Heavy production mode over here. These one of a kind earrings are created with nature’s glitter (beach sand) from the shores of ambleside beach which is also the exact location of where they’ll be found @harmonyarts. Just over 6 weeks to go! . . . . . . . #amblesidebeach #beachsand #harmonyartsfestival #harmonyarts #oneofakind #mismatchearrings #westvancouver #naturesglitter #glass #fusedglass #rainbow #earrings #canadianmade #summerbling #naturejewelry #westcoastbestcoast #handmade #vancouverislandartist #vanisleartist #vanislemade #vancouverislandmakers #comoxvalleyarts #comoxvalleyartist #tinyart #colourpop
Studio breaks include casual backyard hangouts under our tree with ice cream, daisy + dandelion chains, drawing in sketchbooks and making up songs with my kids about rainbows + unicorns + farts (🙄). Always rocking studs, mostly sparkly ones. Also, I’m SO in love with the two white streaks on each side of my hairline. I’ve been growing my natural hair out for almost 2 years now and it’s a constant reminder that I am exactly where I need to be in my life.✌🏻Now if only I could get those shiny grey hairs to stop breaking! . . . . . #keepitplayful #thesearethedays #littlehumans #urbanfusions #backyardhangs #momlife #dyefree #youngandgrey #youngandgray #glassartist #glassstuds #summervvibes #6hoursofsleep #bepresent #silverhair #silversisters #grombre #grombrehair #greyhairdontcare #greyhair #freashface #goinggrey #goinggray #embracethegrey #greyvolution #greyhairmovement #naturalhair #grayhairmovement #instagrey #saltandpepperhair
It’s 8:25am (19 degrees outside) and I’m already packing up to head to the lake. It’s gonna be another hot one here on the island.

Purple + blue + pink glass with sand from my favourite local beach, Kye Bay. At this time last year, the 4 of us (and the dog) were living in a tiny oceanfront kye bay cottage while waiting to move into our new home. We learned and grew so much as a family and having front row seats to an ever changing tide and shifting scenery is something I’ll always be grateful for. The ocean has played an integral part in my life over the years and I’m feeling this new expression in my bones. We can’t go to a beach without my daughter suggesting we bring home some sand to make new jewellery with. I really love what I do but I never thought this creative journey could be even more fun while raising little people. . . . . . #lovewhatyoudo #beachsand #beachlovers #teachthemyoung #jewellerydesigner #glass #westcoastcraft #westcoastbestcoast #sand #naturesglitter #setyourselfapart #kyebay #naturejewelry #comoxvalleyarts #comoxvalleyartist #vancouverislandmakers #fusedglass #purple #sparkles #urbanfusions #tinyart #beachsandart #canadiangirls #handmadeonvancouverisland
Trying out some different colour options + reactions between glass and silver. I love how this one turned out with the haze over the mountain range, reminiscent of an early morning sunrise. . . . . #mypnw #glass #mountains #vanislemade #comoxvalley #makersgonnamake #neutraltones #love #urbanfusions #natureinspiredjewelry ##natureinfused #banff #whistler #squamish #mountainlife #lakelouise #mountainlovers #vancouverisland #rockies #canadiangirl #outdoorliving #getoutside #glassartist #oneofakindart #tinyart #mymountain
✨Festival Announcement✨ I have been accepted to showcase my glass work at this year’s @harmonyarts Festival in West Vancouver! It’s been a few years since I did an art market of this scale and I’m thrilled to be working on new pieces to share with everyone. Especially the ones I’ve been creating with sand from the shores of the actual festival location, Ambleside Beach! I am feeling so grateful and can’t wait to see many familiar faces, hang with some of my favourite artisans and to meet new people. So, if you wanna come see me in the big city this summer, mark August 2-5 and August 9-11 in your calendars! . . . . #harmonyartsfestival #glass #handpainted #westcoastbestcoast #westcoastcraft #westvancouver #amblesidebeach #harmonyarts #naturejewelry #trees #backatit #vendorlife #urbanfusions #northshorebc #makerslife
Hand painting tree silhouettes on glass using a tiny head pin is my jam. ✌🏻 . . . . . #dowhatmakesyouhappy #dowhatyoudobest #trees #treeline #artrunsthroughmyveins #mulitmedia #practicemakesbetter #progress #handpainted #treesilhouette #westcoastbestcoast #natureart #westcoastcraft #mypnw #naturejewelry #harmonyartsfestival #handmadecanada #urbanfusions #glassartist #tinydetails #myhappy #mymeditation #createforlife #iloveglass #naturelover #tinyart #lovewhatyoudo
My favourite pair I’ve ever made. There’s at least one set in each firing 🤣This style is especially tricky to create because of the detail, it’s easy for them to turn out different sizes. These ones scream lush west coast trails... so much depth in these tiny lil’ guys💚 . . . . . #glassporn #glassofig #green #colourpop #urbanfusions #glassartist #tinyart #swirls #westcoastcraft #fusedglass #momswhocraft #comoxvalleyarts #comoxvalleyartist #harmonyartsfestival #glassaddict #marketprep #somanylayers #moltenglass #makersmark
This is what a simple Saturday looks like for me. It did not start off this way. My kids were up before 6am and there has been SO MUCH whining/screaming/bickering between them since they woke up. I just sent my husband out (armed with tons of snacks) to run the kids + dog. Byyyyye! 👋🏻 So, I’m gonna sit down and cut into this delicious piece I pulled out of the kiln this morning - in silence.✨ Hoping to make some stud earrings and a few one of a kind pendants from this one. Maybe some cuff links might happen too. Definitely open to suggestions if you got em’! If you need me, sorry I can’t help you because I have to fill my own cup! ✌🏻 . . . #simplesaturday #kidfreezone #itsohsoquiet #icanhearthebirds #glass #glassartist #beachsand #onmyworktable #fesitvalhustle #harmonyartsfestival #rainbow #bubbles #comoxvalleyarts #comoxvalleyartist #vanisleartist #westcoastcraft #westcoastbestcoast #naturejewelry #momswhocraft #mypnw #blundstones #workuniform #urbanfusions #creativityfound #mymeditation
