Oceanic - Stone Necklace designs |
| 2008-10-06 16:10:22 |
I live by the ocean in a small town called Gouldsboro on the coast of Maine. I have been working with stone for the past two years. My wife and I built a little low impact green home on a bluff overlooking a salt water cove into the West Bay. I worked with stone in the house build and didn't stop there. This summer I started my first line of stone necklaces, I aptly branded as the Oceanic line. I trained for a short period of time and learned the craft under the guidance of another one of our creative members here at Maine Creates, named Obediah Buell. If you get a chance stop by his shop he is an amazing sculptor.

I like the simplicity in stone and the warm and calming feeling it gives me when I just sit back and look at it. My wife built a little studio in the back yard and this is now where I cut the stone and assemble my necklaces. I started out like everyone else I think and gave my necklaces away in the beginning. Then one day a lady said, hey, where did you get that, and I said, I made it. She said she wanted one, I said $50 and that was my first sale. I still give away many of my necklaces to our local art organization Schoodic Art s for All and I donate to art center auctions one or two pieces of pieces if they ask.
I really like the cut of this stone and I angled the cut so that it was some what offset. One side is a little high, and the other side is little low. It balances just right on the jump ring and the jet black color really pops. Ummm I just love it and hope you will too. |
