Workshop with John Gholson

The workshop with artist, John Gholson, was very informative and fun! I learned not only a different way of painting, but several bits of knowledge that I can use in my mixed media projects. John is very talented. Here are some of his paintings as well as the project we were working on as a class.

Trinkets' Sea Glass Collection

Trinkets is pleased to announce, "The Sea Glass Collection", for spring, 2014. These wonderful colors of the ocean in unique designs will complement your favorite fashions. To purchase, go to www.trinketsjewelry.etsy.com

The inspiration for this collection...Sea glass is a metaphor for life. We start out whole and beautiful...but, we are also delicate and fragile. Just like sea glass, we are "tumbled" by life as the sea glass is "tumbled" by the waves.

In the process, we can become broken or the "tumbling" can polish us as we become precious jewels on our own individual path...God's perfect plan for our lives.
