So far these have been created in limited editions and by special requests. I'm currently at the cabin working on making more - I'll be introducing these and other ocean-themed beads in my shop in a few weeks...
You may ask, what is the source of the fascination for the sea, in particular, for the history of sea-faring navigation? Easy - my father. My dad was a navigator in the air force (from the pre-computer days when they literally "shot" stars through a tiny astrodome in the top of the plane). He has always loved the water, sailing, and tales of the sea. I include here a photo of my dad teaching my daughter Audrey to pilot a sailboat.
Okay, that whale cup is totally awesome!
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to order from your shop! You had so many gorgeous things that I couldn't decide between, so I was going to come back and order some of what I didn't get... but I still haven't used the ones I have >.< I've been hoarding them :) I did use the little bird charm.. then took the bracelet apart and returned him to the hoard lol I just can't let myself order more until I use at least one of the ones I've ordered from you... and when I do, I think I'll be arguing with myself over which of your sea themed items to order :)I loved some of your squid/octopus pendants that resemble your mug up there! You should do more like that only with ship's wheels, lighthouses, all that yummy stuff :D
Skye - I will be making more vintage illustration pendants, with exactly the types of images you mentioned! Great minds think alike. ;-)
