Before we created our own blog, Ruth Baillie kindly invited me to be a guest blogger on her blog called "Inside the Artisan." She asked that I pick a day to submit a blog post and so "Mondays with Marly" was born. Now that we have our own blog, I am finding that weeks fly by and I realize that I haven't posted anything. As in many things in life, a little structure might help me to make time for things that I enjoy. So, with that in mind, welcome to Sundays at STUDiO 28. Sundays are often a reflective day in the week, so what better way to spend part of it, than writing a blog post. So expect to find a blog post here at least every Sunday!
I have written several blogs on my love of beach stones and how happy I am to be able to incorporate them into jewelry.
When we bicycled over from the cottage to Inverhuron beach last fall, I was delighted to find little tiny pebbles in many different colors and shapes that I thought would be perfect for earrings. When I got back to the studio, I looked through the little mound of pebbles trying to find pairs similar enough to make into earrings, and made these.
As I continued to play with the little pebbles, something magical happened. Two little "moongazers" appeared...
...and a little piece of art was born!
Now I have these sweet little pebble "moongazers" hanging on the wall along with a picture of the view from the cottage deck. When I look at them, I am reminded of happy summer memories, which I particularly enjoy on these dark, cold wintry days!
