Mermaid Tears Sea Glass
My passion for sea glass hunting drives me to spend countless hours on the beach. The beach combing naturally progressed into handcrafting stunning distinctive sea glass jewelry. I use only sea glass that is naturally tumbled in the ocean and all of our jewelry is made with sea glass that we collected ourselves on secret beaches on Aquidneck Island, Rhode Island U.S.A..
Sea glass is naturally formed from tumbling for many years against the waves and sand. The combination of the location, winds, tides, sand and gravel make the sea glass frost smooth and shapes it into the beautiful pieces of history. Some of these pieces are 50-100 years old and would have come from old bottles discarded in dumps or thrown from ships. No two pieces of sea glass are the same, which makes them truly unique in nature, each revealing a distinct color, texture and shape. Each of these colorful collectible sea shore, one of a kind gems are hand selected for our unique jewelry. I transform the pieces of sea glass into striking earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants and accessories that are one of a kind heirlooms.
My sea glass jewelry showcases a variety of natural sea glass colors combined with unique charms, beads and natural elements. I like to work with bone, abalone, wood, glass, shells, seeds and paper. Our favorite metals are copper and sterling silver. Cabochons encapsulate the setting and allow us to share my photography work in special necklaces with secret hideaways.
This year, I started metalsmithing and initially thought she would be setting sea glass into rings and such but her work took a different turn than that. She has been working with OOAK burn out castings and all kinds of lost wax casting techniques. It's allowed us to do something very fun with the glass and shells that's even older than them. Lost wax casting is said to be about 5000 years old when our sea glass is 50-maybe 200 years old. This all melds together nicely.

Other than mint and basil, this is the first bounty of my little container garden on my balcony. I predict a jalapeño is the next to be picked. It’s not a lot but it’s only me and it’s fulfilling. I would have left it on the vine for another day or two but I knew I was going into the hospital. #tomato #balconygarden #containergardening #lovenature #waterburyct (at Waterbury, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNjAVYHC5oAgXBYIlmoTKwvwG7vpmm2dOVoL80/?igshid=2s2umurkpasz

My cooking has become impressive to myself recently. I never liked it before I got hurt. But, in 2011 I started to do simple things like cookies 🍪. These days, I barely need to look at recipes because I’ve memorized things and learned tricks that work. My oven cooks a little uneaten. There’s a bit of dark areas but it’s nice and soft because it’s thick crust. My favorite topping tonight was the hamburger pickles.

Pasta made from edamame that’s full of protein and it’s really good. Roasted sweet peppers 🌶 (roasted them myself), heavy cream, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley and lime, fresh lime juice, a little Cajun seasoning and lime zest. I’m very proud. I’ve never roasted peppers before. This is the second time I’ve made what’s called “fake Olive Garden pasta” and now I’ve put my spin on it and I love it. #vegatarianfood #mycookingjourney (at Waterbury, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDIhIbUnwklGzaOvauZF7IJD-ovGy6eUS-HJ-g0/?igshid=3fa31pzk0isv

Dan knew that I wasn’t particularly stable when he broke up with me and threw me into the streets. When I got my final haul of stuff out of his house, he included multiple packages of razor blades. When I went to the storage to get the bookcases, there were razor blades on the ground. Now as I unpack, I’m coming up on more and more. Somebody didn’t want me to stick around or at least wanted me to think that. I feel bad for anybody who dates him, and I’m glad that I’m not with him and they can have him. #badman #evil #suicideprevention #suicideawarness #razorbladeromance #razorblades #danpevide #devilworshiper #graverobber #losersclub (at Waterbury, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8voJqnpl5ix3F-3J87HZ9pm43AJYgVBf9c3k0/?igshid=hnnbz847yyjd
