finding fashion...


I love walking my dogs on the beach, and the Virginia beach, where we most often walk, has crazy amounts of tumbled beach glass. As my recycled, sand blasted collection grows, i realise it's relevance in my jewellery.

Because the smokey effect on the glass is naturally beautiful, my initial idea was to use it in an obvious way (just set the glass into a silver frame). Only problem i have with this is it could be made by anyone. I felt the want to add a bit more of a "me" touch to it by bringing in a leafy pattern.

While i was playing with these ideas in my mind, we were given a project to make a "fashion Piece".

Sustainability is a contemporary issue, which has made it fashionable. yeehaa I found the fashion in me :)
