"I want to age like sea glass, smoothed by tides, not broken..." This beautiful poem was written by Bernadette Noll after the sudden passing of her sister. "Life is precious and meant to be joyful, full of beauty, and satisfying. Sea glass is kind of like that. Precious. Joyful. Beautiful. And satisfying." Bernadette’s poem echoes the messages of wonder, possibility, and acceptance. This beautifully framed poem features a high quality print of my original watercolor painting, enhanced with frosted tumbled glass, sea shells, and preserved star fish.

When you buy something handmade, you are buying so much more than an object. You are buying hours of experimentation, success, and failure. You are buying perfect imperfection. You are buying days, weeks, and months of work. You are buying a piece of the heart and soul of the craftsperson.
