Saturday morning coffee in my sunny studio ✨ as I sit here assembling necklaces for the upcoming @harmonyarts (in two weeks!) I’m feeling so incredibly grateful that I get to do this as my job because of all the people who have and continue to support my art. my passion. my meditation. my addiction. ✌🏻 . . . . #saturdayvibes #marketprep ##harmonyartsfestival #glass #glassartist #glassart #glassofig #handpainted #trees #rainbow #artistlife #vanvouverislandartist #makingmagic #tinyart #miniaturepaintings #comoxvalley #comoxvalleyartist #onmyworktable #productionmode #warmfuzzies
I recently came across some high quality sterling silver rings that are perfect to pair with one of a kind glass pieces. I’ll be offering a limited selection of beach sand rings at the @harmonyarts festival in 3 weeks! . . . . . #glass #fusedglass #beachsand #rings #comoxvalley #oneofakind #comoxvalleyartist #vanisleartist #vancouverislandlife #naturesglitter #westcoastbestcoast #lovewhereyoulive #magic #beachlovers #harmonyartsfestival #westvancouver #amblesidebeach #setyourselfapart
It’s Friday! (which doesn’t mean much in our household these days) but I did manage to get 40 pairs of beach sand studs online before the weekend. Hope the sun shines for you, wherever you are and that you find yourself doing exactly what you wish to do this weekend! . . . . . #glass #gladsofig #fusedglass #studearrings #beachsand #harmonyartsfestival #westvancouver #amblesidebeach #itstheweekend #aquamarine #beachlovers #comoxvalleyarts #comoxvalleyartist #westcoastbestcoast #westcoastcraft #vancouverislandartist #vanisleartist
Received a note this morning that went like this: “Hey Jen! I need some last minute teacher gifts by tomorrow. Got any studs?”. To which I replied “Yup. I have a few.” 😉 A busy mama is all set now. If you’re local to the Comox Valley and in the same predicament, I can help you out! . . . . . #teachergift #glassearrings #urbanfusions #fusedglass #studsfordays #comoxvalleyartist #icansavetheday #givethegiftofhandmade #earrings #canadianmade #vancouverislandmakers #wearableart #oneofakind #makeateachersmile

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
