Fort Bragg Glass Beach

I was talking to an acquaintance recently and she mentioned she was heading to Mendocino.  I mentioned I am teaching Sea Glass Jewelry classes and I'd heard about a beach at Fort Bragg that is covered in sea glass.  She drove an hour and a half out of her way to bring me back a bag of sea glass! I was stunned!  Think I'll make her a necklace.

Mosaic Shoe


Love my mosaic shoe!  Heidi Borchers taught this amazing class in her awesome studio filled with all kinds of tiles, beads, baubles...you name it she had it.  My inspiration was my grandparents China that was broken many years ago and has been hanging around taking up space.  I am thrilled to have preserved the heirloom and created a work of art in the process.
