Exploring sewing, painting, drawing and the wonders of Sea Glass I focus mainly on one of a kind women's accessories. All my creative works are made by me, designed by me, loved and labored over, by me. From my little work space at home, to my studio and shop near downtown Charlottetown, everything is handmade on Prince Edward Island. Art, Craft and Fashion - on PEI.

People ask me, 'aren't you worried about answering questions or putting out tutorials? Aren't you worried others might copy what you do?' I get asked this because I've shown sooo many people how to wrap a piece of Sea Glass. Answered a million emails on drilling Sea Glass. Sent pictures of wrapping techniques to folks wanting to make gifts with the Sea Glass they've found. I can't help it, when someone asks, I usually answer. Even though some of my contemporaries told me not to do this, not to divulge the secrets. "They just copy you". Were some of the people I helped going to sell their own Sea Glass Jewelry? You betcha. I'm quite flattered really, if I've inspired someone to start making and selling something for themselves. Especially these days when so many creative folks are self taught. There is so much out there to see and learn from, imitate at first to develop the skill then develop your own style and jump into the mix with your own product. I love it. You can't capture creativity, it will go on behind you, around you, bend and twist and morph without you.
But rather than ramble on myself, I'll share some talks on copyright and creativity from some talented talkers.
