Art Elements Challenge: Tidepools

Living near the Oregon coast, I get to have many strolls along the beach!  In fact, looking for treasures in the sand is one of my favorite things to do - irridescent mussle shells, agates, the occasional rare shell, photos of the tidepools, all make their way home with me.  One of my favorite sets of tidepools is at Cannon Beach - I highly recommend a trip there at low tide!


I've been experimenting with using glass in my ceramic pendants and last summer made several of these "forest pools."  


So when this month's challenge was announced, I knew I had to try using this technique to make little portable tidepools!  Here's what I've come up with so far:



These two are currently up in my store (stoneypointstudio.com) with more to come!

Check out the inspiration post at Art Elements here and be sure to take a look at how others who participated were inspired:

    1. Actually it's glass fired with the glaze- I've been wanting to try resin too, though!
