Sea Glass and Sea Pottery
The sea pottery and sea glass used in my designs is predominantly from the beaches of the east coast of Fife in Scotland.
I love the historical questions related to these finds. What were they in a previous life? Who used the item? What were they used for? What sort of life did the owner live? In what type of dwelling did they live?
This beautiful piece of pottery was set in silver plated woven wire, with glass seed bead accents.
In soft shades of green, this piece of pottery is wrapped in woven copper with an accent of rough emerald.
This amazing find is completely natural and has not been altered in any way.
It is decorated with sterling silver.

A sea glass nipple!
Yes you read that correctly! This piece of white sea glass has been worn into the shape of a breast! The antique bronze wirework was designed to resemble a bra cup :-)

Quite a large, thick piece of pottery which was probably part of a vase or platter. It is set in silver coloured copper tape and silver plated wire, with accents of rough emeralds.
This piece of pottery is light weight and dainty but still striking. Wrapped in non-tarnish copper.
This is one of my favourite pieces of sea glass and one of the first that I wrapped. It was probably the stem of a fairly heavy glass which has been so beautifully worn by the sea.
It is wrapped and accented in sterling silver.

A rare find, this spoke to me! Set in woven copper, this is a masculine piece.
It seemed appropriate to make a seahorse with sea glass! This one is wrapped in silver plated wire with sparkling silver beads.
