Water as an insperation.

Star Fish earrings by EmilyClaireCreations

I grew up in Washington State on the beaches of the beautiful Puget Sound. I spent many many days watching the ebb and flow of the tide looking for the treasures the reseeding tide would reveal in the tide pools. I was at once awed and inspired by the Sea Stars clinging to the rocks and docks,the sand dollars that appeared on the sand and the tiny rock and sand crabs that skittered everywhere. Still today the most calming sound I know is the crash of the waves and the call of Seagulls as they sailed on the salt air looking for a meal.

I am so often inspired by the beautiful memories of the sea and love to use the colors and textures in my artwork. Today I thought I would share the artwork of fellow polymer clay artists that are inspired by water too.

The colors of this necklace by HaffinaCreations scream water to me.

I need a day at the beach...

I am having a little bit of the winter blues; it has been so cold and dreary here for several weeks. I am ready for a little beach therapy it always makes me feel better.

We are planning a trip to Savannah Georgia for April , I can hardly wait. I love beach combing it is one of my favorite things to do. I have a excellent huge collection of shells and rocks so I decided to use a few from my collections to make these 2 pieces.

The frame measures 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 with a 4x6 photo opening it can stand on a table or be hung on a wall.

The candle and holder are would look really cute with the frame I think. I poured a Night Blooming Tuberose candle in the holder.

They are not a trip to the beach but I feel happier after making them. It was a lot of fun going through my collection and remembering all the fun I had collecting them. I hope you enjoy them.
