Sea Gem and Bead Craft

22/08/2026

A beautiful Friday morning in Ardglass beachcombing with my granddaughters. The sun was shining, the tide was low, and we found an abundance of sea glass, pottery and driftwood. 💚
These days I only collect pieces I know I’ll have a use for — white and green glass for angel bodies, blue for flowers, brown for tree trunks, pottery for little plant pots and hearts, and driftwood for the bases of my creations.
Afterwards, we enjoyed a well-deserved treat at the lovely Watersedge Café. ☕️🍰
A perfect morning of sunshine, family and seaside treasures. ❤️

Inspired by the colourful cacti of Gran Canaria, I've turned reclaimed beach pallet wood, sea glass and pottery into these handmade cactus pot shelves. A little reminder of sunny holidays and seaside treasures, all in these unique pieces.

I've been continuing to build my Christmas collection and have spent the last few weeks creating these Christmas churches from driftwood and reclaimed wood. Each one is handmade and has its own unique character. They're now finished and tucked away in storage, ready to make an appearance when the Christmas season returns.

Had a couple of weeks off markets, so I’ve been busy making 😊
Started my Christmas collection—driftwood and sea glass trees 🎄 Each one unique.
A touch of oil brings out all those beautiful greens, with tiny pops of colour.
They’ll be packed away soon, ready for the Christmas markets!
