell in love with the colors and textures and thought they were a perfect thing to work with during these sunny months. It's a pretty simple (and I'll be honest--overused) concept, but think my take will give you more of a "the-mermaid-from-Splash-meets-Tom-Hanks-in-Castaway" feel, Like magical driftwood or something. You'll see...I'll be posting a few finished pieces later this week. Holla back.
