Taking in the Pink Craze? We’ve got you covered!
Over the last few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to pull out all the “pink stops!” From a girlfriend’s trip to see “Barbie” to participating in several wonderful “Play for Pink” breast cancer fundraisers – I’ve nearly exhausted my pink wardrobe! When I look out at my garden, I am overwhelmed with the sheer beauty of fuchsia pink gladiolas. So, as I began to prepare for the upcoming Cape Ann Artisans summer mini-tour, I decided to take a pink inventory.
It starts with all my Cape Ann Artisan materials. Way ahead of the pink craze (in fact, by 40 years), we have branded our tour in pink. So, if you forget everything else on August 12th pick up a pink brochure and follow the pink flags!
But right here in my sea glass world I took a deep dive into my sea glass jewelry collection and found some wonderful surprises. For starters, I have a barrette that combines pink sea pottery with a pink striped piece of sea glass – a truly unique find and combination!
Using lavender sea glass, one of my newest designs includes many tones that border on pink. This newest lariat and matching earrings are called “spinning tops” – using bottlenecks and deep pink pearls.
The Woven Wonders collection features an exquisite curved, very deep lavender piece of sea glass that is hanging off a multi-colored metal choker.
I also found a classic beauty – a necklace that layers a pink patterned piece of pottery on top of a lavender-pinkish piece of sea glass making a statement.
The Line in the Sand leather outlined necklace shown here is made from a very old and impressive piece of lavender sea glass that is borderline pink. Imagine, this was white when it started and has turned this color over likely 75-100 years due to the manganese in the glass reacting to the sun!
And finally, the Anchor collection also has several nods to lavender and pink combinations.
Peruse these photos and you can see how integral pink is to the overall collection. Any one of these pieces of wearable art will enhance your pink look for the coming months while we wait to see how Barbie does at the Academy Awards. Maybe someday, there will be a Sea Glass Barbie!
